Answer:
Explanation:
This is going to sound like an absurd answer, but sometimes physics can be a little strange.
This answer is weird because of the definition of displacement. It means the distance from the starting point to the ending point, disregarding what happened in between. The point is that the astronaut is at the starting point of his orbit. By definition the starting and ending points are the same. His displacement is 0.
So the answer is you have the greater displacement when you walked one way to school. The starting point and the ending point are different. You have gone further.
However just to make things a little nasty, when you walk home again, your displacement will be the same as the astronaut's -- 0 meters because you will be right back where you started from.
Answer:
Explanation:
Length = 1.00 m
If the length is 1.0, the vertical distance pivot to bob is cos 35 = 0.819
At the lowest point, vertical distance is 1.0, so the change is the difference, 0.181 meter
The potential energy of that height is converted to kinetic energy of motion, which determines the speed.
PE = KE
mgh = ½mV²
V = √(2gh) = 1.88 m/s

Answer:
16613 m/s
Explanation:
Given that
mass of the fly, m = 0.55 g = 0.55*10^-3 kg
Kinetic Energy of the fly, E = 7.6*10^4 J
Speed of the fly, v = ? m/s
We know that the Kinetic Energy is that energy that an object, in this case, the fly, possesses due to its motion.
The Kinetic Energy, KE of any object is represented by the formula
KE = 1/2 * m * v²
If we substitute the values in the relation, we have,
7.6*10^4 = 1/2 * 0.55*10^-3 * v²
v² = (15.2*10^4) / 0.55*10^-3
v² = 2.76*10^8
v = √2.76*10^8
v = 16613 m/s
Thus, the fly would need a speed of 16.6 km/s in order to have a Kinetic Energy of 7.6*10^4 J
