A man walks 30 meters forward then turns around walks backward 10 meters what is the displacement of the man?

20 meters.


Can you Determines your distance traveled and displacement if you want to hundred meters forward and then 35 m backwards?

The distance traveled would be 135 meters (100m forward + 35m backward). The displacement would be 65 meters forward (100m - 35m) as it measures the shortest distance from the initial point to the final point.


How much is your displacement and distance covered if you move 5 meters forward for 1 second and 5 meters back for another second?

If you have moved forward and backward, hence ending up at the same point you started, then displacement is zero. That's because Displacement takes into account the direction - hence a vector quantity.The distance only bothers about the distance - hence it doesn't matter if you came to where you started. So in total, 5 meters up and 5 down is 10. Distance = 10


What is your distance traveled and displacement if you walk 100 m forward and then 35 m backwards?

The distance traveled is 135 meters (100 m forward + 35 m backwards). However, the displacement is 65 meters forward (100 m - 35 m) since displacement is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position in a straight line.

What is your distance if you ride a bike 500 meters then turn around and ride back what is your displacement?

If you come back to the starting point your displacement is zero


A boy first walks 120 meters north then turns around and walks 120 meters south his total displacement is?

zero


What The Formula Of Displacement?

Displacement is the shortest distance travelled . formula of Displacement= speed * time in meters


What is the resulting displacement accomplished by Mary's walk?

Mary's walk resulted in a displacement of 500 meters east.


What displacement vectors of 3 meters and 5 meters in the same direction combine to make a displacement vector?

The combined displacement vector would be 8 meters in the same direction as the individual vectors, as you simply add the magnitudes of the vectors together.


If you exert a force of 4.5N on a book to slide it across a table and do 2.7J of work in the process how far have you moved the book?

Work Done = Force x Displacement 2.7 joules = 4.5 newtons x Displacement(in meters) Displacement = 0.6 meters


Demonstrate in terms of force what the net force would be on the girl running on a train if she runs towards the front of the train and if she runs towards the back of the train?

If the train is going at a constant speed, it will make no difference whether she runs forward or backward. There will only be a difference if it is accelerating or slowing down. If it is accelerating you tend to be thrown backward, so it is easier to run back than forward. If it is braking you are thrown forward so it is easier to run forward than backward. The force on the body is the product of the acceleration or retardation and the mass of the body: F (Newtons) = mass (kg) x acceleration (meters/sec2)
