The object is moving, so at different times, it has different displacement. I'm guessing that you probably want to know the displacement at the end of the time on the graph ... 5 seconds.

Displacement is the distance and the direction FROM (the position at the beginning) TO (the position at the end).

At the beginning ... time=0 ... the position is 1 meter.

At the end ... time=5 ... the position is zero.

The distance FROM the beginning TO the end is (zero - 1m) . That's <em>-1m </em>.

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Explanation:

Question 1

1.The wires are made of conducting materials e.g copper

2. A light bulb is made of filament material e.g tungsten with gases enclosed in a glass material

3.The lens is made of transparent glass material

4 The reflector is made of plastic with silver lining

5. The exterior casing of most flash lights are made of plastic

Question 2.

1.Copper is used to conduct electric current from the battery to the bulb

2.The tungsten filament ignite the gases and causes it to glow

3. The lens covers the lamp on your flashlight so that the glass on the lamp

/bulbs does not get broken.

4.The reflector redirects the light rays from the lamp, creating a steady beam of light, which is the light you see emitting from the flashlight.

5. The exterior cases houses the entire assembly and makes the flash light handy for use

When applying an arm sling, the injured arm's hand should be placed in a ________ position in the sling, and above the level of

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

The answer is "thumb-up".

Explanation:

The sling often called the arm sling, is a solution for preventing either shoulder or elbow motion during healing. A triangle bandage could be constructed.

A sling is a strong tissue loop that descends from the head to hold the forearm. The armrests in the sling bent also at the elbow.

The injured hand of the forearm should be positioned inside the pin position in the joint above the level of the elbow when putting the forearm sling.

is to the east. (i) Automobile A travels 50 km due east. (ii) Automobile B travels 50 km due west. (iii) Automobile C travels 60

kenny6666 [7]

Complete Question:

Each of the following trips lasts exactly one hour. The positive direction is to the east.

(i) Automobile A travels 50 km due east. (ii) Automobile B travels 50 km due west. (iii) Automobile C travels 60 km due east, then turns around and travels 10 km due west. (iv) Automobile D travels 70 km due east. (v) Automobile E travels 20 km due west, then turns around and travels 20 km due east. (a) Rank the five trips in order of average x-velocity from most positive to most negative. (b) Which trips, if any, have the same average x-velocity? (c) For which trip, if any, is the average x-velocity equal to zero?

Answer:

a) 1. (iv) 2.) (i) and (iii). 3. (v) 4.(ii)

Explanation:

By definition, the average velocity, can be expressed as the total displacement (the difference between the final and initial position), divided by the time interval during which we define the displacement.

We can put these words in an equation format as follows:

$vavg,x = \frac{xf-xo}{t-to}$

If we choose x₀ = 0 and t₀ = 0, the average velocity is just the final position over one hour.

The final positions, in the five trips, are as follows:

(i) = +50 Km (2nd)

(ii) = -50 Km (4th)

(iii) + 60 Km -10 Km = + 50 km (2nd)

(iv) = + 70 km (1st)

(v) = -20 km + 20 Km = 0 (3rd)

b) As stated above, the trips (i) and (iii) have the same average x-velocity.

c) As stated above, in trip (v) as the total displacement is 0, average -velocity is 0 also.
