Answer:

<h2><em>Distance</em></h2>

<em>The </em><em>length</em><em> </em><em>of </em><em>the </em><em>actual </em><em>path </em><em>travelled by </em><em>a </em><em>body </em><em>is </em><em>called </em><em>distance </em><em>travelled </em><em>by </em><em>a </em><em>body.It </em><em>is </em><em>a </em><em>scalar </em><em>Quantity.</em><em>I</em><em>t</em><em> </em><em>is </em><em>measured</em><em> </em><em>in </em><em>meter(</em><em>m)</em><em> </em><em>in </em><em>SI </em><em>system.</em>

<h2><em>Displacement</em></h2>

<em>The </em><em>shortest </em><em>distance</em><em> </em><em>from </em><em>initial </em><em>position</em><em> </em><em>to </em><em>the </em><em>final </em><em>position</em><em> </em><em>of </em><em>a </em><em>body </em><em>is </em><em>called </em><em>displacement</em><em> </em><em>of </em><em>the </em><em>body.It </em><em>is </em><em>a </em><em>vector</em><em> </em><em>Quantity.</em><em>I</em><em>t</em><em> </em><em> </em><em>is </em><em>measured</em><em> </em><em>in </em><em>meter(</em><em>m)</em><em> </em><em>in </em><em>SI </em><em>system.</em><em>.</em>

<em>Please </em><em>see </em><em>the </em><em>attached </em><em>picture.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em>

<em>It </em><em>is </em><em>the </em><em>example </em><em>of </em><em>distance </em><em>and </em><em>displacement.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>.</em>

If a 40 kg gymnast and a 400 kg sumo wrestler each dropped from 1 m above the trampoline, find the final position of each athlet
Tomtit [17]
When you drop an object from some height on the spring objects initial potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, this kinetic energy is then used to compress the spring. Once all the energy is used the spring stops compressing and starts oscillating. 
We need to find how much the spring compressed in both cases.
From the above analysis, we can conclude that potential energy in the gravitational field has to be equal to the potential energy of compressed spring.
mgh=\frac{1}{2}kx^2
We solve for x (in our case h=1):
mg=\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\&#10;x^2=\frac{2mg}{k}\\&#10;x=\sqrt{\frac{2mg}{k}}
Now we just have to plug in the numbers:
$$Sumo\ wrestler(m=400kg):x=\sqrt{\frac{2mg}{k}}=0.81m\\&#10;
$$ Gymnast(m=40kg):x=\sqrt{\frac{2mg}{k}}=0.26m\\

How long would it take for a rock falling 97.2 m/s to reach the ground from 100 meters
mote1985 [20]

Answer;

velocity(v) = 97.2 m/s ,

distance (S) = 100 m

determine time(t) = ?

  We know that,

               distance (S) = velocity(v) × time(t)

           So,      time (t) = distance ÷ velocity

                                   = 100 ÷ 97.2

                              <em>   t = 1.02 sec.</em>

<em>I hope this will help you.</em>

At the start of a basketball game, a referee tosses a basketball straight into the air by giving it some initial speed. After be
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

0.32 m.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we must recognise that:

1. At the maximum height, the velocity of the ball is zero.

2. When the velocity of the ball is 2.5 m/s above the ground, it is assumed that the potential energy and kinetic energy of the ball are the same.

With the above information in mind, we shall determine the height of the ball when it has a speed of 2.5 m/s. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = constant

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Velocity (v) = 2.5 m/s

Height (h) =?

PE = KE

Recall:

PE = mgh

KE = ½mv²

Thus,

PE = KE

mgh = ½mv²

Cancel m from both side

gh = ½v²

9.8 × h = ½ × 2.5²

9.8 × h = ½ × 6.25

9.8 × h = 3.125

Divide both side by 9.8

h = 3.125 / 9.8

h = 0.32 m

Thus, the height of the ball when it has a speed of 2.5 m/s is 0.32 m.

An offshore oil well is 2 kilometers off the coast. The refinery is 4 kilometers down the coast. Laying pipe in the ocean is twi
shusha [124]

Answer:

Rectangular path

Solution:

As per the question:

Length, a = 4 km

Height, h = 2 km

In order to minimize the cost let us denote the side of the square bottom be 'a'

Thus the area of the bottom of the square, A = a^{2}

Let the height of the bin be 'h'

Therefore the total area, A_{t} = 4ah

The cost is:

C = 2sh

Volume of the box, V = a^{2}h = 4^{2}\times 2 = 128            (1)

Total cost, C_{t} = 2a^{2} + 2ah            (2)

From eqn (1):

h = \frac{128}{a^{2}}

Using the above value in eqn (1):

C(a) = 2a^{2} + 2a\frac{128}{a^{2}} = 2a^{2} + \frac{256}{a}

C(a) = 2a^{2} + \frac{256}{a}

Differentiating the above eqn w.r.t 'a':

C'(a) = 4a - \frac{256}{a^{2}} = \frac{4a^{3} - 256}{a^{2}}

For the required solution equating the above eqn to zero:

\frac{4a^{3} - 256}{a^{2}} = 0

\frac{4a^{3} - 256}{a^{2}} = 0

a = 4

Also

h = \frac{128}{4^{2}} = 8

The path in order to minimize the cost must be a rectangle.
