equalIs he correct?

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...

A wheel starts from rest and rotates with constant angular acceleration to reach an angular speed of 11.1 rad/s in 2.99 s.(a) fi
elena55 [62]
The angular acceleration of a rotating object is given by
\alpha =  \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\Delta t}
where
\omega_f is the final angular speed of the object
\omega_i is its initial angular speed
\Delta t is the time taken to accelerate

For the wheel in our problem, \omega_f=11.1 rad/s, \omega_i = 0 and \Delta t=2.99 s, so its angular acceleration is
\alpha= \frac{11.1 rad/s-0}{2.99 s}=3.71 rad/s^2

How fast is the spaceship traveling towards the Sun? The radius of the orbit of Jupiter is 43.2 light-minutes, and that of the o
melisa1 [442]

Question:

A spaceship enters the solar system moving toward the Sun at a constant speed relative to the Sun. By its own clock, the time elapsed between the time it crosses the orbit of Jupiter and the time it crosses the orbit of Mars is 35.0 minutes

How fast is the spaceship traveling towards the Sun? The radius of the orbit of Jupiter is 43.2 light-minutes, and that of the orbit of Mars is 12.6 light-minutes.

Answer:

S = 5.508 × 10¹¹m

V = 2.62 × 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

The radius of the orbit of Jupiter, Rj is 43.2 light-minutes

radius of the orbit of Mars, Rm is 12.6 light-minutes

Distance travelled S = (Rj - Rm)

= 43.2 - 12.6 = 30.6 light- minutes

= 30.6 × (3 ×10⁸m/s) × 60 s

= 5.508 × 10¹¹m

time = 35mins = (35 × 60 secs)

= 2100 secs

speed = distance/time

V = 5.508 × 10¹¹m / 2100 s

V = 2.62 × 10⁸ m/s

What type of climate would be near cold ocean currents? PLEASE HELP QUICK!!
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

hot humid with lots of rain.

Explanation:

ocean currents act as conveyer belts of warm and cold water sending heat to the polar regions and helping the tropical areas cool off, thus influencing both weather and climate. the tropics are particularly rainy because heat absorption , and thus ocean evaporation, is highest.
