Homework Equations
Not sure about this? (this is what I am confused about)
The Attempt at a Solution
No attempt :(
RobLikesBrunc said:To help you get started:
1. Write down the equation that describes the displacement (distance in this problem) of the Canadian skier and then the Norwegian skier.
2. What does it mean (think in terms of the above equations) for the Canadian skier to overtake the Norwegian skier? What condition must be satisfied?
RobLikesBrunc said:I have no idea what d2 and d1 are.
As for 2, you didn't really answer the question. The Canadian skier overtakes the Norwegian skier when they've gone the same distance.
What equation describes the distance that the Canadian skier has gone in some time t? And what equation describes the distance that the Norwegian skier has gone?
tarun766 said:Yes I am not sure about the answer that is why I am asking here.
RobLikesBrunc said:If you still can't even attempt the problem after what I've told you, you need to go back and actually learn the material.
The displacement of the Canadian skier is given by:
[tex]x = x_{0} + v_{i}t + \frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex].
The displacement of the Norwegian skier is given by:
[tex]x = x_{0} + v_{i}t[/tex].
You do the rest.
The motion displacement problem refers to the difficulty in measuring the exact position of an object as it moves from one point to another due to factors such as distance, speed, and direction.
The motion displacement problem is caused by the combination of the object's distance, speed, and direction, which makes it challenging to accurately determine its position at any given time.
The motion displacement problem can be solved by using mathematical equations such as displacement, velocity, and acceleration to calculate the object's position at different points in time.
Some real-life examples of motion displacement problem include tracking the position of a moving car or a ball thrown in the air, determining the location of a moving aircraft, or calculating the position of a satellite in orbit.
Understanding motion displacement problem is essential in various fields such as physics, engineering, and navigation, as it allows for accurate measurement and prediction of an object's position during motion, leading to the development of efficient and safe technologies.
