Sarah and Maisie are analysing data from their school sports day. Looking at the 1500 m results for Stephen, Maisie believes tha

t Stephen’s displacement from the start line is 1500 m. Sarah says that she is incorrect and that his displacement from the start is actually 0 m. Which of the students is correct? Give reasoning for your answer.

Answer:

Sarah is right

Explanation:

This is an exercise that differentiates between scalars and vectors.

A scalar is a number, instead a vector is a number that represents the module in addition to direction and sense.

In this case, the distance (scalar) traveled is a number, which is why it is worth 1500m, but the displacement is a vector and since the point where it leaves is the same point where the vector's modulus arrives is zero, so the DISPLACEMENT VECTOR is zero

consequently Sarah is right

A snowball starting at rest rolls down a hill and reaches 5 m/s. If the hill is
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The acceleration of the snowball is 0.3125

Explanation:

The initial speed of the snowball up the hill, u = 0

The speed the snowball reaches, v = 5 m/s

The length of the hill, s = 40 m

The equation of motion of the snowball given the above parameters is therefore;

v² = u² + 2·a·s

Where;

a = The acceleration of the snowball

Plugging in the values, we have;

5² = 0² + 2 × a × 40

∴ 2 ×  40 × a  = 5² = 25

80 × a = 25

a = 25/80 = 5/16

a = The acceleration of the snowball = 5/16 m/s².

The acceleration of the snowball = 5/16 m/s² = 0.3125 m/s² .

How long is the racetrack if it takes a racecar 3.4 s travelling at 75 m/s to finish?​
RSB [31]

Answer:

255 metres

Explanation:

The answer to thi question is actually quite simple. Since the car goes for 3.4 seconds, and it goes 75 metres every second, the answer is just 3.4 multiplied by 75 Metres.

Calculate the ratio of the drag force on a passenger jet flying with a speed of 1200 km/h at an altitude of 10 km to the drag fo
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

2.267

Explanation:

Drag force is given by

F=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho Av^2C

C = Drag coefficient is constant

A = Area is constant

v_1 = Velocity of the passenger jet = 1200 km/h = \dfrac{1200}{3.6}\ \text{m/s}

v_2 = Velocity of the prop plane = \dfrac{1}{4}v_1

\rho_1 = Density of the air where the jet was flying = 0.38\ \text{kg/m}^3

\rho_2 = Density of the air where the prop plane was flying = 0.67\ \text{kg/m}^3

F\propto \rho v^2

\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{\rho_1 v_1^2}{\rho_2 v_2^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{0.38 v_1^2}{0.67 (\dfrac{1}{4}v_1^2)}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=2.267

The ratio of the drag forces is 2.267.
