Answer:

The distance of one lap on this track from the start line to the finish line is 400 meters. Two laps around the track is 800 meters, half a lap is 200 meters, and so on.

    Remember, displacement is the direction from the starting point and the length of a straight line from the starting point to the ending point. If a runner was going to run 400 meters (one lap around the track), they would start and stop at the same place on the track. Therefore, their displacement would be 0.

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf Gabi \ had \ greater \ displacement}}

Explanation:

Displacement is the change in the position of an object.

Abigail runs a complete lap around the track, which is 400 meters. Even though she ran 400 meters, she has <u>no displacement.</u> If she starts and ends at the same spot, there is no change in position.

Gabi runs a 50 meter dash in a straight line. Gabi has <u>50 meters of displacement</u>. She runs in a straight line and is 50 meters away from where she began.

While Abigail ran the farther distance, <u>Gabi had the greater displacement.</u>

The velocity of a free falling ball at different time intervals on unknown planet is shown in Figure 1.24.
dsp73

Answer:

a1 = (V2 - V1) / 1 s = 3.75 m/s^2

a2 = (V2 - V1) / (t2 - t1) = (7.5 - 3.75) / 1 s = 3.75 m/s^2

a3 = (V2 - V1) / (t2 - t1) = (7.5 - 3.75) / 1 s = 3.75 m/s^2

A) a = (a1 + a2 + a3) / 3 = 3.75 m/s^2

v = a (t2 - t1)

B) after    1 sec    v = 3.75 m / sec^2 * 1 sec = 3.75 m/s

    after   2 sec     v = v0 + a t = 3.75 m/s + 3.75 m/s^2 * 1 s = 7.5 m/s

C)  The velocity increases proportionaly to the time

D) One factor depends on the variation of the acceleration due to gravity because of different positions of measurement (on earth)

A much larger factor is due to air resisance of the air on the falling object

A scientist studies a model of a widely accepted theory about the position of planets and sun. The model would most likely help
Troyanec [42]
If a scientist is studying a model that is a widely accepted theory about the position of planets and sun, the model would most likely help the scientist to understand facts that can't be easily observed. That will make the correct answer to be C.

Wood is burning. *
xenn [34]

Answer:

It may seem as though burning destroys matter, but the same amount, or mass, of matter still exists after a campfire as before. Look at Figure 3.7.1 below. It shows that when wood burns, it combines with oxygen and changes not only to ashes, but also to carbon dioxide and water vapor. The gases float off into the air, leaving behind just the ashes. Suppose you had measured the mass of the wood before it burned and the mass of the ashes after it burned. Also suppose you had been able to measure the oxygen used by the fire and the gases produced by the fire. What would you find? The total mass of matter after the fire would be the same as the total mass of matter before the fire.

How to find input force ​
vfiekz [6]

Answer: Calculate the work input in a pulley by using the previous readings in the correct mathematical equation. : Work (W) equals force (f) multiplied by distance (d), or W=fd. The work done by the pulley is the equation of weight (w) multiplied by height traveled (h).
