Answer:

The air is contained at a high pressure in the tube. When it escapes from a small orifice, it suddenly expands. A large amount of its heat is absorbed in the process of expansion resulting in considerable fall in its temperature. This is why the escaping air feels cold.

A person travelled 350 m east from his home and returns back home an hour has displacement of_?

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

vector of zero magnitude

Explanation:

The displacement is a vector magnitude, therefore, in addition to being a module, it has direction and sense.

In this case it moved 350 m and then returned the same 350 m, so the total displacement is zero.

If we draw the vector, one has a directional direction to the right and the other direction to the left, therefore when adding the two vectors gives a vector of zero magnitude
