Answer:
Distance = 30m
Displacement = 6m W
Explanation:
Given the following:
Movement 1 = 18m W
Movement 2 = 12m E
Diatance is a scalar quantity with only magnitude and no direction. That is, in Calculating the distance moved by the locomotive, the direction of travel or movement of the object is not considered. It only measures the total amount of movement made during the Time of motion.
Therefore, total distance traveled equals :
Movement 1 + movement 2
18m + 12m = 30m
B) Displacement also measures the movement made by an object. However, Displacement is a vector quantity and therefore, considers both magnitude and direction of travel of the object. Therefore, it measures the overall change in position of the object from its starting position.
Therefore, Displacement of the locomotive equals:
18m W - 12m E = 6m E
If the sign of work is negative, that means the force and the motion are in opposite directions.
Let's say you see something roll off of the shelf. You catch it, and you let it down slowly and gently.
Gravity exerted down-force on it and it moved down. Gravity did positive work on it.
YOU exerted UP-force on it and it moved down. YOU did negative work on it.
(Also, the falling object exerted down-force on your hand, and your hand moved down. The falling object did positive work on your hand ! Where did THAT energy come from ? It came from the potential energy that the object had while it was on the shelf. Your hand absorbed that energy on the way down, doing negative work. So the object didn't have any kinetic energy when it reached the floor, and it did NOT splinter the floor or shatter in smithereens. It had barely enough energy left to make a sound when it hit the floor.)
If the answer is not C D then is A bc of the way it crosses over
<span>The planet which shows evidence of water erosion is Mars. Scientists discovered that Mars is the only other planet which has evidences of water existance as Mars' atmosphere contains trace amounts of water vapor, and it surprisingly turned out that it also has polar ice caps which are filled with frozen H2O. And, as you may have heart, Mars has shown many evidences of past river valleys and lakes.</span>
