Answer: B

Explanation:

Displacement is a vector quantity. it is the distance covered in a specific direction.

Whereas, Velocity = displacement/time

Make displacement the subject of formula

Displacement = velocity × time

From the graph, velocity is constant which is equal to 1 m/s

Displacement in the last two seconds will be velocity multiply by 2. Since time = 2s. Therefore,

Displacement = 1 × 2 = 2 m

So, the particle displacement in the last two seconds will be 2 metres

What do you mean by velocity ratio of a wheel and axle

IgorC [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

In wheel and axle. …with the system is the velocity ratio, or the ratio of the velocity (VF) with which the operator pulls the rope at F to the velocity at which the weight W is raised (VW). This ratio is equal to twice the radius of the large drum divided by the difference…

As you tune your radio to a higher frequency, from 88.5 FM to 103.3 FM, the wavelength of the wave that you are tuning in

olga_2 [115]

the relation that relates the speed of wave, frequency of wave and wavelength is given as

wavelength = $\frac{speed}{frequency}$

the speed of wave in a medium remains constant. hence the wavelength is inversely related to the frequency of wave.

that means, as the frequency is increased, the wavelength decreases and vice versa.

hence the correct choice is

B decreases

A point charge of -4.28 pC is fixed on the y-axis, 2.79 mm from the origin. What is the electric field produced by this charge a

makkiz [27]

Answer:

E = (-3.61^i+1.02^j) N/C

magnitude E = 3.75N/C

Explanation:

In order to calculate the electric field at the point P, you use the following formula, which takes into account the components of the electric field vector:

$\vec{E}=-k\frac{q}{r^2}cos\theta\ \hat{i}+k\frac{q}{r^2}sin\theta\ \hat{j}\\\\\vec{E}=k\frac{q^2}{r}[-cos\theta\ \hat{i}+sin\theta\ \hat{j}]$ (1)

Where the minus sign means that the electric field point to the charge.

k: Coulomb's constant = 8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2

q = -4.28 pC = -4.28*10^-12C

r: distance to the charge from the point P

The point P is at the point (0,9.83mm)

θ: angle between the electric field vector and the x-axis

The angle is calculated as follow:

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{2.79mm}{9.83mm})=74.15\°$

The distance r is:

$r=\sqrt{(2.79mm)^2+(9.83mm)^2}=10.21mm=10.21*10^{-3}m$

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

$\vec{E}=(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)\frac{4.28*10^{-12}C}{(10.21*10^{-3}m)}[-cos(15.84\°)\hat{i}+sin(15.84\°)\hat{j}]\\\\\vec{E}=(-3.61\hat{i}+1.02\hat{j})\frac{N}{C}\\\\|\vec{E}|=\sqrt{(3.61)^2+(1.02)^2}\frac{N}{C}=3.75\frac{N}{C}$

The electric field is E = (-3.61^i+1.02^j) N/C with a a magnitude of 3.75N/C

A 6.0 m section of wire carries a current of 5.2 A from east to west in the earth's magnetic field of 1.0 × 105 T at a location

NNADVOKAT [17]

Well, since you only want direction, ignore the numbers. Use the right hand rule.
Current (pointer finger) points west (left).
Magnetic field (middle finger) points south (towards you).
Force (thumb) then points up (away from the earth)
