Answer:
<em>The distance is 35 m and the magnitude of the displacement is 26.93 m</em>
Explanation:
<u>Displacement and Distance</u>
These are two related concepts. A moving object constantly travels for some distance at defined periods of time. The total distance is the sum of each individual distance the object traveled. It can be written as:
dtotal=d1+d2+d3+...+dn
This sum is calculated independently of the direction the object moves.
The displacement only takes into consideration the initial and final positions of the object. The displacement, unlike distance, is a vectorial magnitude and can even have magnitude zero if the object starts and ends the movement at the same point.
Taylor walks 25 m north and 10 m west. The total distance is the sum of both numbers:
d = 25 m + 10 m = 35 m
To calculate the displacement, we need to know the final position with respect to the initial position. If we set the coordinates of Taylor's car as the origin (0,0), then his final position is (-10,25), assuming the west direction is negative and the north direction is positive.
The magnitude of the displacement is the distance from (0,0) to (-10,25):
D = 26.93 m
The distance is 35 m and the magnitude of the displacement is 26.93 m
The momentum of the red cart before the collision is 0.2 kgm/s and the blue cart is 0.
The momentum of the red cart after the collision is 0.05 kgm/s and the blue cart is 0.15 kgm/s.
The change in momentum of the system of the carts is 0.
<h3>Initial momentum of the carts before collision</h3>The momentum of the carts before the collision is calculated as follows;
P(red) = 0.5 kg x 0.4 m/s = 0.2 kgm/s
P(blue) = 1.5 x 0 = 0
<h3>Momentum of the carts after collision</h3>The momentum of the carts after the collision is calculated as follows;
P(red) = 0.5 x 0.1 = 0.05 kgm/s
P(blue) = 1.5 0.1 = 0.15 kgm/s
<h3>Change in momentum of the carts</h3>ΔP = (0.05 + 0.15) - (0.2)
ΔP = 0
