What is the displacement of a person who leaves her porch to walk 1 mile then returns in 30 minutes?
Overall, if she return to the same spot, then there is zero displacement -- they haven't moved.
What is the resultant displacement if a person walks 46 meters east then 23 km south?
46 squared + 23 squared = the resultant displacement squared. Pythagoras' theorem.
What is the displacement of a person who leaves her porch to walk 1 mile and then returns in 30 minutes?
It's 0.
What is the displacement of a person when he covers 0.5 the distance in a circular path of radius 5 meter?
If he covers 1/2 the length of the circular path, then the beginning and end of histrip are at opposite ends of a diameter of the circle.Diameter = 2 x radius = 2 x 5 = 10 meters.
Which is faster a person who covered 10 meters in 5 seconds or the one who covered 20 meters in 10 seconds?
They are the same .
If person moves a distance of 3 km towards east then 2 km towards north and then 3.5 km towards east find distance covered by the person?
Total eastward distance covered = 6.5 km Total northward distance covered = 2 km The scalar distance covered by the person and his shoes is 8.5 km. The magnitude of his displacement vector, i.e. the distance of his final location with respect to his initial location, is sqrt[ (6.5)2 + (2)2 ] = sqrt( 42.25 + 4 ) = sqrt( 46.25 ) = 6.8 km (rounded) Note: Technically, that 6.8 km applies only near the equator. For this simple calculation, we handled 'east' and 'north' as if they were orthogonal coordinates on a cartesian plane. The truth is something different on the surface of a sphere, and the farther you get from the equator, the more different the truth becomes. So we know for sure that 6.8 km is not precisely correct. We don't know how incorrect it is, we think it's probably close, and finally, we believe the questioner doesn't care.
How is work done by force measured?
You can measure the amount of work done with the formula W=Fd where W is work, F is force and d is displacement. The SI unit for work is joules (J) and if you're using thatformula, force must be in newtons (N) and displacement in meters (m). Remember that if the displacement is 0, work done is 0. If a person went around a track, and ended where he started, the displacement is 0. Displacement is the distance measures from where something starts and where it ends. Not necessarily the distance covered. Also, work is a vector quantity as is force and displacement. Hope this helps!
A person walks 3 miles north, turns and walks 2 miles east. Calculate the persons distance traveled and their displacement?
Distance 2+3=5 displacement 2
Differentiate distance and displacement?
Distance has no concept of direction and can be measured even if a person walks 2 miles in the shape of a triangle, he or she has still walked 2 miles. Displacement, however, it the distance measured between two particular points in a certain direction.
For any given motion displacement is?
Displacement is a word that describes how much distance an object travels through in a given amount of time. If a person drives a car at 50 miles an hour for one hour, the displacement will be 50 miles.
What is the displacement of person who leaves her porch to walk of 1 mile and then returns in thirty minutes?
the displacement is zero because even though she moved she went back to the same place so there is no distance between the beginning point of her walk and the end point of her walk. 0 displacement
What is the displacement of a person who leaves her porch to walk 1 mile and then returns s in 30 mins?
The displacement is zero.
A person pacing back and forth travels 5 west 7m west what is the person final displacement?
The displacement of the person pacing back and forth travels 5 west 7m west is usually East.
How can displacement be negative?
Displacement is a vector quantity, which means it has a magnitude (size) and a direction, compared to a scalar quantity which only shows size. A negative displacement simply means that the person or object is going in a negative direction, or returning.ORYes it can be -ve because with displacement, sign indicates direction. Usually right and up are designated as positive while left and down are designated as negative, but this can be changed as long as one is consistent.So in most cases, if the displacement is negative it means you are moving in the opposite direction/backwards.
If a person walks 3 blocks East and 4 blocks North what is the displacement of the person?
5 blocks
How many miles from NJ to maui?
The distance between the above places is 4948 miles. This distance is point to point straight distance as seen on the map. The actual distance covered by a flight may vary according to the flight path chosen. Also this is not the airport to airport distance.
What is the displacement of a person who leaves her porch to walk 1 mile then returns in 30 minutes?
Overall, if she return to the same spot, then there is zero displacement -- they haven't moved.
