A honeybee leaves the hive, traveling at a speed of 4 mph and returns 1 hour later. What was the distance traveled and the displacement of the honeybee in miles.

This question appear incomplete

Explanation:

This question appear incomplete because of the absence of the time the honeybee spent while travelling from the hive. However, if we are to assume that the honeybee spent the same amount of time leaving/travelling as when it was returning. Then the formula to be used is

Speed = distance ÷ time

distance = speed × time

distance = 4 × 1

distance = 4 miles

To determine the displacement of the honeybee, the total distance covered by the honeybee in both to and fro journey will have to be summed (this is because displacement is a vector quantity).

Assuming the the speed and time spent while returning is the same with those spent while leaving, then the displacement will be distance × 2 (sum of all the distance covered)

Thus; 4 × 2 = 8 miles

nah.   i'm just sleepy.

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
