Average velocity is different than average speed because calculating average velocity involves

Physics
1 answer:
Artemon [7]2 years ago

Answer:

calculating displacement.

Explanation:

It's not true that displacement and distance would be the same always. Displacement is always smaller than or equal to distance as it is the smallest path between the initial and final point whereas distance is the measure of the total path covered.

The speed of a car during a trip is represented in the graph. Compare distance and displacement at four hours into the trip.
mezya [45]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: D.

Explanation:

Distance refers to the amount of space between two points, it is a scalar quantity.

Displacement refers to the space between two points, measure from the minimum path linking them, it is a vector quantity.

I'm not agree with these answers, because the total distance  is approximately 500km.

A) The distance traveled is 300 km.  This answer is not correct.

B) Distance is 300 km and displacement is 0 km.  This answer is not correct because the displacement is also 500 km.

C) Distance is 300 km/hour and displacement is 300 km. 300 km/h is a measure of speed not of distance, this option is wrong.

D) Both distance traveled and displacement are 300 km. I think this is the correct answer because distance and displacement measure the same. but I think both measure 500 km.

He graph below shows the velocity f(t) of a runner during a certain time interval:
Annette [7]
<span>The following that describes the intercepts on the graph is "The initial velocity of the runner was 4 m/s, and the runner stopped after 8 seconds." It is because the starting point of the line is at 4 and then the ending point is at 8.

"A hiker starts at point P and walks 2.0 kilometers due east and then 1.4 kilometers due north. The vectors in the diagram below
Law Incorporation [45]
Here, you need to use your "Protractor" as it is given in the question, but we can calculate the value with the help of our mathematical calculation too:
[ Protractor can be use only in real life, not here ]

Draw an imaginary line from initial position to final position.
Now, In that triangle, tan x = P/B
tan x = 1.4 / 2
tan x = 0.70
x = tan⁻¹ (0.70)
x = 35  [ tan 35 = 0.70 ]

In short, Your Answer would be 35 degrees

Hope this helps!
