Answer:

55 m eastward

Explanation:

The relationship between velocity, displacement and time is:

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

where v is the velocity, d the displacement and t the time.

In this problem, we know:

- $v=0.11 km/h$ eastward is the velocity of the sloth

- $t=30.0 min = 0.5 h$ is the time of the motion

Therefore, we can find the displacement of the sloth by re-arranging the previous formula:

$d=vt=(0.11 km/h)(0.5 h)=0.055 km = 55 m$

and the direction is the same as the velocity (eastward).

Displacement is the total distance from the start point, so what you want to say is that in total, <span>If he moves 0.11 km in 60 minutes (km/h) then in 30 minutes he simply moved 0.055 km (half of 0.11 km) </span>

A spectral line from a star is observed to have a wavelength of 656.5 nm. The rest wavelength of this line is 656.8 nm. (a) What

nignag [31]

Answer:

speed of star is 1.37 × $10^{5}$ m/s

it is approaching to earth because wavelength of star is decreasing than rest

if emit same wavelength it does not move anywhere

it will remain steady condition with respect earth

Explanation:

given data

wavelength = 656.5 nm

rest wavelength = 656.8 nm

to find out

the speed of the star , is it approaching

solution

we know here equation that is

wavelength shift / wavelength at rest = velocity of source / speed of light

so put all value and find

velocity of source = 3 × $10^{-9}$ × 3 × $10^{8}$ / 656.8 × $10^{-9}$

velocity of source star = 1.37 × $10^{5}$ m/s

and

it is approaching to earth because wavelength of star is decreasing than rest

and

if emit same wavelength it does not move anywhere

it will remain steady condition with respect earth

A point charge Q is held at a distance r from the center of a dipole that consists of two charges ±q separated by a distance s.

marishachu [46]

Answer:

a) the magnitude of the force is

F= Q( $\frac{kqs}{r^3}$ ) and where k = 1/4πε₀

F = Qqs/4πε₀r³

b) the magnitude of the torque on the dipole

τ = Qqs/4πε₀r²

Explanation:

from coulomb's law

E = $\frac{kq}{r^{2} }$

where k = 1/4πε₀

the expression of the electric field due to dipole at a distance r is

E(r) = $\frac{kp}{r^{3} }$ , where p = q × s

E(r) = $\frac{kqs}{r^{3} }$ where r>>s

a) find the magnitude of force due to the dipole

F=QE

F= Q( $\frac{kqs}{r^3}$ )

where k = 1/4πε₀

F = Qqs/4πε₀r³

b) b) magnitude of the torque(τ) on the dipole is dependent on the perpendicular forces

τ = F sinθ × s

θ = 90°

note: sin90° = 1

τ = F × r

recall F = Qqs/4πε₀r³

∴ τ = (Qqs/4πε₀r³) × r

τ = Qqs/4πε₀r²

What four elements composed everything in nature according to the beliefs of the ancient greeks? air, earth, fire, and water air

Nimfa-mama [501]

The ancient Greeks, in a theory that was suggested around 450 BC, believed that everything was from from four elements. These elements included earth, water, air and fire. Later, Aristotle supported this theory.

Therefore, the first option is correct.
