The displacement of a moving object is the straight-line distance between the place it starts from and the place where it stops.
The displacement of anything moving along a circular track depends on how far around it goes before it stops. The greatest displacement it can possibly have is the diameter of the track ... 100m on this particular one ... because that's as far apart as two places on a circle can ever be.
The most interesting case is when the object goes around the circle exactly once. Then it stops at the same place it started from, the distance between the starting point and ending point is zero, and after all that motion, the displacement is zero.
Regardless of what direction an object is moving, the acceleration
due to gravity is always directed toward the center of the Earth.
That's the direction commonly known as "down".
Answer:
The force acting on a body is always equal to the product of the mass of the body and its acceleration.
Explanation:
The force of a body is defined as the product of mass and acceleration of the body.
According to Newton's second law, wherever there is a change in momentum of the body for an interval of time, there is a force acting on it.
F = (mv - mu) / t
= m (v -u) /t
= m a
Where,
(v - u)/t - is the change in velocity of the body in the interval of time. It is equal to the acceleration of the body.
Hence, the equation for the force for any body becomes, F = m x a
