The answer is D. If you aren't consistent with your drop positions, then your data may be invalid. To be frank: it basically screws over the experiment.
The moon lacks an atmosphere compared to the Earth. Hope this helps!
1. Answer: Option C
Displacement is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude as well as direction. Hence, it can be positive, zero or negative. In the given question, downward direction is taken as negative. This we have come to know from the downward acceleration
. The negative sign indicates that downward direction is considered negative.
Now, since the object is dropped from the top. The displacement should be negative, because the negative represent a downward direction.
2. Answer: velocity
The truck is travelling at 30 mph to the west. From the unit mph (miles per hour), we know its a magnitude of velocity. West indicates the direction. Hence, the given quantity is a vector -velocity.
It is not speed because speed only indicates the magnitude and not the direction. speed is a scalar quantity.
“a point representing the mean position of the matter in a body or system.”
Answer:
1199 miles
Explanation:
1 hour 30 minutes = 1 + 30/60 = 1.5 hours
2 hours 15 minutes = 2 + 15/60 = 2.25 hours
The distance she flew in the 1st segment is:
1.5*345 = 517.5 miles
The distance she flew in the 2nd segment is:
2.25 * 345 = 776.25 miles
Since the 2nd segment is 45 degree with respect to the 1st segment, this means that she has flown
776.25 * cos(45) = 549 miles in-line with the 1st segment and
776.25* sin(45) = 549 miles perpendicular to the 1st segment:
So the distance from the end to her starting position is
