Hey! I just started AP Physics 1 as well.

Lets break it down:

Displacement is the change in the position of a vector.

Net means total

This means that Net displacement means the addition of displacements. Also said as the "vector sum of the individual displacements".

This is all I know. Good luck!

You have more than 1 vector. When you add them all together as vectors, the net displacement vector is a vector drawn from the arrowhead of the last vector to the non-arrowhead of the first vector. The other responder gave a good description as well. Between us, you have a pretty good definition of what a net displacement vector is.

The LIGHT/DARKcontrol of an automatic toaster is placed at a particular setting. The toast at this setting will always be the sa
hichkok12 [17]
The toast at this setting will always be the same color because the toaster uses a compensating thermostat. Depending on the setting, the compensating thermostat will be used to regulate the heat settings at different amounts of time. In one setting, the compensating thermostat could go on for much longer than the other setting before shutting off.

A 25 kg box on a horizontal frictionless surface is moving to the right at a speed of 5.0 m s. The box hits and remains attached
seropon [69]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done by the spring is negative .

Work done by force F creating displacement  d is given by the following expression .

Work = F x d

Both force and displacement are vector quantity .

When direction of force and direction of displacement is same , work is positive . When direction of force and direction of displacement is opposite , work is negative .

When spring is compressed , it exerts a restoring or opposing force in a direction opposite to the direction of displacement of box . Hence here force is opposite to displacement . Restoring force acts opposite to displacement . Hence work done by spring on box is negative .

solong [7]

Explanation:

When a constant force acts upon an object the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass.

a\propto \dfrac{1}{m}

or

\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{m_2}{m_1}

If m₁ = 21 kg, a₁ = 3 m/s², m₂ = 9 kg

We need to find a₂

So,

a_2=\dfrac{m_1a_1}{m_2}\\\\a_2=\dfrac{21\times 3}{9}\\\\a_2=7\ m/s^2

So, if mass is 9 kg, its acceleration is 7 m/s².
