Let us assume a man travelled from a point A to a point B over a distance 'd'. After a while he travels the same distance back to point A.

Therefore, since his initial and final positions are the same, displacement is equal to zero, and the distance travelled is (d + d) = 2d, which is not zero.

A 24.7-g bullet is fired from a rifle. It takes 2.73 × 10-3 s for the bullet to travel the length of the barrel, and it exits th
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

F_a_v_g=7093333.33N*s

Explanation:

The impulse or average force in classical mechanics is the variation in the linear momentum that a physical object experiences in a closed system. It is defined by the following equation:

F_a_v_g=m*\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=m*\frac{v_2-v_1}{t_2-t_1}

Where:

m=mass\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}object

v_2=final\hspace{3}velocity\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}object\hspace{3}at\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}end\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}time\hspace{3}interval

v_1=initial\hspace{3}velocity\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}object\hspace{3}when\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}time\hspace{3}interval\hspace{3}begins.

t_2=final\hspace{3}time

t_1=initial\hspace{3}time

Asumming v1=0 and t1=0:

F_a_v_g=m* \frac{v_2}{t_2} =(24.7)*\frac{784}{2.73*10^{*3} } =7093333.333N*s

Two pendulum bobs have equal masses and lengths (8.100 m). bob a is initially held horizontally while bob b hangs vertically at
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
Since both hv same mass and elsstic collision, so their velocity will exchange. Bob A will stop and bob B will move with speed of A just before the collision.

Speed will be = squreroot ( 2*g*L)

L is length of pendulum

You are working at a company that manufactures electri- cal wire. Gold is the most ductile of all metals: it can be stretched in
Alona [7]

Explanation:

We know that the relation between volume and density is as follows.

      Volume = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{density}}

So,       V = \frac{10^{-3}}{19.3 \times 10^{3} kg/m^{3}}

               = 5.181 \times 10^{-8} m^{3}

Now, we will calculate the area as follows.

      Area = \frac{\text{volume}}{\text{length}}

               = \frac{5.181 \times 10^{-8} m^{3}}{2.4 \times 10^{3}}

               = 2.15 \times 10^{-11} m^{2}

Formula to calculate the resistance is as follows.

         R = \rho \frac{l}{A}

             = \frac{2.44 \times 10^{-8} \times 2400}{}2.15 \times 10^{-11}}

             = 2.71 \times 10^{6} ohm

Thus, we can conclude that the resistance of given wire is 2.71 \times 10^{6} ohm.

The equation below is for potassium oxide.
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: The ratio of atoms of potassium to ratio of atoms of oxygen is 4:2

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed, and remains conserved. The mass of products must be same as that of the reactants.

Thus the number of atoms of each element must be same on both sides of the equation so as to keep the mass same and thus balanced chemical equations are written.

K exists as atoms and oxygen exist as molecule which consists of 2 atoms. The ratio of number of atoms on both sides of the reaction are same and thus the ratio of atoms of potassium to ratio of atoms of oxygen is 4:2.

What are the periodic variations in Earth's rotation and orbit around the sun that alter the way solar radiation is distributed
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

1. The precession of the equinoxes.

2. Changes in the tilt angle of Earth’s rotational axis relative to the plane of Earth’s orbit around the Sun.

3. Variations in the eccentricity

Explanation:

These variations listed above;  the precession of the equinoxes (refers, changes in the timing of the seasons of summer and winter), this occurs on  a roughly about 26,000-year interval; changes in the tilt angle of Earth’s rotational axis relative to the plane of Earth’s orbit around the Sun, this occurs roughly in a 41,000-year interval; and changes in the eccentricity (that is a departure from a perfect circle) of Earth’s orbit around the Sun, occurring on a roughly 100,000-year timescale. which influences the mean annual solar radiation at the top of Earth’s atmosphere.
