Answer:

distance or displacement

Explanation:

the answer can be displacement or displacement. if the required measure is between two points, we can call it as distance. but if we are to find the distance moved, we call it displacement. though it sounds pretty similar, they are very different. displacement is the shortest distance of movement of a body to its final point (or to the asked point) and distance is the total distance travelled by the body. and while distance is a scalar quantity, that this value shows the magnitude, displacement is a vector quantity, that this value should show both magnitude and direction.

for example if an object travels from point A to point B that is a 10 meters away and back, the distance will be 10+10 which is 20 meters. but the displacement is 0!

since not much information is given, the answer can be both distance or displacement

Describe two experiments to determine the speed of propagation of a transverse wave on a rope. You have the following tools to u

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

#See solution for details.

Explanation:

Tools: $stopwatch, \ meter \ stick, \ mass \ measuring \ scale , \ force \ measuring \ device$ .

$Experiment \ 1$ :Calculate the speed of the wave using the time, $t$ it takes to travel along the rope. Rope's length, $L$ is measured using the meter stick.

-Attach one end of rope to a wall or post, shake from the unfixed end to generate a pulse. Measure the the time it takes for the pulse to reach the wall once it starts traveling using the stopwatch.

-Speed of the pulse can then be obtained as:

$v=\frac{L}{t}$

$Experiment \ 2$ : Apply force of known value to the rope then use the following relation equation to find the speed of a pulse that travels on the rope.

$v=\sqrt{\frac{F}{\mu}}\ ,\mu=\frac{m}{L}$

-Use the measuring stick and measuring scale to determine $L,m$ values of the rope then obtain $\mu$ .

-Use the force measuring constant to determine $F$ . These values can the be substituted in $Experiment \ 1$ to obtain $v.$

A coil of 150 turns of wire is in the form of a circle of radius 7.5 cm, and sits in the center of a dipole magnet that produces

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Current in the loop is 0.063 A

Explanation:

Number of turns in the coil N = 150

Radius of the circular loop r = 7.5 cm = 0.075 m

So area $A=\pi r^2=3.14\times 0.075^2=0.0176m^2$

Magnetic field B = 1.5 T

Maximum torque is given $\tau =0.25Nm$

We have to find current in the coil

Torque on circular coil in magnetic field is equal to

$\tau =BINA$

$0.25=1.5\times I\times 150\times 0.0176$

I = 0.063 A

What are momentum and impulse?

dybincka [34]

Momentum definition: the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity.

Impulse definition: change of momentum of an object when the object is acted upon by a force for an interval of time

These are the definitions.

Hope this helps!

The atomic number of magnesium is 12. This means that its nucleus must contain

lana [24]

The correct answer is D) 12 protons and no electrons. This is correct because the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is 12. The number of protons in the nucleus represents the atomic number. Therefore if there are 12 protons in the nucleus, the atomic number is 12.
