south = -(north)

Displacement = (4 km north) + (2 km south) + (5 km north) + (5 km south)

Displacement = (4 km north) - (2 km north) + (5 km north) - (5 km north)

Displacement = (4 - 2 + 5 - 5) km north

<u>Displacement = 2 km north </u>

If you were in a spaceship watching a ball hover at rest (inside the spaceship) in mid-air, and the spaceship suddenly began rap
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

It will still hover until the spaceship "hits" or exerts a force on it.

Explanation:

Remember, if there is no net force, there is no acceleration or movement.

In this case, our ball is hovering in the spaceship, and in space, we can assume there is no F_g, and we can assume there is no F_N, nor no forces acting against it.

So, the ball would not move.

However, once the spaceship starts accelerating, the ball would still hover until the spaceship exerts a force on it.

This is because of the same thing as explained above, no forces acting on it, therefore, no acceleration.

Think about it this way.

Imagine you jumped up, then someone threw a ball at you. Now let's imagine you can't move until you hit the floor, meaning that in an ideal situation only  F_g is acting on you. Now again, let's imagine time slows really down for you, but not the ball. Before the ball comes and hits you, you are "hovering" like a ball. But after the ball hits you, you move a little because the ball exerted a force on you.

If you did not understand what I meant above, just forget about it, and think about the fact that if there is a Net force (all the force values added up), then there is acceleration and movement.

A migrating robin flies due north with a speed of 12 m/s relative to the air. The air moves due east with a speed of 6.3 m/s rel
Sonja [21]

consider east-west direction along X-axis  and north-south direction along Y-axis

V_{ra} = velocity of migrating robin relative to air = 12 j m/s

(where "j" is unit vector in Y-direction)

V_{ag} = velocity of air relative to ground = 6.3 i m/s

(where "i" is unit vector in X-direction)

V_{rg} = velocity of migrating robin relative to ground = ?

using the equation

V_{rg} = V_{ra} + V_{ag}

V_{rg} = 12 j + 6.3 i

V_{rg} = 6.3 i + 12 j

magnitude : sqrt((6.3)² + (12)²) = 13.6 m/s

direction : tan⁻¹(12/6.3) = 62.3 deg north of east

A flea walking along a ruler moves from the 45 cm mark to the 27 cm mark. It does this in 3 seconds. What is the speed? What is
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Speed= 6cm/s and velocity= 6cm/s in the negative direction

Explanation:

the change in position is from 45cm to 27 cm (moving towards the negative x direction)

\Delta x = 45 cm - 27 cm = 18 cm

And the change in time:

\Delta t= 3 s

Now we must define the difference between speed and velocity:

Speed is a scalar quantity, which means that it is a number. Velocity ​​is also a number but you must also indicate the direction of the movement.

Thus, the speed is:

speed= \Delta x/ \Delta t = 18cm/3s=6cm/s

An the velocity is:

6cm/s in the negative direction
