She leaves her campsite and runs north for 10 miles turns east and runs 8 miles then turns south and runs 2 miles.whats her dist
1 answer:
The distance is 20 miles
Explanation:
Definitions:
- Distance is the total length of the path covered by an object during its motion, regardless of the direction of its motion
- Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final position of the motion, so it also takes into account the direction of motion
In this problem, we want to know the distance covered by the woman. The motion consists of the following parts:
north
east
south
To find the distance, we just have to add the length of each path, ignoring the direction. Therefore:

Answer:
Yes, if the system has friction, the final result is affected by the loss of energy.
Explanation:
The result that you are showing is the conservation of mechanical energy between two points in the upper one, the energy is only potential and the lower one is only kinetic.
In the case of some type of friction, the change in energy between the same points is equal to the work of the friction forces
= ΔEm
=
-Em₀
As we can see now there is another quantity and for which the final energy is lower and therefore the final speed would be less than what you found in the case without friction.
=
+ Em₀
Remember that the work of the rubbing force is negative, let's write the work of the rubbing force explicitly, to make it clearer
½ m v² = -fr d + mgh
v = √(-fr d 2/m + 2 gh)
v = √ (2gh - 2fr d/m)
Now it is clear that there is a decrease in the final body speed.
Consequently, if the system has friction, the final result is affected by the loss of energy.
