A tiger paces back and forth along the front of its cage, which is 8 m wide. The tiger starts from the right side of the cage, p

aces to the left side, then back to the right side, and finally back to the left. What total distance has the tiger paced? What is the tiger's resultant displacement?

Answer:

The total distance is 24 m.

The tiger's resultant displacement is 8 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Width of tiger= 8 m

Tiger starts from the right side of the cage,

Paces to the left side

\Delta x_{1}=+8\ m

Then, back to the right side,

\Delta x_{2}=-8\ m

finally, back to the left

\Delta x_{3}=+8\ m

We need to calculate the total distance covered

Using formula of distance

d= x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3}

Put the value into the formula

d=8+8+8

d=24\ m

We need to calculate the tiger's resultant displacement

Using formula of displacement

D=\Delta x_{1}+\Delta x_{2}+\Delta x_{3}

Put the value into the formula

D=8+(-8)+8

D=8\ m

Hence, The total distance is 24 m.

The tiger's resultant displacement is 8 m.

What elements are good conductors of electricity?
kramer
In solids: All metals are good conductors of electricity as they contain free moving electrons. Non-metals doesn't conduct , but we consider Graphite the only non-metal that can conduct electricity for the presence of free moving electrons.

In Liquids ; Ionic compunds contains free moving ions , so they conduct electricity as well .

A car is traveling at 15 m/sm/s . Part A How fast would the car need to go to double its kinetic energy
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

21.21 m/s

Explanation:

Let KE₁ represent the initial kinetic energy.

Let v₁ represent the initial velocity.

Let KE₂ represent the final kinetic energy.

Let v₂ represent the final velocity.

Next, the data obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (v₁) = 15 m/s

Initial kinetic Energy (KE₁) = E

Final final energy (KE₂) = double the initial kinetic energy = 2E

Final velocity (v₂) =?

Thus, the velocity (v₂) with which the car we travel in order to double it's kinetic energy can be obtained as follow:

KE = ½mv²

NOTE: Mass (m) = constant (since we are considering the same car)

KE₁/v₁² = KE₂/v₂²

E /15² = 2E/v₂²

E/225 = 2E/v₂²

Cross multiply

E × v₂² = 225 × 2E

E × v₂² = 450E

Divide both side by E

v₂² = 450E /E

v₂² = 450

Take the square root of both side.

v₂ = √450

v₂ = 21.21 m/s

Therefore, the car will travel at 21.21 m/s in order to double it's kinetic energy.
