The displacement of a moving object is the straight-line distance between the place it starts from and the place where it stops.

The displacement of anything moving along a circular track depends on how  far around it goes before it stops.  The greatest displacement it can possibly have is the diameter of the track ... 100m on this particular one ... because that's as far apart as two places on a circle can ever be.

The most interesting case is when the object goes around the circle exactly once.  Then it stops at the same place it started from, the distance between the starting point and ending point is zero, and after all that motion, the displacement is zero.

Answer:

(c) 16 m/s²

Explanation:

The position is r(t) = [3.0 \text{ m} - (4.00 \text{ m/s})t]\hat{i} + [6.0 \text{m} - (8.00 \text{ m/s}^2 )t^2 ]\hat{j}.

The velocity is the first time-derivative of <em>r(t).</em>

<em />v(t) = \dfrac{d}{dt}r(t) = -4.00\,\hat{i} -16t\,\hat{j}<em />

The acceleration is the first time-derivative of the velocity.

a(t) = \dfrac{d}{dt} v(t) = -16\hat{j}

Since <em>a(t)</em> does not have the variable <em>t</em>, it is constant. Hence, at any time,

a = -16\hat{j}

Its magnitude is 16 m/s².

The metals will start to rust lol. i think. because this messes up how the metals conduct the flow of the electricity.

What advantages does an electromagnet have over a permanent magnet?
KonstantinChe [14]
Electromagnets can be turned off, this makes it easier to release things from the magnetic field. 

Hope this helps :)
