EXAMPLES
Another student from STEM ENG 12B had to go to Fidelis
SHS to attend his GenPhys1 class. He had to walk 4 km due east and then 3 km due north. Determine the following: 1.What is the total distance travelled by the student every day? 2.What is the displacement of the student from his house to his school? EXAMPLES A particle moves along a line from 5 meter-mark to 12 meter- mark. Determine the following: 1. What is distance travelled by the particle? 2. What is the displacement of the particle? EXAMPLES The initial position of a particle is located along the (+) x-axis, 5m away from the origin. Determine the final position of the particle if its displacement is – 17 m. EXAMPLES Nezuko had to walk 8 km due east from her house to Starbucks to buy a drink. It took her 2 hours to reach the coffee shop. Determine the following: a) distance travelled b) displacement c) time interval d) average speed e) average velocity EXAMPLES Nezuko had to walk 8 km due east from her house to Starbucks to buy a drink. It took her 2 hours to reach the coffee shop. After buying the drink, Nezuko visited Zenitsu's house located 2 km east from the shop. It took her half an hour to reach it. Determine the following: a) distance travelled b) displacement c) time interval d) average speed e) average velocity EXAMPLES Nezuko had to walk 8 km due east from her house to Starbucks to buy a drink. It took her 2 hours to reach the coffee shop. After buying the drink, Nezuko visited Zenitsu's house located 2 km west from the shop. It took her half an hour to reach it. Determine the following: a) distance travelled b) displacement c) time interval d) average speed e) average velocity EXAMPLES Nezuko had to walk 8 km due east from her house to Starbucks to buy a drink. It took her 2 hours to reach the coffee shop. After buying the drink, Nezuko visited Zenitsu's house located 2 km east from the shop. It took her half an hour to reach it. After visiting Zenitsu's house, she went back home. It took her 2 hours to reach her home. Determine the following: a) distance travelled b) displacement c) time interval d) average speed e) average velocity EXAMPLES A runner accelerates from rest to a velocity of 10.0 meters per second due east in 2.0 seconds. What is the average acceleration of the runner? EXAMPLES Protons in a linear accelerator are accelerated from rest to 2.0 x 107 m/s in just 10-4 s. What is the average acceleration of the protons? EXAMPLES What is the acceleration of a particle that moves with uniform velocity? EXAMPLES Gobta's wolf accelerates from the speed of 20 kilometersper hour to 40 kilometers per hour in 20 seconds. What is the average acceleration of Gobta's wolf in meters per second per second?
