Light pollution is influence of the light on earth (for example, street lighting) which interrupt observations. For example, if you are in a street during the night and street lights are turned on you won't see stars, but if lighting is turned off or if you go out of town you will see stars above.

A cyclist travels 1850 m north and then 1200 m south. Find both the distance it has traveled and the magnitude of its displaceme
finlep [7]

Answer:

The distance it has traveled is 3,050 m and the magnitude of its displacement is 650 m north.

Explanation:

Distance refers to the length between any two points in space, while displacement refers to the distance from a start position to an end position regardless of the path.

In other words, distance refers to how much space an object travels during its movement; is the quantity moved. It is also said to be the sum of the distances traveled. The distance traveled by a mobile is the length of its trajectory and it is a scalar quantity. In this case, the distance is calculated as:

1850 m + 1200 m= 3,050 m

Displacement refers to the distance and direction of the final position from the initial position of an object. The displacement effected is a vector quantity. The vector representing the displacement has its origin in the initial position, its end in the final position, and its module is the distance in a straight line between the initial and final positions. That is, when expressing the displacement it is done in terms of the magnitude with its respective unit of measurement and the direction because the displacement is a vector type quantity. Mathematically, the displacement (Δd) is calculated as:

Δd= df - di

where df is the final position and di is the initial position of the object.

In this case, the displacement is calculated as:

1850 m - 1200 m= 650 m

Since the distance to the north is greater, the direction of travel will be to the north.

<u><em>The distance it has traveled is 3,050 m and the magnitude of its displacement is 650 m north.</em></u>

How can Newton's laws be applied to protect a smartphone screen during a collision?
Sonja [21]

smartphones break due to forces acting on the material.

force causes material to deform.

material is often brittle and cracks due to a limit on hardness / electricity in screens.

newton's 2nd law states

force = DV / DT

to help phones we must slow down change in momentum to reduce the force

thus we must use some form of damping in the form of a case .

the case is typically able to deform and rubber is elastic converting the kinetic energy to heat as it deforms instead of transferring it through the screen.

therefore the change in velocity occurs over a longer time. therefore the impulse decreases

What is the main difference between a maglev train and a normal train?
professor190 [17]
Regular trains follow train tracks and travel on rails; Maglev trains are Magnetically Levitated using powerful electromagnets, so that they actually hover slightly above the ground. This massively reduces friction and allows them to travel much faster (kind of like how a puck can go really far with only a little push on an air hockey table).
