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.

Answer:

t=4.04s

Explanation:

A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated movement", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are as follows.

Vf=Vo+a.t  (1)\\\\

{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X(2)\\\\

X=Xo+ VoT+0.5at^{2}    (3)\\

X=(Vf+Vo)T/2 (4)

Where

Vf = final speed

Vo = Initial speed

T = time

A = acceleration

X = displacement

In conclusion to solve any problem related to a body that moves with constant acceleration we use the 3 above equations and use algebra to solve

to solve this problem we can use the ecuation number 1

Vf=33m/s

Vo=0m/s, ( the cheetah starts from rest, although the gazelle is moving=

a=8.15m/s^2)

Vf=Vo+at

t=(Vf-Vo)/a

t=(33-0)/8.15

t=4.04s

Answer:

Because water mixes with the dirt when it rains to make that mud when the mud is left in the sun, the sun <em>Evaporates</em><em> </em>that water, and eventualy it will turn into sand.

Explain how the diffraction of light shows that light behaves like a wave.
wolverine [178]

Answer: Particles cannot bend around the edges of an obstacle, as light waves does.

Explanation:

Diffraction happens when a wave (mechanical or electromagnetic wave) meets an obstacle or a slit .When this occurs, the wave bends around the edges of the obstacle or passes through the opening of the slit that acts as an obstacle, forming multiple patterns with the shape of the aperture of the slit.

Note this phenomenon is a characteristic of waves behaviour and not particles, because <u>particles cannot bend around the edges of an obstacle</u>, as waves (light waves in this case) does.

Aliun [14]

Answer:

The study of matter and energy, and the relationship between matter and energy

Explanation:

Physical science is natural science studies( in chemistry, geology, physics,astronomy) that focus on non-living materials and natural forces.The non-living systems are mainly the inorganic world.Here the properties of matter and energy in non-living forms are investigated with their connection with nature.
