A child rides a pony on a circular track whose radius is 5.25 m. a) Find the distance traveled and the displacement after the ch

ild has gone halfway around the track. b) Does the distance traveled increase, decrease or stay the same when the child completed one circuit of the track?

Answer:

a) The distance covered halfway = 16.49 [m], while the displacement at that point = 10.5 [m]b)

The distance traveled increases

when the child finishes one lap around the track.

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Distance is a scalar measurement

that indicates how much ground an object has traversed in motion. Contrarily, displacement is a vector measurement which describes how far an object is from its original position after moving.

In this scenario, the child travels halfway around the circular track from point 1 to point 2. We know that the circumference or perimeter of a circle can be calculated as 2*PI*radius. Since the child only covers half the distance, we need to divide the circumference by 2, leading to distance = PI*radius

The halfway distance = (PI)*(5.25) = 16.49 [m]
Considering the definition of displacement, it’s clear that the distance from point 1 to point 2 equals one diameter from the starting point:

The halfway displacement = D = 2*radius = 2(5.25) = 10.5 [m]

b) What occurs to the distance after the child completes one full circuit? The distance will increase since the child covers more ground during the full lap:

  • The distance for one circuit = 2*(PI)*radius = 2(PI)(5.25) = 32.99 [m]

32.99 is greater than 16.49, confirming that the distance does indeed increase.

AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

The correct selection is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The histogram indicates that

In the 5-10 age group, there are 7 students.

In the 11-13 age group, 5 students are represented.

In the 14-18 age category, 4 students are included.

This implies that the ages of 7 students fall within the 5-10 range, 5 students within the 11-13 range, and 4 students within the 14-18 range.

The total count in the dataset is 7+5+4=16

In options 3 and 4, the counts in the datasets are fewer than 16. Hence, options 3 and 4 are invalid.

Option 2 exclusively contains data within the 5-10 range, making it incorrect as well.

In option 1,

Class intervals      elements           frequency

5-10                    5,6,7,8,9,10,10           7

11-13                  11,11,12,12,13            5

14-18                    14,14,15,16              4

Based on the above table, we can determine that data set 1 is represented in the provided histogram.

Thus, the answer is option 1.
