Explanation:
(a) Displacement of an object is the shortest path covered by it.
In this problem, a student is biking to school. She travels 0.7 km north, then realizes something has fallen out of her bag. She travels 0.3 km south to retrieve her item. She then travels 0.4 mi north to arrive at school.
0.4 miles = 0.64 km
displacement = 0.7-0.3+0.64 = 1.04 km
(b) Average velocity = total displacement/total time
t = 15 min = 0.25 hour
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
F=5449 N
Explanation:
Work done is a product of force and displacement ie
Work done, W, = Force*Displacement
Power, P, is Work done/Time
where P is power, W is work done, F is force, S is displacement and t is time
In this case, F is the frictional force. Converting the power from hp to W, we multiply by 746 hence P=746*168=125328 W
Since displacement/time is velocity, then
P=FV where V is velocity in m/s
Making F the subject
F=5449 N
