Answer: 140 m

Explanation:

Let's begin by stating clear that motiont is the change of position of a body at a certain time. So, during this motion, the balloon will have a trajectory and a displacement, being both different:

The<u> trajectory</u> is <u>the path followed by the body, the distance it travelled</u> (is a scalar quantity).  

The displacement is <u>the distance in a straight line between the initial and final position</u> (is a vector quantity).  

So, according to this, the distance the balloon traveled during the first 45 s (its trajectory) is 140 m.

But, if we talk about displacement, we have to draw a straight line between the initial position of the balloon (point 0) to its final position (point 90 m).  Being its displacement 95 m.

lukranit [14]

Answer:

By 16.7% or 0.167 IPM

Explanation:

Substracting the final IPM (6.088) to the initial IPM (5.921) gives us the net difference, which is how much did it increase in IPM. Multiplying this number by 100 gives us the percentual increase in the feed rate.

Of waterfalls with a height of more than 50 m , Niagara Falls in Canada has the highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world.
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Power output: W=1426.9MW

Explanation:

The power output of the falls is given mainly by its change in potential energy:

Q=-P_{tot}=-(P_{2}-P_{1})

The potential energy for any point can be calculated as:

P=m*g*h

If we consider the base of the falls to be the reference height, at point 2 h=0, so P2=0, and height at point 1 equals 52m:

Q=P_{1}=m*g*h

If we replace m with the mass rate M we obtain the rate of change in potential energy over time, so the power generated:

W=M*g*h=2.8*10^{3}m^{3}/s*1*10^{3}kg/m^{3}*9.8m/s^{2}*52m =1426.9MW

Susie walks 3 blocks north to the local CVS store, then 4 blocks east to her grandmother’s house. She then walks 2 blocks west a
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Suzie is 3 blocks north of where she started

Explanation:

Displacement is the minimum distance between the initial and final point of motion.

Here, Suzie first walks 3 blocks north. From there she walks 4 blocks east. Then 2 blocks to the east then 2 blocks north and then 2 blocks east. She covered 4 blocks east toward west. This is the same distance she covered traveling east. But she is 2 blocks north. From there she traveled a block south to the pizzeria and another block to her friends house. She covered the two block she had traveled north.

Hence, Suzie is 3 blocks north of where she started.
