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 car traveling at 23m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 7 seconds. What is the acceleration?
Lena [83]

The car has an initial velocity v_0 of 23 m/s and a final velocity v of 0 m/s. Recall that for constant acceleration,

v=v_0+at

The car stops in 7 s, so the acceleration is

0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}=23\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}+a(7\,\mathrm s)

\implies a\approx-3.29\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}

Thomas Newcomen was the first to produce a working steam engine. Why is the work of James Watt more widely known than the work o
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The steam engine of James watt is more efficient than Newcomen ans more suitable for the industrial revolution.

Explanation:

James Watt is more widely know for working steam engine because Watt has created better engine which is suitable for the industrial revolution. The steam engine of James watt is more efficient than Newcomen. Watt developed the condensing arrangement by using piston which lessen the initial pressure leading to effectively worked than Newcomen's

A roller coaster travels around a vertical 8-m radius loop. Determine the speed at the top of the loop if the normal force exert
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

v=10m/sec

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Radius of vertical r= 8m

Force exerted by passengers is 1/4 of weight

Generally the net force acting on top of the roller coaster is give to be

F_N+Fg

where

F_N =forceof the normal

Fg= force due to gravity

Generally the net force is given to be FC(force towards center)

F_C =F_N + Fg

F_N =F_C -Fg

F_N=F_C-F_g

F_N=\frac{mv^2}{R} -mg

Mathematical we can now derive V

m_g + \frac{8m}{4}= \frac{mv^2}{8}

\frac{5mg}{4} =\frac{mv^2}{8}

v^2 =\frac{40*10}{4}

v=10m/sec

Therefore the speed of the roller coaster is given ton be v=10m/sec
