Answer:
Distance = 30m
Displacement = 6m W
Explanation:
Given the following:
Movement 1 = 18m W
Movement 2 = 12m E
Diatance is a scalar quantity with only magnitude and no direction. That is, in Calculating the distance moved by the locomotive, the direction of travel or movement of the object is not considered. It only measures the total amount of movement made during the Time of motion.
Therefore, total distance traveled equals :
Movement 1 + movement 2
18m + 12m = 30m
B) Displacement also measures the movement made by an object. However, Displacement is a vector quantity and therefore, considers both magnitude and direction of travel of the object. Therefore, it measures the overall change in position of the object from its starting position.
Therefore, Displacement of the locomotive equals:
18m W - 12m E = 6m E
When you draw an illustration for this problem, you would come up with the same drawing as shown in the picture. As the hot-air balloon travels upwards, there is a slight time when the bag of sand rises up until it reaches the maximum height. Then, it goes back down to the ground. The total time would be t₁ + t₂. The solution is as follows:
H = v₀²/2g = (2.45)²/2(9.81) = 0.306 m
t₁ = H/v₀ = 0.306 m/2.45 m/s = 0.125 s
t₂ = √2(H + 98.8)/g = √2(0.306+ 98.8)/9.81
t₂ = 4.495 s
Total time = 0.125 s + 4.495 s = 4.62 seconds
H = v₀²/2g = (2.45)²/2(9.81) = 0.306 m
t₁ = H/v₀ = 0.306 m/2.45 m/s = 0.125 s
t₂ = √2(H + 98.8)/g = √2(0.306+ 98.8)/9.81
t₂ = 4.495 s
Total time = 0.125 s + 4.495 s = 4.62 seconds
