Displacement only measure how far between the starting and ending point. In this case, Lisa walks around the block as a circle so the starting point is the same as the ending point. Thus, displacement is 0mile.
On the other hand, distance measures exactly how far she walks. In this case, the distance is 1 mile, same as the perimeter of the block.
Answer:
Explanation:
a )
Time to reach the speed of 20 m/s with an acceleration of 2 m/s² can be calculated as follows .
v = u + a t
20 = 0 + 2 t
t = 20 /2 = 10 s .
Total time = 10 s + 20 s + 5 s = 35 s .
b) Average velocity = Total distance travelled / total time
Distance travelled in first 10 s
S₁ = ut + 1/2 a t²
= 0 + .5 x 2 x 10²
= 100 m
Distance travelled in next 20 s
S₂= 20s x 20 m/s = 400 m
Distance travelled in last 5 s .
deceleration in last 5 s
v = u + at
0 = 20 m/s + a x 5
a = - 4 m/s²
v² = u² - 2 a s
0 = (20 m/s)² - 2 x 4 m/s² x s
s = 50 m
S₃ = 50 m
Total distance = S₁ + S₂ + S₃
= 100 m + 400 m + 50 m
= 550 m .
Average velocity = 550 m / 35 s
= 15.71 m /s .
It is C. A description goes into the details about something, and an explanation is a statement that clarifies something, generally a question.
Answer:
Average velocity
Average speed,
Explanation:
(a)Average velocity
We have to find the average velocity. We know that velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement with respect to time.
To find the average velocity we have to find the total displacement.
since displacement along east direction is 50m
and displacement along west=40m
so total displacement,
total time,
therefore, average velocity
(b)Average Speed:
Average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance to the total time
it means
Average speed= total distance/total time
here total distance,
and total time,
therefore,
Average speed,
