Answer:
Explanation:
We need only to apply the definition of acceleration, which is:
In our case the final velocity is , the initial velocity is
since it departs from rest, the final time is
and the initial time we are considering is
So for our values we have:
The butterfly takes a vertical perpendicular path equivalent to 9m and travels a horizontal distance of 17m. The net path between the two is equivalent to that of the hypotenuse, so we will apply the Pythagorean theorem.
Therefore the magnitude of the butterfly's displacement is 9m
