Given :

Steve walks from his house 5 km South then turns east and walks 2 km. Then he walks 9 km North to his older sister's house. She gives him a ride to his friend Fred's house 2 km West.

To Find :

The total distance covered by Steve .

Solution :

We know , distance is the actual measurement space between two points .

Now , total distance travelled by Steve is the sum of all distance travelled .

T=5+2+9+2\\\\T=18\ km

So , total distance covered by Steve is 18 km .

Hence , this is the required solution .

A boy throws a ball up into the air with a speed of 8.2 m/s. The ball has a mass of 0.3 kg. How much gravitational potential ene

We can use the law of conservation of energy to solve the problem.

The total mechanical energy of the system at any moment of the motion is:
E=U+K = mgh + \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where U is the potential energy and K the kinetic energy.

At the beginning of the motion, the ball starts from the ground so its altitude is h=0 and therefore its potential energy U is zero. So, the mechanical energy is just kinetic energy:
E_i = K_i =  \frac{1}{2}mv^2 =  \frac{1}{2}(0.3 kg)(8.2 m/s)^2=10.09 J

When the ball reaches the maximum altitude of its flight, it starts to go down again, so its speed at that moment is zero: v=0. So, its kinetic energy at the top is zero. So the total mechanical energy is just potential energy:
E_f = U_f
But the mechanical energy must be conserved, Ef=Ei, so we have
U_f = K_i
and so, the potential energy at the top of the flight is
U_f = K_i = 10.09 J
