On his fishing trip justine takes the boat 12 km south. the fish aren't biting so he goes 4 km west. he follows a school of fish 1 km north. what distance did he cover? what was his displacement?

[ Please make a chart by following the directions on your own, 'cause it's hard to explain, here (only directions), magnitudes and answers are here ] :

Distance = 12 + 4+ 1 = 17 Km
[Just add all the values ]

Displacement, Now, if you'll look at your triangle, which has formed by his directions, perpendicular is 11, base is 4, & you need to calculate that hypotenuse which is your displacement.

So, apply Pythagoras Theorem here:
H² = P² + B²
H² = 11² + 4²
H²= 121 + 16
H = √137= 11.70 Km

In short, Distance = 17 Km and Displacement = 11.70 Km

Hope this helps!

Answer from: Quest

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

$f\alpha \frac{dp}{dt}$

⇒ $f= k \frac{dp}{dt}$

here k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

$f=\frac{dp}{dt}$

$f= \frac{d[mv]}{dt}$

$f= m\frac{dv}{dt} +v\frac{dm}{dt}$

$f=ma+v\frac{dm}{dt}$ [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
