Write the difference between distance and displacement

1 answer:

7 0

In order to determine distancetraveled, you must measure the length of the entire path taken by the object. ... Distance is a scalar quantity. Displacement is an object's change in position, only measuring from its starting position to the final position.

The answer and how to do it

Arturiano [62]

Current = charge per second
2 Coulombs per second = 2 Amperes

Potential difference = (current)x(resistance) in volts.

That's (2 Amperes) x (2 ohms).

That's how to do it.
I think you can find the answer now.

A certain type of bird lives in two regions of a state. The distribution of weight for birds of this type in the northern region

Annette [7]

Answer: (a) Z-score are 1 and -1.2 for northern and southern regions, respectively.

Explanation: Z-score is how many standard deviations a data is from the population mean or how far a data point is from the mean.

The z-score is calculated by the following:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

where

x is the data point

μ is population mean

σ is standard deviation

For the northern region birds:

μ = 10, σ = 3, x = 13

$z=\frac{13-10}{3}$

z = 1

The z-score for birds living in the northern region is 1, which means it is 1 standard deviation above the mean.

For the southern region:

μ = 16, σ = 2.5, x = 13

$z=\frac{13-16}{2.5}$

z = -1.2

The z-score for southern living birds is -1.2, meaning it is 1.2 standard deviations below the mean.

Answer:

ma= ma

m⋅a = m⋅a

And equivalently:

am=ma

a⋅m = m⋅a

Explanation:

Question

Assuming this question "Similar to what you see in your textbook, you can generally omit the multiplication symbol as you answer questions online, except when the symbol is needed to make your meaning clear. For example, 1*10^5 is not the same as 110^5 . When you need to be explicit, type * (Shift + 8) to insert the multiplication operator. You will see a multiplication dot (⋅) appear in the answer box. Do not use the symbol x. For example, for the expression ma,

typing m⋅a would be correct, but mxa would be incorrect".

Solution to the problem

For this case we want to write a expression for ma, and based on the previous info we can write:

ma= ma

m⋅a = m⋅a

And equivalently:

am=ma

a⋅m = m⋅a

But is not correct do this:

mxa=mxa

axm = mxa

Can someone answer these

LenKa [72]

Four

Sometimes I think the creators of problems out to drawn and quartered. 60 g does not mean 60 grams. It means 60 * the acceleration due to gravity.

So the question really reads. The acceleration delivered by the air bag is 60 times that of a normal gravitational. This acceleration is delivered to the person where his mass is putting up a whole lot of resistance because he and his 75 kg are moving forward with the impact of the car. The 36 msec. has nothing to do with the problem.

The Force of the Air Bag is mass * a

F_airbag = mass * acceleration = 75 kg * 60 * 9.81 mass * acceleration = 44145 newtons

The answer is 4.41 * 10^4

Answer C

Five

This problem is governed by one formula that you sort of have to get out of your hat -- a piece of magic if you will.

Fg - Bf = m * a

Fg = the Force of gravity

Bf = the braking force

The mass of the rocket is derived from its weight

The acceleration is derived from one of your big 4 equations.

m of the rocket = 75600 / 9.81 = 7706 kg

The acceleration =

vi = 1 km/s = 1000 m/s

vf = 0

t = 2 minute * 60 sec/ min = 120 seconds

a = (vf - vi)/t = (0 - 1000 m/s) / 120 sec

a = - 8.333 m/s^2 The minus sign makes perfect sense. Remember the rocket is slowing down

The net downward force = mass * acceleration = - 7706 kg * - 8.333 m/s^2

The net force = - 64217 N

So going back to the problem's equation we have

Gravitational force - Braking Force = Net Force

Gravitational Force = 75600

Net Force = - 64217

Bracking force = ?

75600 - Bracking force = - 64217 Subtract 75600 from both sides

- Bracking force = - 64217 - 75600

- Braking force = - 139817

Braking force = 139817 N = 1.398 * 10^5 N

Braking Force = 1.4 * 10^5

Answer: Last One.

Six

The first thing you should do is derive a general formula for this problem.

The force pulling both masses down is M*g where g is the acceleration due to gravity.

The formula for this problem is

Mg = (m + M) * a

Now you need to solve for a

a = [M/(M + m) ] * g

Look what is happening. is a smaller or larger than g? This is a question you should really pay attention to. If it was larger, everyone would have this system in their basement because you'd get more energy output than you put in. Something for nothing is always appealing.

So what's the answer? (I get to ask it. No one posing the question ever should).

A is incorrect. M never goes away. The acceleration may get very tiny, but there always is some acceleration.

B must be true. It is just what I finished saying about A

C Who said anything about velocity? It's a red herring. If the velocity became 0 the acceleration would have to turn minus. This answer sounds good, but sounds good doesn't make it right. C is wrong.

D The acceleration does not remain constant no matter what. The answer to A still applies. So D is wrong.
