The distance between an object and a reference point is the object's what?

Answer:

Displacement

Explanation:

The distance between an object and a certain reference point is called displacement. This is not to be confused with distance, which represents the total distance the object has travelled to get a certain point, regardless of how long it is. Displacement always represents the shortest distance (a straight line) between the initial and final points.

Answer:

Displacement is the distance and direction of an object's change in position from a reference point. Suppose a runner jogs to the 50-m mark and then turns around and runs back to the 20-m mark.

If a ball that is 10 meters above the ground is thrown horizontally at 5.51 meters per second. a. how long will it take for the
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

a. t = 1.43 s

b. d = 7.88 m

Explanation:

a. The time of flight can be found using the following equation:

y_{f} = y_{0} + v_{0_{y}}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

Where:

y_{f}: is the final height = -10 m

y_{0}: is the initial height = 0

v_{0_{y}}: is the initial speed in the vertical direction = 0

g: is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

By solving the above equation for "t" we have:

t = \sqrt{\frac{2y_{f}}{g}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*10 m}{9.81 m/s^{2}}} = 1.43 s

Hence, the ball will hit the ground in 1.43 s.

b. The distance in the horizontal direction can be found as follows:

x_{f} = x_{0} + v_{0}t + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

Where:

x₀: is the initial position in the horizontal direction = 0

a: is the acceleration in the horizontal direction = 0 (it is moving at constant speed)

x_{f} = 5.51 m/s*1.43 s = 7.88 m

Therefore, the ball will travel 7.88 m before it hits the ground.

I hope it helps you!

Someone help please by providing work and answers please :)

There are two ways to solve this. The longer way is to use those equations to calculate numbers for total distance.

The easier way is to find the area under the graph. That's right, AREA UNDER VELOCITY-TIME graph is the TOTAL DISTANCE travelled!

it's a shortcut.

Let's split up the area into a triangle and rectangle:

Triangle = 0.5(4-0)(10-0) = 20 m
Rectangle = (6-4)(10-0) = 20 m

Total distance = 40 m!

two negative charges that are both -3.0 C push each other apart with a force of 19.2 N how far apart are the charges
Hoochie [10]
The electrostatic force between two charges q1 and q2 is given by
F=k_e  \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}
where k_e =8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant and r is the distance between the two charges.

If we use F=19.2 N and q1=q2=-3.0 C, we can find the value of r, the  distance between the two charges by re-arranging the previous formula:
r= \sqrt{k_e \frac{q_1 q_2}{F} }= \sqrt{ 8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2} \frac{(-3.0C)^2}{19.2 N} } =6.49 \cdot 10^4 m=64.9 km
