Answer:

Distance is 5.0 km and displacement is 0 km.

Explanation:

The diagram is shown below.

Distance is the total length that the truck covers along the complete journey. The truck moves from a stone quarry covering a length of 2.5 km and then again come back to the same point and thus covering another 2.5 km. Therefore, the total length covered by the truck is the sum of forward and backward paths which is equal to 5.0 km.

Now, displacement depends only on the initial and final position. It is given as the difference of final position and initial position. So, the truck starts from stone quarry and returns back to the same position. So, the initial position and final position is same. Therefore, the difference is 0 and hence displacement is zero.

Straight upward

the ball moves in the forward direction with your walking speed at all times. If you want the ball to land in your hand when it comes back down, you should toss the ball straight upward.

<h3>What is Projectile motion ?</h3>

Projectile motion is the motion of an object thrown (projected) into the air.

After the initial force that launches the object, it only experiences the force of gravity. The object is called a projectile, and its path is called its trajectory

A projectile can be a thrown ball, a bullet or a springboard diver ... Except for air resistance, the forward velocity of any projectile is constant and is equal to the initial velocity when it was released.

Kissa and Lily ran a race in gym class Lily was off balance so she did not start until 2 seconds had passed

Paul [167]

Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Tissa covered 60 meters in 10 seconds. Her average speed was

(60 m) / (10 sec) = 6 m/s.

That's the slope of the dotted line.

Lilly covered 60 meters in 8 seconds. Her average speed was

(60 m) / (8 sec) = 7.5 m/s .

That's the slope of the solid line.

Lilly covered the same distance in less time, and both girls
arrived at the finish line together. Technically, in science talk,
we would say that Lilly ran "faster", and her average speed
was "greater".

We can detect that by looking at the graph, because Lilly's line
has the characteristic of being "steeper", and we know that the
slope of the line on a distance/time graph is "speed".

Starting from zero, the electric current takes 2 seconds to reach half its maximum possible value in an RL circuit with a resist

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

time=4s

Explanation:

we know that in a RL circuit with a resistance R, an inductance L and a battery of emf E, the current (i) will vary in following fashion

$i(t)=\frac{E}{R}(1-e^\frac{-t}{\frac{L}{R}})$ , where $i$ max= $\frac{E}{R}$
