A student walks 10meters east down a hallway before realizing she has dropped a book. She turns around and walks 3meters west to

pick it up. She then turns back around and walks 8 more meters east to her classroom. What is the total distance? What is the total displacement?
If in doubt...sketch it out!


The total distance traveled is 8 m

Her displacement was 10 m east



The total distance traveled is 15 m

Her displacement was 3 m east



The total distance traveled is 10 m

Her displacement was 15 m east



The total distance traveled is 21 m

Her displacement was 15 m east

10 – 3 + 8 = 15 meters

10 + 3 + 8 = 21 meters

Her total traveled is 21 meters, displacement is 15 meters.

A motorcycle running on gasoline wastes a large amount of energy mainly as A) heat energy and sound energy. B) light energy and
vlada-n [284]

A motorcycle mainly wastes energy as heat <u>energy</u> and <u>sound</u> energy. In the engine, chemical energy is transformed into mechanical energy. However, the engine is inefficient and much of the chemical energy is lost as heat energy. Also, some of the energy is transformed to sound energy. This explains why the motorcycle is noisy and has an exhaust pipe.

Problems - Show all work.
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

21s

Explanation:

Given parameters;

Radius  = 10m

Speed or velocity  = 3m/s

Unknown:

Period  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, use the expression:

      v  = \frac{2\pi r}{T}  

r is the radius

T is the unknown

           Input the parameters and solve for T;

    3  = \frac{2 x \pi  x 10}{T}  

    62.84 = 3T

         T  = 21s

Two objects must be in contact for them to exert a force on each other. <br><br> True<br> False
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The given statement "Two objects must be in contact for them to exert a force on each other" is not true as there are many types of forces that doesn't require being in contact for exerting a force.

One such example is the gravitational force acting between two bodies. Gravitational force is the force of pull with which a body pulls another body without being in contact.

For two bodies of masses 'M' and 'm' separated at a distance of 'R', the gravitational force is given as:

Force=\frac{GMm}{R^2}\\Where,G\to \textrm{Universal Gravitational constant}

The gravitational force acts always act between bodies that have mass. The bodies are not in contact yet experience force.

Therefore, the given statement is false.
