Answer:

Explanation:

In the calculation of distance we do not take into account the direction of movement .So only magnitude of movement is taken care of.

On the other hand , in respect of displacement , we take into account even direction of movement along with magnitude.

Distance covered by flea = 45 - 27 = 18 cm

Displacement by flea = 27 - 45 = - 18 cm

Speed = Distance covered / time

= 18 / 3 = 6 cm / s

Velocity = - 18 / 3 = - 6 cm /s.

Natasha2012 [34]

Explanation:

a. Net force is mass times acceleration (Newton's second law).

∑F = ma

∑F = (5.0 kg) (2.0 m/s²)

∑F = 10 N

b. The net force is the sum of the individual forces.

10 N = F − 5 N

F = 15 N

c. Friction force here is mgμ.

mgμ = 5 N

(5.0 kg) (10 m/s) μ = 5 N

μ = 0.1
