Keeping in mind that:

- Distance is the length of the total path covered by the person, regardless of the directions of the different parts of motion

- Displacement is just the distance in a straight line between the final point and the initial point

Let's apply these concepts to solve the different parts of the problem:

1. 120 m, 80 m west

The total distance is the sum of the length of the different paths:

distance = 100 + 20 = 120 m

To find the displacement, we need to find the distance between the starting point and the ending point. Assuming the starting point as

x = 0

Michelle moved 100 m westward  and 20 m eastward, so the ending point is at

ending point = 100 - 20 = 80 m (westward)

So, the displacement is

displacement = 80 - 0 = 80 m (west)

2. 6400 m, 0

The distance is equal to the length of the track multiplied by the number of laps, so:

distance = 1600 \cdot 4 = 6400 m

The track is circular, and the runner completes exactly 4 laps: it means that at the end of the motion, the runner is at her starting point. So ending point and starting point coincide, and so the displacement

displacement = ending point - starting point = 0

3. 40 m; 10 m forward

The total distance is just the sum of the lengths of the different parts of the motion, so:

distance = 20 + 5 + 10 + 5 = 40 m

The find the displacement, we need to assign signs to every direction:

Forward --> positive along the forward-backward direction

Backard --> negative along the forward-backward direction

Right --> positive direction along the right-left direction

Left --> negative direction along the right-left direction

Along the forward-backward direction, the displacement is:

20 m forward and 10 m backward, so 20 - 10 = 10 (forward)

Along the left right direction, the displacement is:

5 m right and 5 m left, so 5 - 5 = 0

So the net displacement is 10 m (forward)

4. 16 km; 4 km south

Again, t total distance is the sum of the lengths of the different parts of the motion, so:

distance = 2 + 4 + 6 + 4 = 16 km

To find the displacement, we assign signs to every direction:

North --> positive along the north-south direction

south --> negative along the north-south direction

east --> positive direction along the east-west direction

west --> negative direction along the east-west direction

Along the north-south direction, the displacement is:

2 km north and 6 km south, so 2 - 6 = -4 km (4 km south)

Along the east-west direction, the displacement is:

4 km east and 4 km west, so 4 - 4 = 0

So the net displacement is 4 km south

5. 37.7 m; 24 m

The distance covered by the skater is the length of half circumference, so given the radius

r = 12 m

The distance is

distance= \pi r = \pi \cdot (12)=37.7 m

The displacement is the distance in a straight line between the ending position and the starting position. Since the skater ends her motion halfway around the circle, the distance between the initial and final point is equal to the diameter of the circle (two times the radius). So,

displacement = 2r = 2 \cdot 12 = 24 m

A jet is travelling at a speed of 1200 km/h and drops cargo from a height of 2.5 km above the ground Calculate the time it takes
OLEGan [10]

a) Time of flight: 22.6 s

To calculate the time it takes for the cargo to reach the ground, we just consider the vertical motion of the cargo.

The vertical position at time t is given by

y(t) = h +u_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h = 2.5 km = 2500 m is the initial height

u_y = 0 is the initial vertical velocity of the cargo

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

The cargo reaches the ground when

y(t) = 0

So substituting it into the equation and solving for t, we find the time of flight of the cargo:

0 = h - \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2500)}{9.8}}=22.6 s

b) 7.5 km

The range travelled by the cargo can be calculated by considering its horizontal motion only. In fact, the horizontal motion is a uniform motion, with constant velocity equal to the initial velocity of the jet:

v_x = 1200 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=333.3 m/s

So the horizontal distance travelled is

d=v_x t

And if we substitute the time of flight,

t = 22.6 s

We find the range of the cargo:

d=(333.3)(22.6)=7533 m = 7.5 km

What is the potential difference across a parallel-plate capacitor whose plates are separated by a distance of 4.0 mm where each
suter [353]

The potential difference across the parallel plate capacitor is 2.26 millivolts

<h3>Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor</h3>

The capacitance of the parallel plate capacitor is given by C = ε₀A/d where

  • ε₀ = permittivity of free space = 8.854 × 10⁻¹² F/m,
  • A = area of plates and
  • d = distance between plates = 4.0 mm = 4.0 × 10⁻³ m.

<h3>Charge on plates</h3>

Also, the surface charge on the capacitor Q = σA where

  • σ = charge density = 5.0 pC/m² = 5.0 × 10⁻¹² C/m² and
  • a = area of plates.

<h3>The potential difference across the parallel plate capacitor</h3>

The potential difference across the parallel plate capacitor is V = Q/C

= σA ÷ ε₀A/d

= σd/ε₀

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

V = σd/ε₀

V = 5.0 × 10⁻¹² C/m² × 4.0 × 10⁻³ m/8.854 × 10⁻¹² F/m

V = 20.0 C/m × 10⁻³/8.854 F/m

V = 2.26 × 10⁻³ Volts

V = 2.26 millivolts

So, the potential difference across the parallel plate capacitor is 2.26 millivolts
