Answer:
distance can describe the total distance moved and displacement shows how far something has moved from its starting position (in a straight line from point a to point b) the object doesn't have to move in a straight line, but that is how displacement is measured
In what may be one of the most remarkable coincidences in
all of physical science, the tangential component of circular
motion points along the tangent to the circle at every point.
The object on a circular path is moving in that exact direction
at the instant when it is located at that point in the circle. The
centripetal force ... pointing toward the center of the circle ...
is the force that bends the path of the object away from a straight
line, toward the next point on the circle. If the centripetal force
were to suddenly disappear, the object would continue moving
from that point in a straight line, along the tangent and away from
the circle.
Answer:
A person climbs a set of stairs
Explanation:
Potential energy is said to be possessed by an object due to its position. As the height from the ground level increase, the potential energy increases. It is calculated by the below formula as :
P = mgh
Out of the given options, the option that illustrates an increase in potential energy is option (b) i.e. a person climbs a set of stairs. As he steps one stair, its position from ground increases. It means its potential energy increases.
Answer:
26.5 minutes
Explanation:
When the airplane is flying due West from Denver to Reno, the due-East wind with speed of 80km/h would reduce the ground speed by 80 km/h.
Its Denver to Reno ground speed is 900 - 80 = 720 km/h
The time it takes to cover 1200km at this speed is 1200 / 720 = 1.67 hours
On the other hand, when it returns from Reno to Denver in the due-East direction, the due-East wind with speed of 80km/h would add to the ground speed by 80 km/h
Its Reno to Denver ground speed is 900 + 80 = 980 km/h
The time it takes to cover 1200 km at this speed is 1200 / 980 = 1.22 hours
The difference it flight time would be 1.67 - 1.22 = 0.44 hours or 26.5 minutes
