Answer:

The distance moved is 9 meters

The magnitude of the displacement is 2.4 meters

The direction of the displacement is northward

Explanation:

- <em><u>Distance</u></em> is the length of the actual path between the initial and the

  final position. Distance is a scalar quantity

- <u><em>Displacement</em></u> is the change in position, measuring from its starting

  position to the final position. Displacement is a vector quantity

The quarterback pedals 3.3 meters southward

That means it moves down 3.3 meters

Then runs 5.7 meters northward

That means it runs up 5.7 meters

The distance = 3.3 + 5.7 = 9 meters

<em></em>

<em>The distance moved is 9 meters</em>

It moves southward (down) for 3.3 meters and then moves northward

(up) for 5.7

It moves from zero to 3.3 down and then moves up to 5.7

The displacement = 5.7 - 3.3 = 2.4 meters northward

<em />

<em>The magnitude of the displacement is 2.4 meters</em>

<em>The direction of the displacement is northward</em>

Calculate the amount of air in a room 6m long, 5m wide and 3mm high.​
sattari [20]

Answer:

0.09kg of air

Explanation:

The dimensions of the room are given

change the height to meters by dividing it by thousand.

For the volume multiplying the length,width and height (all should be in the same unit most suitable being meters).

Volume refers to the amount of space inside a box or a object.

The amount of air is equal to the volume.

If an object falling freely were somehow equipped with an odometer to measure the distance it travels, then the amount of distan
ioda

Answer:c

Explanation:

Given

object is falling Freely with an odometer

Suppose it falls with zero initial velocity

so distance fallen in time t is given by

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

here u=0 and t=time taken

h=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

for t=1 s

h_1=\frac{1}{2}g

for t=2 s

h_2=\frac{1}{2}g(2)^2=\frac{4}{2}g=2g

distance traveled in 2 nd sec=2g-\frac{1}{2}g=\frac{3}{2}g

for t=3 s

h_3=\frac{1}{2}g(3)^2=\frac{9}{2}g

distance traveled in 3 rd sec=\frac{9}{2}g-2g=\frac{5}{2}g

so we can see that distance traveled in each successive second is increasing

The driver of a car travels at 90 km / h, observes some children playing on the road 50 m away, and applies the brakes, managing
Orlov [11]

Answer:

13,750 N

Yes

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 90 km/h = 25 m/s

v = 0 m/s

t = 4 s

Find: a and Δx

a = Δv / Δt

a = (0 m/s − 25 m/s) / (4 s)

a = -6.25 m/s²

F = ma

F = (2200 kg) (-6.25 m/s²)

F = -13,750 N

Δx = ½ (v + v₀) t

Δx = ½ (0 m/s + 25 m/s) (4 s)

Δx = 50 m
