A 'displacement' always consists of a magnitude and a direction. The two cars you just described have displacements with the same magnitude ... 5 km. But if they didn't both drive in the same direction, then their displacements are different.
Remember:
-- 10 m/s² up and 10 m/s² down are different accelerations
-- 30 mph East and 30 mph West are the same speed but different velocity.
-- 5 km North and 5 km South are the same distance but different displacement.
Answer:
B) Degrees
Explanation:
The directions of the vectors are often defined in terms of due East, due North, due West and due South. A direction exactly in between of North and East can be described as Northeast, similarly we can describe directions in terms of Northwest, Southeast and South west.
From these, the direction of a vector can be easily expressed in degrees, which is measured counter clockwise about its tail from due East. Considering that we can say that East is at 0° , North is at 90° , West is at 180 and South is at 270° counter clockwise rotation from due East.
So, we know that the direction of a vector lying somewhere between due East i.e 0° and due North i.e 90°, will be measured in degrees, which will have a value between 0°-90°
The horizontal and vertical components of a projectile's velocity are independent of each other.
Answer: Option C
<u>Explanation:</u>
The path of a projectile is determined by two components of motion. They are termed as horizontal and the vertical components. Since both components velocity are perpendicular to each other, so it can stated that they are independent of each other.
Even it can seen that when the horizontal components of velocity is constant, then there will be change in the vertical components of velocity leading to free fall projectile path.
And in the absence of gravity, there will be change in the horizontal components of velocity with zero vertical component of velocity. Thus, the horizontal and the vertical components of a projectile’s velocity are seemed to be independent of each other.
There is no <span>radioactive decay</span>
Answer:
a. True - Joules is the unit measure for energy.
b. False - Potential energy is associated with position
c. False - Kinetic energy is associated with movement.
d. False - It's climbing, which means it also has kinetic energy.
