Why is their displacement the same when the distance each traveled was different?

1 answer:

4 0

Displacement is how far something is from its starting position

for example if X moved 10 feet, turned around and moved 30 feet, its distance would be 40, but the displacement would be 20,
and if Y Moved 2 feet, and turned around and moved 22 feet, its distance would be 24, but its displacement would also be 20

An artificial satellite circles Earth in a circular orbit at a location where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.00 m/s2. Dete

Ksju [112]

g = GMe/Re^2, where Re = Radius of earth (6360km), G = 6.67x10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2, and Me = Mass of earth. On the earth's surface, g = 9.81 m/s^2, so the radius of your orbit is:

R = Re * sqrt (9.81 m/s^2 / 9.00 m/s^2) = 6640km

here, the speed of the satellite is:

v = sqrt(R*9.00m/s^2) = 7730 m/s

the time it would take the satellite to complete one full rotation is:

T = 2*pi*R/v = 5397 s * 1h/3600s = 1.50 h

Hope it help i know it's long and may be confusing but if you have any more questions regarding this topic just hmu! :)

slader the cross section of a 5-ft long trough is an isosceles trapezoid with a 2 foot lower base, a 3-foot upper base, and an a

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

0.08 ft/min

Explanation:

To get the speed at witch the water raising at a given point we need to know the area it needs to fill at that point in the trough (the longitudinal section), which is given by the height at that point.

So we need to get the lenght of the sides for a height of 1 foot. Given the geometry of the trough, one side is the depth d and the other (lets call it l) is given by:

$l=\frac{3-2}{2}\,ft+2\,ft\\l=2.5\,ft$

since the difference between the upper and lower base is the increase in the base and we are only at halft the height.

Now we can calculate the longitudinal section A at that point:

$A=d\times l\\A=5\,ft \times 2.5\, ft\\A=12.5\, ft^{2}$

And the raising speed v of the water is given by:

$v=\frac{q}{A}\\v=\frac{1\, \frac{ft^3}{min}}{12.5\, ft^2}\\v=0.08\, \frac{ft}{min}$

where q is the water flow (1 cubic foot per minute).
