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
1 answer:
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
Then, back to the right side,
finally, back to the left
We need to calculate the total distance covered
Using formula of distance
Put the value into the formula
We need to calculate the tiger's resultant displacement
Using formula of displacement
Put the value into the formula
Hence, The total distance is 24 m.
The tiger's resultant displacement is 8 m.

They are related as
- In a uniform circular motion, the magnitude of the speed does not change during the travel and only the instantaneous direction changes.
- This speed is always directed along the tangent to the circle at a given point. (refer to the figure attached)
- For any circular motion, the must-have acceleration is the centripetal acceleration that is directed towards the centre of the circular locus (if the motion has a tangential acceleration, it has a tangential acceleration additionally).
- Therefore, both the directions of the tangential speed and the centripetal acceleration are orthogonal to each other (perpendicular: one is 90 degrees apart from the other).
- In mathematics, 2 vectors (
,
) that are perpendicular to each other have a quality that their dot product (
) equal to zero vector (
) which is written as
.
- This quality can be considered when dealing with the velocity vector and the acceleration vector in a manner
