Jake visits his relatives on Thanksgiving. He first travels to his parents’ place which is 5 miles straight north. He then travels to his grandparents’ which are 5 miles straight west from his parent’s house.
What is the total distance of Jake’s journey?

What is the total displacement of Jake’s Journey?(Hint: Use Pythagorean Theorem a2 + b2 = c2 )

The answer is as follows in the photo

W= fd
where f is an applied force and d is the distance over which it is applied. when a parachuting skydiver is at constant velocity, he is experiencing "terminal velocity", the point at which his acceleration down is canceled out by air resistance. that means that the resisting force of the air is equal to his weight, but in the opposite direction. with this, we can solve for the work done by the force.
w = fd
w = (92.0)(9.81 m/s^2) (325)
w= 2.93 x 10^5 j
the value for work in this case is positive because it is pushing up on the skydiver, who has a downward force of gravity.
therefore the answer is 2.93 x 10^5 j
