Describing motion verbally with distance and displacement

Physics
1 answer:
Dima020 [189]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: Distance is the actual position traveled by an object. Displacement is the shortest distance covered by the object.

Explanation:

Distance is the actual length covered by an object from one position to another. It is a scalar quantity. It cannot be negative.

Displacement is the shortest distance covered by the object. The displacement can be calculated by subtracting initial distance from the final distance. It is vector quantity. The displacement covered by an object can be zero, negative and positive.

Suppose, the boy travels from home to school then come back to his home. The distance between from his home to his school is 3 km.

In this case, the boy covers the total distance from home to school then to home is 6 km. But the displacement is zero because he comes to same position.

A 3.75 kg ball is lifted from the floor to a height of 1.5 m above the floor. What is its increase in potential energy?
inysia [295]
<span>We can use a simple equation to calculate the increase in gravitational potential energy. PE = mgh m is the mass of the object g is the acceleration due to gravity h is the change in height PE = mgh PE = (3.75 kg) (9.80 m/s^2) (1.5 m) PE = 55.1 Joules The increase in gravitational potential energy is 55.1 Joules.</span>

In a lab, the mass of object A is 2.5 kg. Object A weighs:
kondor19780726 [428]
Weight of object = mass x acceleration due to gravity
                             =  2.5 x 9.8
                             =   24.5N

Hence option B is correct.
Hope this helps!!

A 5.0 kg bucket of water is raised from a well by a rope. If the upward acceleration of the bucket is 3.0 m/s^2, find the force
Harman [31]
We know that m = 5 kg 
                      a  =  3.0 m/s^2
                      g = 9.8 (since not written, lets assume it's an international standard) 

T - mg =  ma

T = mg + ma

T = (5 . 9.8)  +  (5 . 3 )   

T = 49 + 15
  
T  = 64 N

Hope this helps
