If you ride your bicycle down a straight road for 500m then turn around and ride back, your distance is greater than your displacement.

Answer: A

Explanation

Here, distance is the total measurement the rider drives from starting to the ending point and back from the ending point to the starting point.

It is given that the rider travels a straight road of 500 m.

The distance d1, in which rider starts from the starting point to the ending point is 500m.

The distance d2, in which rider starts from ending point back to the starting point is 500m. Therefore total distance= d1+d2=500+500= 1000m.

Displacement, the shortest distance from the initial (here starting point) to final (ends at starting point) position of the rider. Therefore the displacement, in this case, = 0m.

So distance-1000m>displacement-0m.

Answer:

C-less than

Explanation:

Distance is total distance traveled (1000m here if you stop where you started).

Displacement is your final distance from where you started (0m if you stop where you started).

0m<1000m

If the range of a projectile's trajectory is six times larger than the height of the trajectory, then what was the angle of laun
zvonat [6]

Answer:

H = 1/2 g t^2    where t is time to fall a height H

H = 1/8 g T^2   where T is total time in air  (2 t  = T)

R = V T cos θ       horizontal range

3/4 g T^2 = V T cos θ       6 H = R    given in problem

cos θ = 3 g T / (4 V)           (I)

Now t = V sin θ / g     time for projectile to fall from max height

T = 2 V sin θ / g

T / V = 2 sin θ / g

cos θ = 3 g / 4 (T / V)     from (I)

cos θ = 3 g / 4 * 2 sin V / g = 6 / 4 sin θ

tan θ = 2/3      

θ = 33.7 deg

As a check- let V = 100 m/s

Vx = 100 cos 33.7 = 83,2

Vy = 100 sin 33,7 = 55.5

T = 2 * 55.5 / 9.8 = 11.3 sec

H = 1/2 * 9.8 * (11.3 / 2)^2 = 156

R = 83.2 * 11.3 = 932

R / H = 932 / 156 = 5.97        6 within rounding

To determine the height of a bridge above the water, a person drops a stone and measures the time it takes for it to hit the wat
myrzilka [38]

The stone will take 2.89 seconds to hit the water.

The time required by the stone to hit the water is calculated by the second equaiton of motion

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

41=0×t+\frac{1}{2}×9.81×t²

t=2.89 seconds

How could rescue workers use squeezing or compressing to get energy to their flashlights during rescue missions?
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

They can do this with the help of mechanical power generated from the human muscle.

Explanation:

Since rescue workers engage in missions where it is usually difficult for them to get electrical energy to their devices and working tools, they could employ various materials that can be sourced around them to get energy to their tools. One of such is the mechanical power generated from the human body through squeezing and compressing.

Some green devices such as the dyno torch have been designed to be powered through this method. Repeated squeezing of its flywheel allows light to be generated.
