Answer:
- The total distance traveled is 28 inches.
- The displacement is 2 inches to the east.
Explanation:
Lets put a frame of reference in the problem. Starting the frame of reference at the point with the 0-inch mark, and making the unit vector pointing in the west direction, the ant start at position
Then, moves to
so, the distance traveled here is
after this, the ant travels to
so, the distance traveled here is
The total distance traveled will be:
The displacement is the final position vector minus the initial position vector:
This is 2 inches to the east.
Answer:
26.67 m/s
Explanation:
From the law of conservation of linear momentum, the initial sum of momentum equals the final sum.
p=mv where p is momentum, m is the mass of object and v is the speed of the object
Initial momentum
The initial momentum will be that of basketball and volleyball, Since basketball is initially at rest, its initial velocity is zero
Final momentum
