A space shuttle takes off from FL and circles Earth several times, finally landing in CA. While the shuttle is in flight, a phot

ographer flies from FL to CA to take pictures of astronauts when they step off the shuttle. Who undergoes the greater displacement, the astronauts or the photographer?

Answer:

Both the astronauts and photographer have the same displacement

Explanation:

Displacement is the minimum distance between two point. The initial point of both the astronauts and the photographer was Florida and the final point was California. So, the minimum distance for both of the astronauts and the photographer would be the distance between Florida and California would be the same.

Hence, both the astronauts and photographer will have the same displacement.

A train takes ms eaddy 200 miles north and 150 miles south. The total trip took 3.5 hours what was the average velocity of the t
Verizon [17]
The whole point of this problem is to check how well you understand
the definitions of a few important quantities, like velocity, speed, distance,
displacement etc.

Before we begin, I just want to mention that 'MPG' is not a unit of either
velocity or speed, but I think I know what you mean.

-- For some reason, Ms. Eaddy rode 100 miles north on the train, then
stayed aboard while the train turned around and took her 150 miles south.
The total distance she rode was (100 + 150) = 250 miles.  But she ended up
50 miles south of where she began.

-- Displacement for the whole trip = distance and direction from the start point
to the finish point.

Displacement = 50 miles south

-- Average velocity = (displacement) / (time)

50 miles south / 3.5 hours = <u>14.29 miles per hour south</u>

The velocity of the water in the pipe at right is given by V1 = 0.5t m/s and V2 = 1.0t m/s, where t is in seconds. Determine the
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

A) At point 1, local acceleration = 0.5 m/s²

At point 2, local acceleration = 1.0 m/s²

B) Average Eulerian convective acceleration over the two points in the cross section shown = 0.5 m/s²

This value is positive indicating an increase in velocity and acceleration kf the fluid as the cross sectional Area of flow reduces.

Explanation:

Local acceleration at those points is the instantaneous acceleration at those points and it is given as

a = dv/dt

At point 1, v₁ = 0.5 t

a₁ =dv₁/dt = 0.5 m/s²

At point 2, v₂ = 1.0 t

a₂ = dv₂/dt = 1.0 m/s²

b) Average Eulerian convective acceleration over the two points in the cross section shown = (change of velocity between the two points)/time

Change of velocity between the two points = v₂ - v₁ = 1.0t - 0.5t = 0.5 t

Time = t

Average acceleration = 0.5t/t = 0.5 m/s²

This value is positive indicating an increase in velocity and acceleration kf the fluid as the cross sectional Area of flow reduces.

ASHA 777 [7]

The properties that change how we perceive light waves are the following:

The amplitude of the light wave changes the brightness of light relative to other light waves of the same wavelenghth.

The frequency of the light wave changes the color and the type of the light wave.
