Paula has gone 1 km east as the total displacement. The total distance would be 7 km. Why? Well, the difference between displacement and distance is displacement is directional which is why it’s included in velocity and not speed. However, distance is more broad and not as specific.

the royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado rises 321 m above the Arkansas river. suppose you kick a rock horizontally off the bridge. Th
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

2.48 m/s

Explanation:

We can use the kinematic equation,

s = ut +½at²

Where

s = displacement

u = initial velocity

t = time taken

a = acceleration

Using the equation in vertical direction,

321 = 0×t +½×g×t², u = 0 because initial vertical velocity is 0

We get t = 8.01 s

Using the equation in the horizontal direction,

52 = u×8.01 +½×0×(8.01)²,. a = 0 because no unbalanced force act on object in that direction

So u = 2.48 m/s
