The displacement of the balloon is zero while the distance is 100 m

Displacement if the change in the position of an object. When an object is displaced and it returns to the same position, the displacement is zero.

Displacement is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

  • Displacement of the balloon = 50 m Upward - 50 m downward = 0

Distance is the measure of the total path traveled by object. When an object is released to certain position and it returns to the same position, the distance is the sum of the path covered by the object. Unlike displacement, distance is a scalar quantity, because it can represented by magnitude only.

  • The distance of the balloon = 50 m upward + 50 m downward = 100 m

Thus, the displacement of the balloon is zero while the distance is 100 m

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

A 1500-kg car accelerates from rest to 25 m/s in 7.0 s. what is the average power delivered by the engine? (1 hp = 746 w)
AVprozaik [17]
The solution for this is:
Work done = force * distance = m*a*d and power = energy/time 
The vo=0 and vf = 25 m/s and t=7 sec. This gives... 
3.6 m/s^2 as acceleration and d=87.5 meters and thus F=ma= 5400 N. 
Energy = 5400*87.5 = 4.7E5 Joules (2 sig. figs) and Power = 67,500 Watts or 90 HP (2 sig. figs again).

Hello, I wanted an answer from a mathematician. The number 1.04 is closer to the number 1, 2, 1.25 or 1.5.
babymother [125]

Answer:

Explanation:

Of the 4 numbers given, the answer is 1 or A

If you take the absolute value of abs(1 - 1.04) you get 0.04.

(2 - 1.04) = 0.96

1.25 - 1.04 = .21

1.5 - 1.04 = 0.46

The last three are all larger than 0.04

Note: absolute value means the positive difference between 2 numbers (even  though it is negative). If it is negative, absolute value makes it positive.

A 2.00-kg rock has a horizontal velocity of magnitude 12.0 m&gt;s when it is at point P in Fig. E10.35. (a) At this instant, wha
zaharov [31]

Answer:

(A) L = 115.3kgm²/s

(B) dL/dt = 94.1kgm²/s²

Explanation:

The magnitude of the angular momentum of the rock is given by the foemula

L = mvrSinθ

We have been given θ = 36.9°, m = 2.0kg, v = 12.0m/s and r = 8.0m.

Therefore L = 2.00 × 12 × 8.0 × Sin 36.9° =

115.3 kgm²/s

(B) The magnitude of the rate of angular change in momentum is given by

dL /dt = d(mvrSinθ)/dt = mgrSinθ = 2.00 × 9.8 × 8.0× Sin36.9 = 94.1kgm²/s²
