Answer:
Explanation:
Assuming the following question: A force F = (cx 3.00x2 li acts on a particle as the particle moves along an x axis, with F in newtons, x in meters, and c a constant. At x = 0 m, the particle's kinetic energy is 22.0 J; at x = 4.00 m, it is 9.00 J. Find C.
Solution to the problem
We know that the work for this case since we don't have change of potential energy is given by:
Where KE means kinetic energy
And we know that the work can be expressed like this:
If we integrate the left part we got:
Explanation:

B. Distance [the red line] is a scalar quantity reflecting how far an object has traveled. Displacement [the green line] is a vector quantity reflecting how far an object has moved from a point. The key difference is that distance can be any sort of path while displacement is always a vector (or a straight line) between a starting point and a finishing point. Sometimes distance and displacement are equal to one another. Sometimes you have a distance traveled, but zero displacement overall; which is what's going on in your question.
A. The distance that the racecar traveled is indeed 500m. But at the end of the lap, it is right back where it started. So overall, it has been displaced 0m.
