Typically no. Displacement can be in multiple directions as a vector. of something is traveling only along x, then it would be true though this is usually not the case.

Displacement is the distance and direction from the start point to the end point.

If the motion starts and stops on the x-axis, then the displacement is equal to delta-x toward either the left or the right. But that would be rare and unusual.

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

350 ft/s²

Explanation:

First, convert mph to ft/s.

58 mi/hr × (5280 ft/mi) × (1 hr / 3600 s) = 85.1 ft/s

Given:

v₀ = 85.1 ft/s

v = 0 ft/s

t = 0.24 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

a = (v − v₀) / t

a = (0 ft/s − 85.1 ft/s) / 0.24 s

a = -354 ft/s²

Rounded to two significant figures, the magnitude of the acceleration is 350 ft/s².

A certain resistor dissipates 0.5 W when connected to a 3 V potential difference. When connected to a 1 V potential difference,
Stels [109]

Answer:

<h2>0.056 W</h2>

Explanation:

Power = IV

From ohms law we know that

V= IR\\\\I= \frac{V}{R} \\\\Power= \frac{V}{R}*V\\\\Power= \frac{V^2}{R}

Given data

P1 = 0.5 Watt

P2 = ?

V1= 3 Volts

V2= 1 Volt

Thus we can solve for the power dissipated as follows

P1= \frac{V1^2}{R1}\\\\P2= \frac{V2^2}{R2}

\frac{P1}{P2} = \frac{V1^2}{V2^2}\\\\ P2=\frac{ V2^2}{ V1^2} *P1\\\\ P2=\frac{ 1^2}{ 3^2} *0.5= 0.055= 0.056 W

<em>The  resistor will dissipate 0.056 Watt</em>
