A student analyzed the motion of an object in two different ways. In one, she summed up the distances traveled by the object. In the other, she added the displacement vectors. The distance sum was a large positive number, while the sum of the vectors was one short displacement vector with a small positive magnitude. Which of the following statements is most likely true? A. The student made a mathematical error in the distance summing.
B. The student should have added the distances to the displacements.
C. The object's final location was near its initial location.
D. The magnitude of the sum of the displacement vectors should have been the same as the sum of the distances.

As part of your daily workout, you lie on your back and push with your feet against a platform attached to two stiff springs arranged side by side so that they are parallel to each other. when you push the platform, you compress the springs. you do an amount of work of 79.0 j when you compress the springs a distance of 0.230 m from their uncompressed length. (a) what magnitude of force must you apply to hold the platform in this position? (b)how much additional work must you do to move the platform a distance 0.230 m farther? (c) what maximum force must you apply to move the platform a distance 0.230 m farther?
