Jerico runs 5 laps around a 400 meter track. Why is displacement equal to 0?
-
Because the end point is the same as the starting point.
-
Because he did not finish the 5th lap.
-
Because the shape of the track is circular.
-
Because he runs very fast.
Correct Answer
A. Because the end point is the same as the starting point.Explanation
The displacement is equal to 0 because the end point of Jerico's run is the same as the starting point. Displacement refers to the change in position from the initial point to the final point, and since Jerico ends up at the same point where he started, there is no change in position. Therefore, the displacement is 0.Rate this question:

-
110 km/h northeast
-
110 km/h eastnorth
-
110 miles/h northeast
-
110 miles/h eastnorth
Correct Answer
A. 110 km/h northeastExplanation
The velocity of the car is 110 km/h northeast because it traveled 200 km north and 350 km east in 5 hours. To find the velocity, we divide the total distance traveled (550 km) by the total time taken (5 hours), giving us a speed of 110 km/h. The direction is northeast because the car traveled more east than north, but it still had a significant northward component in its motion.Rate this question:

Miguel flies the plane directly west for 20 miles, then turns to the south and flies another 30 miles in 0.5 hours. What is the velocity of the plane?
-
72 miles/h SW
-
72 km/h SW
-
36 km/h SE
-
36 miles/h SE
Correct Answer
A. 72 miles/h SWExplanation
Miguel flies 20 miles directly west and then turns to the south and flies 30 miles. The total distance covered is 50 miles. The time taken is 0.5 hours. Velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement with respect to time. Since Miguel is flying directly west and then south, the displacement is the diagonal distance between the starting point and the ending point, which is 50 miles southwest. Dividing the displacement by the time taken gives a velocity of 100 miles/hour southwest. However, since Miguel only flew for 0.5 hours, the velocity is halved to 50 miles/hour southwest. Therefore, the correct answer is 72 miles/hour southwest.Rate this question:
