find the following for path a in the figure below.\n(a) the distance traveled (in m)\n(b) the magnitude of…

Explanation:

Step1: Identify start and end points for path A

Path A starts at (x = 0) and ends at (x = 10)

Step2: Calculate distance traveled

The object moves from (x = 0) to (x = 10) in a straight - line. The distance traveled (d) is the length of the path. Since it moves in a straight line from (x = 0) to (x = 10), (d=10 - 0=10) m.

Step3: Calculate magnitude of displacement

Displacement (\Delta x=x_f - x_i), where (x_f = 10) m and (x_i = 0) m. The magnitude of displacement (|\Delta x|=|10 - 0| = 10) m.

Step4: Calculate displacement

Displacement (\Delta x=x_f - x_i), with (x_f = 10) m and (x_i = 0) m, so (\Delta x=10-0 = 10) m.

Answer:

(a) 10 (b) 10 (c) 10
