Measure if how far an object has moved.

Physics

djyliett [7]3 years ago

You can't really measure how far an object has moved. If you weren't
watching it the whole time, you can only measure how far it <em>IS</em> now from
where it started, but you don't know what route it traveled to get there.

The distance between where it started and where it ended up is called
the object's "displacement".  That's the length of the straight line between
those two points.  And it's also the shortest possible distance the object
could have moved in order to get to where it is now.

Funny thing:  When you walk all the way around a yard, a track, or a building,
or drive a car one lap around the track, your <em>displacement</em> is zero, because
you end up in the same place you started from, and the distance is zero.
If somebody saw you before and after, but didn't see you walk or drive,
they wouldn't know that you had moved at all.

What is the tangent function used to find and what are its units
Verizon [17]
The functions of angles are used to find unknown lengths or angles that can't be measured, in terms of known quantities. The trig functions of angles are ratios of lengths, so they're bare naked numbers without units.

A driver traveling at 30.0 m/s presses the brakes decelerates at -8.80 m/s^2. How much time, in second, does it take her to come
Kruka [31]

Answer:

It takes her 3.409 seconds to make a full stop.

Explanation:

The time it takes to make a full stop can be determined by the equation of velocity for a Uniformly Accelerated Rectilinear Motion:

v_{f} = v_{i} + at  (1)

Where v_{f} is the final velocity, v_{i} is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

Equation (1) can be rewritten in terms of t:

v_{f} - v_{i} = at    

t = \frac{v_{f} - v_{i}}{a}  (2)  

For this particular case the final velocity will be equal to zero (v_{f} = 0):

t = \frac{0 m/s - 30.0 m/s}{-8.80 m/s^{2}}

t = 3.409 s

So it takes her 3.409 seconds to make a full stop.
