two cars start at the same point and drive in a straight line for 5km. At the end of the drive their distances are the same but

their displacements are different. Explain how this could happen. Illustrate with a diagram.

A 'displacement' always consists of a magnitude and a direction.  The two cars you just described have displacements with the same magnitude ... 5 km.  But if they didn't both drive in the same direction, then their displacements are different.

Remember:

-- 10 m/s² up and 10 m/s² down are different accelerations

-- 30 mph East and 30 mph West are the same speed but different velocity.

-- 5 km North and 5 km South are the same distance but different displacement.

1. A big league hitter attacks a fastball! The ball has a mass of 0.16 kg. It is pitched at 38 m/s. After the player hits the ba
MariettaO [177]
Momentum = (mass) x (velocity)

Original momentum before the hit =

                   (0.16 kg) x (38 m/s) this way <==

               =             6.08 kg-m/s  this way <==

Momentum after the hit =

                   (0.16) x (44 m/s) that way  ==>

               =           7.04 kg-m/s  that way ==>

Change in momentum = (6.08 + 7.04) =  13.12 kg-m/s  that way ==> .
-----------------------------------------------

Change in momentum = impulse.

                                   Impulse = (force) x (time the force lasted)

                          13.12 kg-m/s  = (force) x (0.002 sec)

  (13.12 kg-m/s) / (0.002 sec)  =  Force

             6,560 kg-m/s² = 6,560 Newtons  =  Force
