You walk six blocks east along 12th Street, then three blocks west, then one block east, then six blocks east, then seven blocks

west. Let the x axis point east and have its origin at your starting point. If all blocks are equal in size, what is the x component of your displacement, in blocks?

Displacement depends upon the path taken as it is a vector.

From your problem above we would have a total displacement of;
Defining +x direction as east and -x direction as west

6east-3west+1east+6east-7west

6-3+1+6-7=3 blocks east or + x-direction

So even though they walked a total of 17 blocks it ends up only being 3 blocks total in +xdirection that was travelled by displacement.

Any questions please ask.

An alert driver can apply the brakes fully in about 0.5 seconds. How far would the car travel if it
dybincka [34]

Answer:

The car would travel after applying brakes is, d = 14.53 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The time taken to apply brakes fully is, t = 0.5 s

The velocity of the car, v = 29.06 m/s

The distance traveled by the car in 0.5 s, d = ?

The relation between the velocity, displacement, and time is given by the formula                

                                d = v x t    m

Substituting the values in the above equation,

                                  d = 29.06 m/s x 0.5 s

                                     = 14.53 m

Therefore, the car would travel after applying brakes is, d = 14.53 m
