I need help with this question. "A bug walks exactly halfway around the edge of a circular cupcake with a diameter of 5 cm".
displacement is, of course, 5 cm
distance = 1/2 * 5π = 7.854 cm
And forgot to add, what is the Distance and Displacement?
Sure, I can help you with that! What would you like to know about the bug walking halfway around the edge of a circular cupcake with a diameter of 5 cm?
To find the distance the bug walks, we can first calculate the circumference of the cupcake.
The diameter of the cupcake is given as 5 cm. The formula to calculate the circumference of a circle is C = πd, where C is the circumference and d is the diameter.
Using the given diameter of 5 cm, we can find the circumference as follows:
C = πd
C = π * 5 cm
C = 15.7 cm (approximately)
So, the circumference of the cupcake is approximately 15.7 cm.
Since the bug walks exactly halfway around the edge of the cupcake, the distance it walks will be half of the circumference.
Distance walked by the bug = (1/2) * Circumference
Substituting the value of the circumference, we get:
Distance = (1/2) * 15.7 cm
Distance = 7.85 cm
Therefore, the bug walks approximately 7.85 cm.
