Physics
1 answer:

4 0

1) False

2) True

3) The distance is 17 m

4) The displacement is 2 m south

5) She did not give the direction as either left, or negative.

6) The average speed is 28 mph

7) The average velocity is 12 mph north

8) The average speed is 0.27 m/s

9) False

10) False

Explanation:

1)

Speed is a scalar quantity which tells how fast an object is moving regardless of its direction, and it is calculated as:

speed=\frac{d}{t}

where d is the distance covered by the object and t is the time taken. Being a scalar quantity, speed consists only of a value and its units, so no direction needs to be specified.

2)

Velocity is a vector quantity, defined as

velocity = \frac{d}{t}

where d is the displacement of the object (a vector connecting the initial position to the final position of motion) and t is the time taken. Being a vector, velocity has both a magnitude and a direction (the same direction as the displacement), so direction here should also be specified.

3)

The distance travelled by the object is just the total length of the path taken, regardless of the direction of each part of the motion.

Here the object moves:

10 meters to the right

7 meters to the left

So, the distance travelled is

d = 10 + 7 = 17 m

4)

The displacement is a vector connecting the initial position to the final position of motion, so we have to compare the starting position with the final position.

Taking x = 0 as initial position, and north as positive direction:

- The object moves 5 m north first (+5)

- The object moves 7 m south (-7)

So, the displacement is

d = +5 + (-7) = -2 m

which means 2 meters south.

5)

As we said previously, displacement is a vector connecting the initial position to the final position of motion. Being a vector, it must have:

- A magnitude (the shortest distance between the initial and final position, in a straight line)

- A direction

Here Jenny reported only the magnitude (3 meters), but not the direction, so she forgot to include the direction of the displacement (which is to the left).

6)

The average speed is given by

speed=\frac{d}{t}

where d is the distance and t is the time taken.

The distance is just the total length covered, so:

d = 5 + 2 = 7 miles

The time taken is

t = 1/4 h = 0.25 h

So, the average speed is

speed=\frac{7}{0.25}=28 mph

7)

The average velocity is given by

velocity=\frac{d}{t}

where d is the displacement and t is the time taken.

The displacement is, taking north as positive direction:

d = +5 + (-2) = 3 miles (north)

The time taken is

t = 1/4 h = 0.25 h

So, the average velocity is

velocity=\frac{3}{0.25}=12 mph (north)

8)

We can calculate the average speed by adding the single measurements and dividing by the number of trials done:

speed_{avg}=\frac{s_1+s_2+s_3}{3}

where in this case, N = 3. For this experiment we have:

s_1 = \frac{0.75 m}{2.5s}=0.30 m/s\\s_2 = \frac{0.75 m}{2.75 s}=0.27 m/s\\s_3=\frac{0.75 m}{2.98 s}=0.25 s

So the average is

speed_{avg}=\frac{0.30+0.27+0.25}{3}=0.27 m/s

9)

Data are said to be:

- Accurate, when the average value of the measurements is close to the actual value

- Precise, when the spread of the measurements done in the different trials is small

Therefore, the first part of the sentence "Data that is accurate, is data that is really close to the actual value" is correct, and the second part "data that is precise is data that is repeated over and over again" is not correct, since we may have several measurements but their spread may be large.

10)

As we said in part 9):

- Accuracy refers to how close the measured value is to the actual value

- Precision refers to the spread (or the uncertainty) on the measured value: the smaller it is, the better the precision

For instance, let's assume that the actual value of a certain variable is 3.0. If we get the following set of data:

2.4, 2.5, 2.4, 2.3

it is precise (the spread is small) but not accurate (since the average, 2.4, is far from the actual value)

while the following set:

3.1, 3.6, 2.4, 3.0

is accurate (the average is around 3.0, so close to the actual value), but not precise (the spread is very large).

Help me please to do those problems...
Stells [14]

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
