Answer:

The swimmer has a distance traveled of 800 meters.

The final displacement of the swimmer is 0 meters.

Explanation:

A lap is a round trip made by a swimmer in the pool, so that the distance traveled by swimmer is sixteen times the length of the swimming pool. That is:

s = \left(2\,\frac{travels}{lap} \right)\cdot \left(8\,laps \right)\cdot \left(50\,\frac{m}{travel}\right)

s = 800\,m

A swimmer has a distance traveled of 800 meters.

The displacement is the distance between swimmer and a reference point, let suppose that reference point is located at the beginning of the first lap. Hence, the final displacement of the swimmer is 0 meters.

Lori’s family is on a road trip. They split their drive into the five legs listed in the table. Find the average velocity for ea
NARA [144]
It's not possible to answer the question exactly the way it's written.
That's because we don't know anything about the direction they
drive at any time during the trip. 

You see, "velocity" is not just a word that you use for 'speed' when
you want to sound smart and technical, like this question is doing. 
"Velocity" is a quantity that's made up of speed AND THE DIRECTION
of the motion.  If you don't know the direction of the motion, then you
CAN'T tell the velocity, only the speed.

Here are the average speeds that Lori's family drove on each leg
of their trip:

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .

Leg-A:  
Speed = 15km/10min = 1.5 km/min

Leg-B:  
Speed = 20km/15min = (1 and 1/3) km/min

Leg-C  
Speed = 24km/12min = 2 km/min

Leg-D:  
Speed = 36km/9min = 4 km/min

Leg-E: 
Speed = 14km/14min = 1 km/min

From lowest speed to highest speed, they line up like this:

[Leg-E] ==> [Leg-B] ==> [Leg-A] ==> [Leg-C] ==> [Leg-D]
  1.0 . . . . . . . . 1.3 . . . . . . . 1.5 . . . . . . . 2.0 . . . . . . . 4.0 . . . . km/minute   

Whoever drove Leg-D should have been roundly chastised
and then abandoned by the rest of the family.  36 km in 9 minutes
(4 km per minute) is just about 149 miles per hour !

20 POINTS PLUS BRAINLIEST What work is done by a system on its environment when an ideal gas is maintained at a constant pressur
Oliga [24]

Say you have 60 cubic meters of an ideal gas at a pressure of 200 pascals. You heat the gas until it expands to a volume of 120 cubic meters. How much work does the gas do? All you have to do is plug in the numbers:

The gas does 12,000 joules of work as it expands under constant pressure.
