Answer:

yes, though the speed may stay constant, the direction will change. so for example, you're going 70mph on the freeway, but you have to take the exit on your right (the exit continues on to a different freeway), you're not going to speed up or slow down, you'll change your direction which is still accelerating.

Complete Question

A football coach walks 18 meters westward, then 12 meters eastward, then 28 meters westward, and finally 14 meters eastward.

From this motion what is the distance covered

What is the magnitude and direction of the displacement

Answer:

$D = 72 \ m$

Magnitude

$d = - 20 \ m$

Direction

West

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first distance covered westward is $d_w_1 = 18 \ m /tex] The first distance covered eastward is [tex]d_e1 = 12 \ m /tex] The second distance covered westward is [tex]d_w_2 = 28 \ m /tex] The second distance covered eastward is [tex]d_e2 = 14 \ m /tex] Generally the distance covered is mathematically represented as [tex]D = d_w1 + d_w2 + d_e1 + d_e2$

=> $D = 18 + 28 + 12 + 14$

=> $D = 72 \ m$

For the second question eastward is in the direction of the positive x-axis so it would be positive and westward is in the direction of the negative x-axis so it would be negative

The magnitude of the displacement is

$d = -d_w1 -d_w2 + d_e1 + d_e2$
