Answer:

If you take the first example of the walk around the desk, it should be apparent that sometimes the distance is the same as the magnitude of the displacement. ... Since the displacement is measured along the shortest path between two points, its magnitude is always less than or equal to the distance.

From a vantage point very close to the track at a stock car race, you hear the sound emitted by a moving car. You detect a frequ

V125BC [204]

Answer:

55.8 m/s

Explanation:

$f$ = Actual frequency of sound emitted by car

$f'$ = frequency observed when the car moves = $(0.86)f$

$V$ = Speed of sound = 343 m/s

$v$ = Speed of car

Frequency observed is given as

$f' = \frac{Vf}{V+v}$

$(0.86) = \frac{(343)}{343 + v}\\(0.86) = \frac{(343)}{343 + v}\\294.98 + (0.86) v = 343 \\v = 55.8 ms^{-1}$

SVEN [57.7K]

Given that the mass is m = 0.2 kg and the displacement is x = 3 cm = 0.03 m

We have to find the spring constant and potential energy.

The spring constant can be calculated by the formula
