The total displacement of the person walking from point A to point B is 300 yards.

As shown in the figure we can conclude that the required method to calculate the total displacement is the Pythagoras theorem.

<h3>Pythagoras theorem in brief :</h3>

According to the Pythagorean Theorem, the square that represents the hypotenuse, or side of a right triangle that faces the right angle, is equal to the total of the squares on the triangle's legs.(or, in popular algebraic notation, a^2 + b^2 = c^2).

<h3>Calculation: </h3>

Let,

a = 500

b=  300

Hence by using Pythagoras' theorem

Total displacement of the person = \sqrt{500^{2}  + 300^{2} } = \sqrt{900000} = 300

Thus the total displacement of the person from starting point is 300 yards.

Suppose the sphere is electrically neutral. Is it attracted to
Elden [556K]

Answer:

No, it is not attracted.

Explanation:

If any sphere is electrically neutral it is not attracted. The materials which are attracted by magnet are called magnetic material whereas which are not attracted are called non magnetic material. Sphere made up of non magnetic materials such as glass, wood, paper will not attracted weather is kept near north pole or near south pole.

How much force is required to accelerate a 2 kg mass at 3 m/s2
swat32

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)                  Newton's second law of motion.

Force = (2 kg) x (3 m/s²)  =  6 newtons.

The atomic number is the simply the number of protons in the atom. So in the first row with atomic number 2, the number of protons is 2.

If the atom has no charge, which I think you can assume for all of these, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. So the number of electrons is also 2.

The number of neutrons (which are the particles with no charge in the nucleus) is simply the mass number minus the atomic number i.e. 4 - 2 = 2.

The isotopic symbol is the symbol which is found on the periodic table of elements. There are 2 numbers associated which each element on the table. The larger is the mass number and the smaller is the atomic number. The atomic number or number of protons is what identifies the element. Looking at the periodic table ( https://sciencenotes.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/PeriodicTableOfTheElementsBW.pdf or https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table_(big) ), it can be seen that the element on the first row above with an atomic number of 2 is Helium with a symbol He. The number that is included with the name is simply the mass number which is 4 in this case, which tells us that this type of helium has 2 neutrons.

Another type (or isotope) of helium is Helium-3 which has one neutron.
