Dylan makes 4 laps around the track and returns to his starting point. Compare his distance versus his displacement.

Physics
1 answer:
Nikolay [14]3 years ago
6 0

The distance covered by Dylan is equal to four times the track distance (four laps).

The displacement of Dylan is equal to zero.

Why?

We must remember that distance and displacement are different things.

The displacement refers to the distance between the starting point and the final point, while the distance refers to how much space being covered by an object in motion (in units of distance), no matter if the final point is equal to the initial point.

So,

The distance for this problem is equal to the total distance covered by running/walking four times around the track, or four laps.

The displacement for this problem, is equal to zero since Dylan returned to his starting or initial point.

Have a nice day!

Use the graph above to determine the change in speed of the object between 20 and 30 seconds?
allsm [11]

Answer:

6 m/s

Explanation:

To determine the change in speed of the object, we just need to determine its speed at t = 30 s and at t = 20 s, and then calculate the difference.

The speed at t = 30 is:

v = 6 m/s

While the speed at t = 20 s is:

u = 0

Therefore, the change in speed is:

\Delta v = v-u=6-0 = 6 m/s

The pump in a water tower raises water with a density of rhow = 1.00 kg/liter from a filtered pool at the base of the tower up h
oee [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of the water being lifted per second

m = volume x density

= 6.2 x 1 = 6.2 kg

height by which water being lifted

h = 75 - 21

= 54 m

increase in potential energy of water per second

mgh

6.2 x 9.8 x 54

= 3281.04 J /s

= 3281.04 W.

How long would it take for 1.50 mol of water at 100.0 ∘c to be converted completely into steam if heat were added at a constant
Liula [17]
The total heat that is needed by the water to get converted to steam is calculated below through the equation,

     H = (Hv)(n)

where H is the heat, Hv is the heat of vaporization (40.67 kJ/mol), and n is the number of mols. Substituting the known values,

   H = (40.66 kJ/mol)(1.5 mol) = 60.99 kJ

Calculating for the time,

    t = (60990 J) / (24 J/s)
    t = 2541.25 s

Answer: 2541.25 s or approximately 42.35 minutes

What is the value of g on the surface of saturn? assume msaturn = 5.68×1026 kg and rsaturn = 5.82×107 m?
yKpoI14uk [10]
<span>F = GMm/r^2 but we don't want force we want acceleration. F = ma combining the two ma = GMm/r^2 cancelling m from both sides a = GM/r^2 where G is the universal gravitational constant M is the mass of Saturn and r is the radius of Saturn. g(Saturn) = a = (6.67x10^-11m^3kg^-1s^-2)(5.68x10^26 kg)/(5.82x10^7m)^2 g = 11.18 m/s^2 round to 11.2 m/s^2</span>
