A student on her way to school walks eastward in a straight line 20.0 meters towards the bus stop, but realizes she dropped her

physics notebook along the way and turns around to retrace her steps. She has traveled back 18.0 meters before finding it and then runs the remaining 45.0 meters due east to the bus stop. What is her total displacement? What is her total distance traveled?

Answer:

Total displacement will be 47 meter

Total distance will be 83 meters

Explanation:

We have given that first the student go eastward towards bus stop 20 meters

But he realizes that she dropped his physics notebook and so h=she turns back along the same way up to 18 meters

So displacement = 20-18 = 2 meters

And he travel 45 meters in east along the bus stop so total displacement = 45+2 = 47 meters

Total distance traveled by the student = 20+18+45 = 83 meters

The decomposition of ammonia to the elements is a first-order reaction with a half-life of 200 s at a certain temperature. How l
Feliz [49]

Based on the half-life of the reaction, time taken for the partial pressure of ammonia to decrease from 0.100 atm to 0.00625 atm is 800 seconds.

<h3>What is the half-life of a substance?</h3>

The half-life of a substance is the time taken for half the amount of atoms present in that substance to decay.

The half-life of the reaction is 200 seconds.

After, one half-life, pressure reduces to 0.0500 atm

After, two half-lives, pressure reduces to 0.0250 atm

After, three half-lives, pressure reduces to 0.01250 atm

After, four half-lives, pressure reduces to 0.00625 atm

Time taken = 4 * 200 = 800 seconds

Therefore, time taken for the partial pressure of ammonia to decrease from 0.100 atm to 0.00625 atm is 800 seconds.

A high school physics student is sitting in a seat read-
Nataly_w [17]

The equilibrium condition allows finding the result for the force that the chair exerts on the student is:

  • The reaction force that the chair exerts on the student's support is equal to the student's weight.

Newton's second law gives the relationship between force, mass and acceleration of bodies, in the special case that the acceleration is is zero equilibrium condition.

            ∑ F = 0

Where F is the external force.

The free body diagram is a diagram of the forces on bodies without the details of the shape of the body, in the attached we can see a diagram of the forces.

Let's analyze the force on the chair.

            N_{chair} - W_{chair} - W_{student} = 0 \\ \\N_{chair} = W_{chair} + W_{student}

Let's analyze the forces on the student.

          N_{student} - W_{student} = 0  \\N_{student} = W _{student}

           

In conclusion using the equilibrium condition we can find the result for the force that the chair exerts on the student is:

  • The reaction force that the chair exerts on the student's support is equal to the student's weight.

How are electromagnets and bar magnets alike and how are they different ?
lozanna [386]

An electromagnet is made from a coil of wire which acts as amagnet when an electric current passes through it. Often anelectromagnet is wrapped around a core of ferromagnetic material like steel, which enhances the magnetic field produced by the coil.
