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.

Damm [24]

Answer:

40

Explanation:

If it is a flat mirror, the reflection and incidence are the same -- 40 degrees.

If it is anything else, more information is needed.

Velocity vector and acceleration vector in a uniform circular motion are related as.
mr_godi [17]

They are related as \bold{\underline {v}\,.\,\underline a }= \bold{0}

  • 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 (\underline p , \underline q) that are perpendicular to each other have a quality that their dot product (\underline p\,.\, \underline q) equal to zero vector (\bold 0) which is written as \undeline p\,.\, \underline q = \bold 0.
  • This quality can be considered when dealing with the velocity vector and the acceleration vector in a manner \underline v\,.\, \underline a =\bold 0.
