The position compared to that of home is a reference to displacement, I believe.
Displacement = x total - x initial
So I believe the answer is 5 blocks due north (if you’re walking linearly from your home), unless the questions is referring to relative displacement, in which then you’d need to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse between both positions. And then you’d have to find theta for the degrees between the south direction and the other unmentioned direction. But I don’t think that’s the case.
Distance refers to x total and doesn’t care for direction, as this refers to a scalar quantity opposed to a vector. Thus the equation is just
d = x
So 8 blocks + 3 blocks = a distance of eleven blocks walked total
Answer:
<u>Work done by the force acting on a body is defined as the product of force and displacement of the body in the direction of the force.</u><u> </u> It is a scalar quantity. Force acting on the body must produce a displacement for the work is to be done by the force. Thus, for the work to be done, the following conditions must be fulfilled:
A force must be applied and the applied force must produce a displacement in any direction except perpendicular to the direction of the force.
Mathematically,
( in the direction of force)
i.e W= F•D
The SI unit of force is Newton (N) and that of displacement of a metre (M). So the unit of work is Newton metre(Nm) which is joule (J).
Thus, one joule work is said to be done when one Newton force displaces a body through one metre in its own direction.
Hope this helps...
Good luck on your assignment..
Both involve the formation of gas hope
Lahars can also be formed when high-volume or long-duration rainfall occurs during or after an eruption. It can change the shape of a mountain by blowing parts of it away, but volcanic eruptions can also build up the land around a volcano when lava flows out and hardens on the surface. The surface of the Earth can crack and shift during an earthquake above the point where the crust moves.
