Sally started at the starting point.

She walked 10m forward.  So far, she walked 10m, and she was 10m from the starting point.

Then she walked 5m backward.  So far, she walked 15m, but she was only 5m from the starting point.

The distance she walked was 15m.  But her displacement is how far she is from the starting point ... that's only 5m

Displacement = 5 meters

Distance = 15 meters

Displacement is 10m less than distance walked.  <em>(B)</em>


===> If she kept going and walked <u><em>another </em></u>5m backward, she would be back where she started.  The total distance she walked would be 20m, and her displacement would be zero !

An Amtrak going 250m/s comes to a stop in 12s. What is the<br> acceleration?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}  \\a = \frac{0-250}{12} = -20.83 m/s

Explanation:

you mean deceleration right ? because the acceleration is 250m/s

A 2.1 kg block is dropped from rest from a height of 5.5 m above the top of the spring. When the block is momentarily at rest, t
ella [17]

Answer:

The speed of the block is 8.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of block, m = 2.1 kg

height above the top of the spring, h = 5.5 m

First, we determine the spring constant based on the principle of conservation of potential energy

¹/₂Kx² = mg(h +x)

¹/₂K(0.25)² = 2.1 x 9.8(5.5 +0.25)

0.03125K = 118.335

K = 118.335 / 0.03125

K = 3786.72 N/m

Total energy stored in the block at rest is only potential energy given as:

E = U = mgh

U = 2.1 x 9.8 x 5.5 = 113.19 J

Work done in compressing the spring to 15.0 cm:

W = ¹/₂Kx² = ¹/₂ (3786.72)(0.15)² = 42.6 J

This is equal to elastic potential energy stored in the spring,

Then, kinetic energy of the spring is given as:

K.E = E - W

K.E = 113.19 J - 42.6 J

K.E = 70.59 J

To determine the speed of the block due to this energy:

KE =  ¹/₂mv²

70.59 =  ¹/₂ x 2.1 x v²

70.59 = 1.05v²

v² = 70.59 / 1.05

v² = 67.229

v = √67.229

v = 8.2 m/s

hoa [83]

Answer:

Squids = 450 - 490 nm (Moderate Frequency) (Blue)

Bees = 300 - 650 nm (Lower Frequency Bands)

Frogs = 280 - 580 nm (Very Low Frequency)

Explanation:

All of the above mentioned ranges are compared to that of humans.

I'm just surprised a little bit in the imagination that how these organisms see the world through their unique eyes. On the other hands, they are evolved like this just like we do so that may not be surprising enough. SIKE
