Maria took a walk to the store. During Maria's trip, when was her displacement equal to zero ?

Displacement is different from distance in a sense that distance takes into account all the points moved by an object while displacement is the shortest way between the initial and final position. In this case, the displacement of Maria would be equal to zero if she return back home.

Explain how atoms of elements form molecules, compounds and mixtures.
katrin2010 [14]

An element is composed of millions of atoms and a compound is composed of molecules. When an atom reacts with another atom, a molecule is formed.

For example, if sodium reacts with chloride, it forms sodium chloride (Common salt). Here, sodium and chloride are elements and sodium chloride is a molecule. In this way, millions of atoms of sodium reacts with chloride and forms common salt.

Again, when the common salt is mixed with other compounds such as water, it forms a mixture.

An 800-N billboard worker stands on a 4.0-m scaffold supported by vertical ropes at each end. If the scaffold weighs 500 N and t
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

T = 850 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of billboard worker = 800 N

length of scaffold = 4 m

weight of the scaffold = 500 N

worker is standing at 1 m from one end.

Tension in the rope = ?

To calculate the tension in the string we have to balance the clockwise and counterclockwise moment of the system.

Weight of the worker and the weight of the scaffold will be in clockwise direction where as the tension will be in counterclockwise direction

now,

800 x 3 + 500 x 2 = T x 4

4T = 3400

T = 850 N

hence, tension in the rope is equal to 850 N

It is desired to create a particle of mass 7920 MeV/c^2 in a head-on collision between a proton and an antiproton (each having a
Olegator [25]

Answer:

v=0.9714c

Explanation:

The kinetic energy possessed by  particles will be  

K.E=\frac{1}{2}Mc^2

where,

M is the mass of the particle (7920938.3 MeV/c²)

c is the speed of the light

Also,

energy of the proton particle = \frac{m_pc^2}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}

where,

v is the velocity

m_p is the mass of the proton (938.3 MeV/c²)

since the energy is equal

thus,

\frac{m_pc^2}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}=\frac{1}{2}Mc^2

or

1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}=[\frac{2m_p}{M}]^2

substituting the values in the above equation, we get

1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}=[\frac{2\times 938.3 }{7920}]^2

or

v=0.9714c

Hence,<u> the speed necessary for the specified condition to occur is </u><u>0.9714 times the speed of the light</u>
