1. David and Mat are training for the swimming team, swimming lengths of 25 metre pool. Mat swims four lengths in 125 seconds at a steady sped. A)After four lengths, how far has Mat swum? B)After four lengths, what is Mat's displacement?

a) Mat swum 100 meters.

b)after 4 length , Mat's displacement is zero.

Explanation:

As given, Mat and David are training for the swimming team , and Length of 1 side of the pool is 25 meter.

As swimming pool will be a cube or a cuboid , so it has only 4 sides.

a)

1 length = 23 meter

⇒4 length = 4×25 = 100 meter

So, Mat swam 100 meters.

b)

As after swam 4 lengths of the pool, Mat reaches to its initial position i.e Mat come back to its starting point.

As Displacement is always measures from the starting point.

So, after 4 length , Mat's displacement is zero.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
