A caterpillar tries to climb straight up a wall a meter high, but for every 2 cm up it climbs, it slides down 1 cm. Eventually,

it reaches the top. When it reaches the top, it does not pull itself over so it will slide down 1 cm. What is the total displacement traveled? (Include direction, whether up, down, or n/a.)

<u>Answer:</u>

Total displacement traveled = 298

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to the given information, to actually climb for 1 cm, the caterpillar has to travel for 3 cm (2 cm upwards and 1 cm downwards).

So in order to climb straight up a one meter (100 cm) high wall, it needs to travel for 99 × 3 = 297 cm.

Then after a little it can travel up another cm to reach the top.

Therefore, the total displacement traveled = 297 + 1 = 298 cm

"Displacement" means the distance and direction from start to finish, regardless of what happened in between.

The caterpillar's displacement is 99 cm straight up.

Which object has a net force of -68
valkas [14]
The net force is the vector sum of all the forces that act upon an object. That is to say, the net force is the sum of all the forces, taking into account the fact that a force is a vector and two forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction will cancel each other out.

A bird is flying due east. Its distance from a tall building is given by x(t) = 28.0 m + (12.4 m/s)t – (0.0450 m/s3)t3. What is
Kruka [31]

Answer:

3.76 m/s

Explanation:

Instantaneous velocity: This can be defined as the velocity of an object in a non uniform motion. The S.I unit is m/s.

v' = dx(t)/dt..................... Equation 1

Where v' = instantaneous velocity, x = distance, t = time.

Given the expression,

x(t) = 28.0 m + (12.4 m/s)t - (0.0450 m/s³)t³

x(t) = 28 + 12.4t - 0.0450t³

Differentiating x(t) with respect to t.

dx(t)/dt = 12.4 - 0.135t²

dx(t)/dt = 12.4 - 0.135t²

When t = 8.00 s.

dx(t)/dt = 12.4 - 0.135(8)²

dx(t)/dt = 12.4 - 8.64

dx(t)/dt = 3.76 m/s.

Therefore,

v' = 3.76 m/s.

Hence, the instantaneous velocity = 3.76 m/s

How do scientists decide how they gather information
kogti [31]
The scientific method. When conducting research, scientists use the scientific method to collect measurable, empirical evidence in an experiment related to a hypothesis (often in the form of an if/then statement), the results aiming to support or contradict a theory.
