D. distance = 23 m, displacement = + 1 m
Explanation:
Let's remind the difference between distance and displacement:
- distance is a scalar, and is the total length covered by an object, counting all the movements in any direction
- displacement is a vector connecting the starting point and the final point of a motion, so its magnitude is given by the length of this vector, and its direction is given by the direction of this vector.
In this case, the distance covered by Karen is given by the sum of all its movements:
The displacement instead is given by the difference between the final point (1.0 m in front of the starting line) and the starting point (the starting line, 0 m):
Answer:
, where the minus indicates the direction is opposite to that of the throw.
Explanation:
a)
Since MKS stands for meter-kilogram-second and we know that:
We can write that:
These are conversion factors, equal to 1, so multiplying our results by them won't change their value, only their units.
So we have that:
b)
Newton's 2nd Law tells us that F=ma, and the definition of acceleration is , so we have:
Taking the throw direction as the positive one, for our values we have:
