Given that a hot air balloon lifts 50 meters vertically into the air and then comes back down.
The displacement is the distance covered in a specific direction.
When the balloon is going up, the displacement is positive. and when the balloon is coming down, the displacement is negative.
The total displacement = 50 - 50 = 0
The distance is a measurement of length between to different points or position.
For distance, there is no need to consider direction. There is no consideration for positive or negative signs
While the distance = 50 + 50 = 100 meters
Therefore, the correct answer is C
That is, The displacement is zero and the distance is 100 meters

Answer:
An unbalanced force (net force) acting on an object changes its speed and/or direction of motion. ... A net force = unbalanced force. If however, the forces are balanced (in equilibrium) and there is no net force, the object will not accelerate and the velocity will remain constant.

Answer:

Explanation:
Given data
Time t=2.5 minutes=150 seconds
Distance A=1600 ft=487.68 m........east
Distance B=2500 ft=762m ........north
To find
Average velocity
Solution
First we need to find the resultant distance magnitude.To find that we apply Pythagorean theorem to find hypotenuse
So


Answer:
false statement : b ) For the motion of a cart on an incline plane having a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.5, the magnitude of the change in kinetic energy equals the magnitude of the change in gravitational potential energy
Explanation:
mechanical energy = potential energy + kinetic energy = constant
differentiating both side
Δ potential energy + Δ kinetic energy = 0
Δ potential energy = - Δ kinetic energy
first statement is true.
Friction is a non conservative force so inter-conversion of potential and kinetic energy is not possible in that case. In case of second option, the correct relation is as follows
change in gravitational potential energy = change in kinetic energy + work done against friction .
So given 2 nd option is incorrect.
In case of no change in gravitational energy , work done is equal to
change in kinetic energy.
