for a body moving in a straight line / its distance and displacement can be same. justify with an example?

1 answer:

6 0

The distance of an object is the total distance it travels, while the displacement of the object is how far away the object is from the starting point.

Because the body is moving in a STRAIGHT line, that means it does not change directions, therefore when the body gets to the destination, the total distance will be the same as the displacement. If the body were to change directions, then the magnitude of the vectors will need to be added up and calculated.

For example, let's say you are walking to your friends house directly across the street from your house. All you need to do is walk in a strsight line from the front of your house and you will get to your friends house. The distance and displacement will be the same.

Now if your friend lived right across the street, but 5 houses down, and you cross the street directly from your house then turn in another direction and walk straight, then the distance in this case will quite likely be greater than the displacement because the displacement is the distance from your house to your friends house when measured diagonally.

Racial equality directed to a scenario in which individuals of all races and ethnicities exists treated equally, regardless of any differences in physical characteristics.

<h3>What is meant by racial equality? </h3>

Racial equality occurs when organizations, like schools, give people of all races equal chances regardless of their physical characteristics, such skin color. It has always been difficult for ethnic minorities to achieve equality, especially in educational institutions.

According to research, black pupils face fewer expectations from their teachers and are more likely to be suspended or expelled than white students. They are also less likely to be enrolled in gifted programs.

The term "racial equality" describes a situation in which people of all races and ethnicities are treated equally, regardless of any physical distinctions. Racial equality occurs when institutions uphold people's moral, legal, and political rights.

A tin can collapses if all air inside it is taken out why

Veseljchak [2.6K]

That only happens when the tin can is IN air.

In the familiar, comfy part of Earth's atmosphere where we live, the normal pressure of air is around 14.6 pounds on every square inch of everything. That's a big part of the reason why we're built with bodies that generate that same amount of pressure on the INSIDE pressing OUT. That way, we always have the same pressure pushing in both directions, so we know that we won't get crushed or blow up like balloons.

But we have to be careful with our bodies or other things when they're in places where the atmospheric pressure on the outside is NOT normal.

-- When a deep-sea diver goes hundreds of feet down in the ocean, and the pressure of the water is much GREATER than normal air.

-- When an astronaut has to go outside ... where there's NO air ... and fix something on the International Space Station.

When the pressure on the outside becomes very unusual, we have to wear special suits to protect our bodies from the unusual conditions.

The tin can in the story is a lot like our bodies. As long as it has air inside and air outside, the pressure is the same in both directions, so there's no particular force trying to deform the can. But ...

-- If you seal the can with the air inside it, take the can into a vacuum chamber, and pump the air out of the vacuum chamber, then the can only has pressure inside. It'll expand, and eventually spring a little hole in the metal, and all the air inside will blow out.

-- If you take all the air OUT of the can (so the can is REALLY 'empty'), then the pressure on it is all from the outside. In that situation, the can simply collapses, because there's nothing inside to provide pressure in the outward direction.

One more little thing to think about:

When you want some toothpaste to come drizzling out of the tube onto your brush, what do you do ? Do you perhaps squeeze the tube, and increase the pressure on the outside ?

Betty weighs 400 N and she is sitting on a playground swing seat that hangs 0.21 m above the ground. Tom pulls the swing back an

disa [49]

Answer:

4.15 m/s

Explanation:

As the total energy must be conserved (neglecting air resistance) the change in gravitational potential energy, must be equal to the change in kinetic energy:

ΔE = ΔK + ΔU =0

If we take as a zero reference level for the gravitational potential energy, the height of the swing seat above the ground, (which is equal to 0.21 m), we can find the initial gravitational energy, considering the height of the point where the seat is released, regarding this point:

h₀ = 1.09 m -0.21 m = 0.88 m

⇒ U₀ = m*g*h₀ = 400 N*0.88 m = 352 J

As Uf = 0, ΔU = Uf -U₀ = -352 J

As the swing starts from rest, K₀=0, so we can say:

ΔK = Kf = $\frac{1}{2} *m*vf^{2}$ (1)

As ΔK = -ΔU ⇒ ΔK = 352 J (2)

From (1) and (2) we can solve for vf, as follows:

$vf = \sqrt{\frac{2*352J}{40.8kg}} = 4.15 m/s$

So, when the swing passes through its lowest position, Betty moves at 4.15 m/s.
