Displacement is a vector quantity. So, you incorporate the vector calculations when you try to determine the resultant vector. This is the shortest path from the starting point to the endpoint. If they are moving on one axis only, you use sign conventions. For motions moving to the left, use the negative sign. If it's moving to the right, then use the positive sign. Now, it the object moves 2 km to the left, and 2 km also to the right, the displacement is zero.
Displacement = 2 km - 2km = 0
Generally, the equation is:
<span>Displacement = Distance of motion to the right - Distance of motion to the left</span>
Answer:
4.80 seconds
Explanation:
The velocity of sound is obtained from;
V= 2d/t
Where;
V= velocity of sound = 329.2 ms-1
d= distance from the wall = 790.5 m
t= time = the unknown
t= 2d/V
t= 2 × 790.5/ 329.2
t= 4.80 seconds
To determine the distance of the light that has traveled given the time it takes to travel that distance, we need a relation that would relate time with distance. In any case, it would be the speed of the motion or specifically the speed of light that is travelling which is given as 3x10^8 meters per second. So, we simply multiply the time to the speed. Before doing so, we need to remember that the units should be homogeneous. We do as follows:
distance = 3x10^8 m/s ( 8.3 min ) ( 60 s / 1 min ) = 1.494x10^11 m
Since we are asked for the distance to be in kilometers, we convert
distance = 1.494x10^11 m ( 1 km / 1000 m) = 149400000 km
Answer:
The voltage across the resistor is zero, and the voltage across the capacitor is equal to the terminal voltage of the battery.
Explanation:
This is because when a capacitor is charged no current or voltage flows through it so it will have a voltage equal to the terminal voltage of the battery
