A jogger runs 3 miles east then 7 miles west what is her displacement

4 miles.

Explanation:

Let's use the rectangular coordinates (x,y)

And define:

East as the positive x-axis.

North as the positive y-axis.

We know that, if the jogger starts at the point (0mi, 0mi):

"Runs 3 miles East"

Then the new position is (3mi, 0mi)

"Then 7 miles west"

The new position is (3mi - 7mi, 0mi) = (-4mi, 0mi)

Now, the displacement is calculated as the difference between the initial position and the final position, and this can be written as:

D = I (-4mi, 0mi) - (0mi, 0mi)I = √( (-4mi - 0mi)^2 + (0mi - 0mi)^2) = 4mi

The total displacement is 4 miles.

when two balls of the different masses are dropped from equal height, they reach the ground at the same time .this is because they experience the same acceleration.

the acceleration is independent of mass.

thus when they are dropped they will always maintain the same velocity and travel the same distance (neglect air resistance of course) at the same time.
