Answer:

No

Explanation:

Displacement is how far between your initial and finishing position.

If one lap around the track is 400 m and the sprinter ran 1 lap around the track. Then the sprinter's distance is 400 m and their displacement is 0 m

If the sprinter ran 400 m in a straight line however, then it would be equal.

But since the sprinter ran 1 lap around there is no displacement.

I hope this helped you...

Plz solve this. plz plz plz plz simple machine ​
nalin [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

i.  CW moment = 10 N (10 cm) + 30 N (30 cm) - 60 N (40 cm) = - 1400 N-cm

ii.  ACW momenet = 60 N (40 cm) - 10 N (10 cm) + 30 N (30 cm) = 1400 N-cm

iii.  No. The lever is not balanced in the situation. Because the moment is ± 1400 N-cm.  if balance, the moment must be Zero.

iv.   the location of 10N by keeping the other loads unchanged to balance the lever is 150 cm

take moment from Δ (support)

60(40) = 10(x) + 30(30)

2400 = 10x + 900

10x = 2400 - 900

10x = 1500

x = 1500/10

x = 150 cm  

therefore, the location of 10N by keeping the other loads unchanged to balance the lever is 150 cm

How far does the moon move away from earth every year?
Oxana [17]
The moon is moving away from Earth at a rate of approximately 3.78 cm per year.
This migration of the Moon from the Earth is mainly due to the action of the Earth tides. It can be explained as follows:
- the Moon exerts a gravitational force on the Earth, which is stronger at the Equator (since the Equator is closer to the Moon), creating the tides
- However, the Earth rotates faster on its axis (one rotation every 24 hours) than the Moon (one rotation every 27 days), therefore the tidal bulge on Earth tries to pull the Moon "ahead" in its orbit. As a result, the Moon tends to sped up.
<span>- As opposite reaction, the Earth tends to slow down in its rotation, with a loss of angular momentum. Since the angular momentum must be conserved, the radius of the orbit of the Moon becomes larger, and this explains why the Moon is moving away from the Earth.</span>
