Displacement is the distance and direction from the start point to the end point. Our runner finished exactly where he started. His displacement is zero.

Answer:

Total displacement is 0.

Explanation:

The displacement of runner is equal to the shortest path covered by it. It is equal to final position minus initial position.

While distance covered by runner is equal to the total path covered by it.

Here, we have to find the displacement of a runner who runs exactly 2 laps around a 400 meter track.

In this case, the amount of displacement in 2 laps is zero because the runner is exactly at initial point after 2 laps.

Hence, the correct option is (b).

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

104.3 cm or 179.7

Explanation:

First find time that it takes for the object to hit the ground

$\sqrt{(2H)/g} -> \sqrt{(2 x 179)/ 9.8} = 6.04s\\$ *

Then find xf of projectile $xf= 5.9(6.04) = 37.7\\\\$

not 100% sure if the projectile is going away from the object or towards it but you either do 142- 37.7 or 142+37.7

hope that helps

In a certain time interval, natural gas with energy content of 19000 J was piped into a house during a winter day. In the same t

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The amount of heat transfer is 21,000J .

Explanation:

The equation form of thermodynamics is,

ΔQ=ΔU+W

Here, ΔQ is the heat transferred, ΔU is the change in internal energy, and W is the work done.

Substitute 0 J for W and 0 J for ΔU

ΔQ = 0J+0J

ΔQ = 0J

The change in internal energy is equal to zero because the temperature changes of the house didn’t change. The work done is zero because the volume did not change

The heat transfer is,

ΔQ=Q (in ) −Q (out )

Substitute 19000 J + 2000 J for Q(in) and 0 J for Q(out)

ΔQ=(19000J+2000J)−(0J)

=21,000J

Thus, the amount of heat transfer is 21,000J .

A simple pendulum is made from a 0.54-m-long string and a small ball attached to its free end. The ball is pulled to one side th

Serga [27]

Answer:

0.37sec

Explanation:

Period of oscillation of a simple pendulum of length L is:

T = 2 π × √ (L /g)

L=length of string 0.54m

g=acceleration due to gravity

T-period

T = 2 x 3.14 x √[0.54/9.8]

T = 1.47sec

An oscillating pendulum, or anything else in nature that involves "simple harmonic" (sinusoidal) motion, spends 1/4 of its period going from zero speed to maximum speed, and another 1/4 going from maximum speed to zero speed again, etc. After four quarter-periods it is back where it started.

The ball will first have V(max) at T/4,

=>V(max) = 1.47/4 = 0.37 sec
