Jason rides his bicycle 1,200 meters east to the grocery store. He then turns around and travels 760 meters west to meet his fri

end. What are his total distance and his displacement?

Since displacement is a vector quantity, it depends on direction as well as magnitude.

Taking displacement towards east as positive and towards west as negative,
Total displacement = 1200 + (-760) = 440 meters. 

Since distance is a scalar quantity, it depends only upon magnitude.
Total distance = 1200 + 760 = 1960 meters. 

Hope this cleared your doubt, feel free to ask any questions regarding this and have a nice day ahead! :)

Robin Hood wishes to split an arrow already in the bull's-eye of a target 40 m away.
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

5.843 m

Explanation:

suppose that the arrow leave the bow with a horizontal speed , towards he bull's eye.

lets consider that horizontal motion

distance = speed * time

time = 40/ 37 = 1.081 s

arrow doesnot have a initial vertical velocity component. but it has a vertical motion due to gravity , which may cause a miss of the target.

applying motion equation

(assume g = 10 m/s²)

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}*gt^{2}  \\= 0+\frac{1}{2}*10*1.081^{2}\\= 5.843 m

Arrow misses the target by 5.843m ig the arrow us split horizontally

It doesn't mean that the climate is changing, it is probably just the morning dew.

What is the difference between: first moment of area and second moment of area?
zhannawk [14.2K]
To determine the centroid of the object first moment of area is used.

To predict the resistance of a shape to bending and deflection which are directly proportional, second moment of area is used.
