True or false: Displacement is the total path traveled by an object

Physics
1 answer:
amm18123 years ago

Answer:true

Explanation:

Displacement is the vector representation of a change in position. It is path independent and is equivalent to the straight line distance between the start and end locations. Distance is a scalar quantity that reflects the path traveled.

A ball rolls with a speed of 2.0m/s across a level table that is 1.0m above the floor. Upon reaching the edge of the table it fo
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:0.58 m

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the ball is u = 2.0 m/s

The height of the table is, h = 1.0 m

The ball falls in vertical direction under acceleration due to gravity.

Time taken for ball to hit the floor:

h= ut + 0.5gt² ( from the equation of motion)

1.0 m=2.0 m/s × t+0.5 × 9.8 m/s²× t²

Solving this for t,

t = 0.29 s ( we have neglected the negative value of t)

In the same time, the ball would cover a horizontal distance of :

s = u t

⇒s = 2.0 m/s×0.29 s = 0.58 m

Thus, the landing spot is 0.58 m away from the table.

The blood pressure of human body is greater at the feet than at the brain. why?give reason​
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Gravity stronger closer to the core of the earth

Explanation:

The gravity applied to the feet is stronger than to the upper part of the body for example the brain because of the distance it is between the body part and the core of the earth where the gravity force is pulling towards. Even though the difference between the gravity force between the brain and the feet is minimal it is still a greater force at the feet than at the brain

Un objeto se suelta desde determinada altura y emplea un tiempo t en caer al suelo. Si se cuadruplica la altura desde la cual se
blondinia [14]

When an object falls from a h height, you should work with the uniformly accelerated linear movement equations:

y=½*a*t²+Vo*t+yo

You should consider:

a=-g=-10m/s²

yo=h

If it’s a freefall, it means it starts from rest, which means it has no initial velocity:

Vo=0

Replacing that information in the equation:

y=½*(-10m/s²)*t²+0*t+h=-5m/s²*t²+0+h=-5m/s²*t²+h

So this is the

Besides, if you want to find out how long it takes for it to get to the floor, you should put the height of the floor as final height, which would be 0 (assuming the initial height has been measured from there):

y=0

0=-5m/s²*t²+h

5m/s²*t²=h

t²=h/(5m/s²)

t=√(h/(5m/s²))

t=√(hs²/(5m))

t=(√(h/(5m)))s

<span>If we <span>quadruple </span>h:</span>

t2=(√(h2/(5m)))s=(√(4*h1/(5m)))s=(√4)*(√h1/(5m)))s=2*(√h1/(5m)))s=2*t1

This 4 goes inside the square root, so then it converts to 2. So the new time is twice as much the previous time.

Concerning velocity, you have to use the other equation:

v=at+vo

As I said before, a is gravity and vo is zero.

v=-10m/s²*t+0=-10m/s²*t

Final velocity is directly related to time, so if time is doubled, so is velocity.

v2=-10m/s²*t2=-10m/s²*(2*t1)=2*(-10m/s²*t1)=2*v1

<span>So the correct answer is A, and the other ones are false.</span>

The green bars are called "error bars." They indicate the range of uncertainty that scientists have about the data on the graph.
vovangra [49]

This graph shows data up to about 2010. So it couldn't have been drawn before 2010. OF COURSE the data from only 10 years earlier was more reliable than the data that was 120 years old ! It wasn't even measured the same way back then as it is now.
