<h2><u>Answer</u>:</h2>

Distance = 50m

Displacement = 50m to the right

<h2><u>Explanation</u>:</h2>

<em>Distance</em> is the total length of a given path. It is a scalar quantity and thus takes no consideration on the direction of the path.

<em>Displacement</em> on the other hand is the change in position of an object. It is a vector quantity and takes consideration on the direction of the object.

From the question:

<em>The swimmer swims half lap by moving from the left end to the right end of a pool that is 50m long.</em>

Distance = total length of the given path = 50m

Displacement = change in position of the swimmer from the left end (0m) to the right end (50m) = 50 - 0 = 50m

Since direction is important in displacement, the complete details of the displacement should be 50m to the right

A car and a train move together along straight, parallel paths with the same constant cruising speed v0. At t=0 the car driver n

Answer:

a) t1 = v0/a0

b) t2 = v0/a0

c) v0^2/a0

Explanation:

A)

How much time does it take for the car to come to a full stop? Express your answer in terms of v0 and a0

Vf = 0

Vf = v0 - a0*t

0 = v0 - a0*t

a0*t = v0

t1 = v0/a0

B)

How much time does it take for the car to accelerate from the full stop to its original cruising speed? Express your answer in terms of v0 and a0.

at this point

U = 0

v0 = u + a0*t

v0 = 0 + a0*t

v0 = a0*t

t2 = v0/a0

C)

The train does not stop at the stoplight. How far behind the train is the car when the car reaches its original speed v0 again? Express the separation distance in terms of v0 and a0 . Your answer should be positive.

t1 = t2 = t

Distance covered by the train = v0 (2t) = 2v0t

and we know t = v0/a0

so distanced covered = 2v0 (v0/a0) = (2v0^2)/a0

now distance covered by car before coming to full stop

Vf2 = v0^2- 2a0s1

2a0s1 = v0^2

s1 = v0^2 / 2a0

After the full stop;

V0^2 = 2a0s2

s2 = v0^2/2a0

Snet = 2v0^2 /2a0 = v0^2/a0

Now the separation between train and car

= (2v0^2)/a0 - v0^2/a0

= v0^2/a0

A racecar is equipped with a computer that records the reading on its speedometer every second during a race. If you graph this
Tanya [424]
Because it records speed of the car at a certain time, the independent variable should be time and dependent would be speed or velocity. Since it's taken every second, it would be considered instantaneous velocity, which is D.
