Answer:

The magnitude of the student's displacement is less than the distance she walked.

Walking:  11 Blocks

Displacement:  8.54 Blocks

Explanation:

See the attached diagram.  The unit of length is blocks.  We can add the actual blocks walked as shown.  She walked a total of 11 blocks.

Her displacement is the distance measured directly from where she started (line A).  Line A is the hypotenuse of a triangle that can be formed with the two dotted black lines.  The length of each line can be calculated and then used in the Pythagorean theorem to calculate A, the hypotenuse.

That result is 8.54 Blocks, a shorter distance, once she earns her wings.

A 1200-kilogram automobile in motion strikes a 0.0001-kilogram insect. As a result, the insect is accelerated at a rate of 100 m
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

force = 1 × 10^{-2} N

Explanation:

given data

automobile mass = 1200 kg

insect mass = 0.0001 kg

insect accelerated = 100 m/s²

to find out

magnitude of the force the insect exerts on the car

solution

we get here force the insect exerts that is express as

force = mass × acceleration    ............1

put here value we get

force = 0.0001 × 100 m/s²

force = 1 × 10^{-2} N

Describe the orbit in which planets revole around the sun
Novay_Z [31]
Planets orbit the sun in the paths which are known as elliptical orbit. Each planet has its own orbit around the sun and direction in which all the planets orbit around the sun are the same. These orbits were well explained by the astronomer Kepler. The gravity of the Sun keeps the planets in their orbits. They stay in their orbits because there is no other force in the Solar System which can stop them.
