A car travels 3 km north, then turns and travels 4 km west. What is the car's displacement?

Physics

Olin [163]3 years ago

Explanation:

Displacement = Shortest path Travelled from starting point to final point..

Displacement formula = <em>Final</em><em> </em><em>position</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em> </em><em>Initial</em><em> </em><em>position</em>

= 7km - 3km

= 4km

^Displacement is 4km

"Displacement" is the straight-line distance and direction between the start-point and the end-point, regardless of what route was taken to get there.

If you draw a picture of how this car traveled, you'll see that it drove along two legs of a right triangle. I'm guessing the driver probably decided to stay on the streets, instead of driving the STRAIGHT line across people's lawns to get to the grocery store.  if a BIRD wanted to make the same trip, it would just fly in a straight line, straight over houses and yards.

The bird would fly along the hypotenuse of the right triangle.  The distance would be  √(3² + 4²).

That's √(9 + 16), which is √(25), and that's 5 km .

'Displacement' is a vector, and it also needs a direction.

After driving 3km north and 4km west, you are 5km roughly Northwest of where you started from.  (actually 53.1° west of north)

The car's displacement is 5 km , 53.1° west of north,

or <em>5 km at an azimuth of 306.9°</em> .

If an atom has an atomic number of 2, it will be stable with 2 electrons in its valence shell. Group of answer choices True Fals
torisob [31]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or the number of electrons that are present in an electrically neutral atom.

Atomic number = Number of protons = number of electrons = 2

Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.

The electronic configuration will be 1s^2

As its duplet is already complete and it has noble gas configuration , it is stable with 2 valence electrons.
