Answer:
<em>displacement = -85 miles</em>
Explanation:
<u>Displacement
</u>
It's a magnitude used to measure the linear space between two points. It's computed as the subtraction of the final position minus the initial position which results in a vector. Notice the displacement only depends on the initial and final positions and not on the path the object has traveled.
Brayden starts to measure his position when the mile marker reads 260. Then he travels to the 150-mile marker and goes back to the 175-mile marker, his final position. As mentioned, the displacement only depends on the relative positions, so
displacement = 175 - 260 = -85 miles
Answer:
Total distance = 700 m
Displacement = 500 m
Explanation:
Notice that Jed travelled a total of 3 x 100 m = 300 m in the North direction, and 300 m + 100 m = 400 m in the East direction. Therefore the total distance he travelled is: 300 + 400 = 700 m.
But the actual displacement is given by the Pythagorean theorem as the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle of legs 300 m and 400 m:

Answer:
25 psi
Explanation:
The weight of the car is:
W = mg
W = 1550 kg * 9.8 m/s²
W = 15,190 N
Divided by 4 tires, each tire supports:
F = W/4
F = 15,190 N / 4
F = 3797.5 N
Pressure is force divided by area, so:
P = F / A
P = (3797.5 N) / (0.16 m × 0.14 m)
P ≈ 170,000 Pa
101,325 Pa is the same as 14.7 psi, so:
P ≈ 170,000 Pa × (14.7 psi / 101,325 Pa)
P ≈ 25 psi
