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 positively charged non-metal ball A is placed near metal ball B. Prove that if the charge on B is positive but of small magnit
nordsb [41]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Ball A is a non positively charged non metal while ball B is metal ball.

Given: The ball B positive charge of small magnitude

To prove: Balls will attract each other

IN this condition because of induction negative charges on the sphere B move to the side closer to sphere A,(induction charging) while the positive charges move to the side further away from sphere A. The polarization of charge on B will cause a greater attractive force than the repulsion of the like charges.

Hence the correct answer will be D .

what is the potential energy of the ball when it gets to its maximum height just before falling back to the ground​
love history [14]

Answer:

I will say that the the potential energy will be at its maximum.

Explanation:

potential energy deals with gravity and gravity deals with height, so when a object is in its maximum height it will have the maximum potential energy.

Determine the elastic energy U stored in<br> the compressed spring.
hoa [83]

Answer:

Answer: The spring constant of the spring is k = 800 N/m, and the potential energy is U = 196 J. To find the distance, rearrange the equation: The equation to find the distance the spring has been compressed is therefore: The spring has been compressed 0.70 m, which resulted in an elastic potential energy of U = 196 J being stored.

Energy slowly leaks outward through the diffusion of photons that repeatedly bounce off ions and electrons
stepan [7]

Energy slowly leaks outward through the radiative diffusion of photons that repeatedly bounce off ions and electrons.

<h3>What is radiative diffusion?</h3>

A radiation zone is a layer of a star's core where energy is mostly carried toward the outside by radiative diffusion and thermal conduction rather than convection.

As photons, energy passes through the radiation zone as electromagnetic radiation.

The radiative diffusion of photons that repeatedly bounce off ions and electrons progressively drains energy outward.

Hence,radiative diffusion is correct answer.
