Displacement depends upon the path taken as it is a vector.
From your problem above we would have a total displacement of;
Defining +x direction as east and -x direction as west
6east-3west+1east+6east-7west
6-3+1+6-7=3 blocks east or + x-direction
So even though they walked a total of 17 blocks it ends up only being 3 blocks total in +xdirection that was travelled by displacement.
Any questions please ask.
It's called cellular differentiation. I think.
Answer:
0.67m/s²
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of toy = 1.2kg
Force applied = 0.8N
Unknown:
Acceleration = ?
Solution:
According to newton's second law of motion;
Force = mass x acceleration
Now,
Acceleration =
Acceleration =
= 0.67m/s²
