Distance is the total amount they each walked. Zamir took a longer path. Their displacement is the difference from where they started and where they stopped. Their displacement is the same because they both ended at the same position as they started.

Sample Response: Zamir and Talia’s total distances are different because they walked different paths in the maze. Zamir took a longer path. However, they had the same displacement because they both ended at the same position.

Two identical vertical springs S1 and S2 have masses m1 = 400 g and m2 = 800 g attached to them. If m1 causes spring S1 to stret
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

potential energy = mgh

= 400÷1000 × 10× 4÷100

= 0.4 × 10 × 0.04

=4/10 ×10×4/100

= 4/10 × 4/10

=16/100

= 0.16 joules

m1 (400) stretches 4cm

m1 (100g) stretches 1cm

so, m2(800g) stretches 8 cm

potential energy of m2 = mgh

= 800/1000 ×10×8/100

= 0.8 × 0.8

=8/10 ×8/10

= 64/100

=0.64 joules

Ratio of s1 to s2

16/100 ÷ 64/100

= 1:4 ( answer)

A boy flies a kite with the string at a 30∘ angle to the horizontal. The tension in the string is 4.5 N. Part A Part complete Ho
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Work done is zero

Explanation:

given data

Angle of kite with horizontal =  30 degree

tension in the string =  4.5 N

WE KNOW THAT

Work =  force * distance

horizontal force =  Tcos\theta = 4.5*cos30 = 3.89 N

DISTANCE = 0 as boy stands still. therefore

work done = 3.89 *0 = 0

Four fixed point charges are at the corners of a square with sides of length L. Q1 is positive and at (OL) Q2 is positive and at
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

A) See Annex

B) Fq₁₂ = K *  Q₁*Q₂ /16 [N] (repulsion force)

C)  Fq₃₂  = K * Q₃*Q₂ /16 [N] (repulsion force)

D) Fq₄₂ = K * Q₄*Q₂ /32 [N] (attraction force)

E) Net force (its components)

Fnx = (2,59/64 )* K*Q²  [N] in direction of original Fq₃₂

Fny =(2,59/64 )* K*Q² [N] in direction of original Fq₁₂

Explanation:

For calculation of d (diagonal of the square, we apply Pythagoras Theorem)

d² = L² + L²    ⇒  d² = 2*L²     ⇒ d = √2*L²   ⇒ d= (√2 )*L

d = 4√2 units of length   (we will assume meters, to work with MKS system of units)

B) Force of Q₁ exerts on charge Q₂

Fq₁₂  = K * Q₁*Q₂ /(L)²     Fq₁₂ = K *  Q₁*Q₂ /16 (repulsion force in the direction indicated in annex)

C) Force of Q₃ exerts on charge Q₂

Fq₃₂  = K * Q₃*Q₂ /(L)²     Fq₃₂  = K * Q₃*Q₂ /16  (repulsion force in the direction indicated in annex)

D) Force of -Q₄ exerts on charge Q₂

Fq₄₂ = K * Q₄*Q₂ / (d)²      Fq₄₂ = K * Q₄*Q₂ /32 (Attraction force in the direction indicated in annex)

E) Net force in the case all charges have the same magnitude Q (keeping the negative sign in Q₄)

Let´s take the force that  Q₄ exerts on Q₂  and Q₂ = Q  ( magnitude) and

Q₄ = -Q

Then the force is:

F₄₂ = K * Q*Q / 32       F₄₂  = K* Q²/32  [N]

We should get its components

F₄₂(x) = [K*Q²/32 ]* √2/2   and so is F₄₂(y)  =  [K*Q²/32 ]* √2/2

Note that this components have opposite direction than forces  Fq₁₂  and

Fq₃₂  respectively, and that Fq₁₂ and Fq₃₂ are bigger than F₄₂(x) and  F₄₂(y) respectively

In new conditions

Fq₁₂ = K *  Q₁*Q₂ /16    becomes  Fq₁₂ = K * Q²/ 16 [N]   and

Fq₃₂ = K* Q₃*Q₂ /16      becomes   Fq₃₂ = K* Q² /16  [N]

Note that Fq₁₂ and Fq₃₂ are bigger than F₄₂(x) and  F₄₂(y) respectively

Then over x-axis we subtract Fq₃₂ - F₄₂(x)  = Fnx

and over y-axis, we subtract   Fq₁₂ - F₄₂(y) = Fny

And we get:

Fnx = K* Q² /16 - [K*Q²/32 ]* √2/2  ⇒  Fnx =  K*Q² [1/16 - √2/64]

Fnx = (2,59/64 )* K*Q²

Fny has the same magnitude  then

Fny =(2,59/64 )* K*Q²

The fact that Fq₁₂ and Fq₃₂ are bigger than F₄₂(x) and  F₄₂(y) respectively, means that Fnx and Fny remains as repulsion forces

Under what conditions does q, the heat evolved or absorbed by the system in a physical or chemical process, equal the change in
Paladinen [302]

Answer: When w=-P\Delta V

Explanation:

According to first law of thermodynamics, energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. It can only be transformed from one form to another.

\Delta H=\Delta E+P\Delta V

\Delta E=q+w

\Delta H = change in enthalpy

P = pressure

\Delta V = change in volume

\Delta E=Change in internal energy

q = heat absorbed or released

w = work done on or by the system

\Delta H=q+w+P\Delta V

Thus for \Delta E=q+w , w=-P\Delta V

The heat evolved or absorbed by the system in a physical or chemical process, equal the change in enthalpy of the system when w=-P\Delta V

In a calorimetry experiment, three samples A, B, and C with TA> TB> Tc are placed in thermal contact. When the samples hav
zaharov [31]

Answer:

e. TA>T>Tc

Explanation:

a) In this case, we cannot say for sure QA>QB>QC. This is because the magnitude of the heat flow will depend on the specific heat and the mass of each sample. Due to the equation:

Q=mC_{p}(T_{f}-T_{0})

if we did an energy balance of the system, we would get that>

QA+QB+QC=0

For this equation to be true, at least one of the heats must be negative. And one of the heats must be positive.

We don't know either of them, so we cannot determine if this statement is true.

b) We can say for sure that QA<0, because when the two samples get to equilibrum, the temperatrue of A must be smaller than its original temperature. Therefore, it must have lost heat. But we cannot say for sure if QB<0 because sample B could have gained or lost heat during the process, this will depend on the equilibrium temperature, which we don't know. So we cannot say for sure this option is correct.

c) In this case we don't know for sure if the equilibrium temperature will be greater or smaller than TB. This will depend on the mass and specific heat of the samples, just line in part a.

d) is not complete

e) We know for sure that A must have lost heat, so its equilibrium temperature must be smaller than it's original temperature. We know that C must have gained heat, therefore it's equilibrium temperature must be greater than it's original temperature, so TA>T>Tc must be true.
