Displacement vs Total Distance

Explanation:

Displacement is the difference between the start position and end position.

Total Distance is the entire distance <em>traveled</em> between the start and end position.

A plane travels 1743 KM in 2 hours 30 minutes. How fast was the plane traveling?

Advocard [28]

Answer:

$v=697.2km/h$

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the velocity is computed via the division of the distance traveled by the elapsed time:

$V=\frac{d}{t}$

The distance is clearly 1743 km and the time is:

$t=2h+30min*\frac{1h}{60min} =2.5h$

Thus, the velocity turns out:

$v=\frac{1743km}{2.5h}\\ \\v=697.2km/h$

Which is a typical velocity for a plane to allow it be stable when flying.

Best regards.

A person starts at the origin and then walks 6 m to the west, and then 8 m south.

zmey [24]

please mark brainliest

Explanation:

Let the east direction to be i^ and north direction be j^.

Thus displacement of the man S=8i^+6j^

So, magnitude of displacement ∣S∣=62+82=100=10 m

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Explanation:

Iron and gadlinium are both very easily made into magnetic substances. Cobalt is also capable of being magnetized. Aluminum, put in an alloy, can make a magnetic substance, but

Aluminum by itself is not able to be magnetized.

A man at point A directs his rowboat due north toward point B, straight across a river of width 100 m. The river current is due

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

1.35208 m/s

Explanation:

Speed of the boat = 0.75 m/s

Distance between the shores = 100 m

Time = Distance / Speed

$Time=\frac{100}{0.75}=133.33\ s$

Time taken by the boat to get across is 133.33 seconds

Point C is 150 m from B

Speed = Distance / Time

$Speed=\frac{150}{\frac{100}{0.75}}=1.125\ m/s$

Velocity of the water is 1.125 m/s

From Pythagoras theorem

$c=\sqrt{0.75^2+1.125^2}\\\Rightarrow c=1.35208\ m/s$

So, the man's velocity relative to the shore is 1.35208 m/s
