A butterfly flies from the top of a tree in the center of a garden to rest on top of a red flower at the garden's edge. The tree

is 9.0 m taller than the flower, and the garden is 17 m wide.
Determine the magnitude of the butterfly's displacement.

Express your answer using two significant figures.

Answer:

R=12 m

Explanation:

I have drawn a vector form which I attached here.Please first go through that

Given Data

y (Tree Taller) = 9.0 m

x(Distance from center to edge is)= 8.5 m

To find

R(magnitude of the butterfly's displacement

)

Solution

R=\sqrt{x^{2} +y^{2} }\\R=\sqrt{9^{2}+8.5^{2}  }\\ R=12.379m

Convert to two significant figures

R=12 m

The butterfly takes a vertical perpendicular path equivalent to 9m and travels a horizontal distance of 17m. The net path between the two is equivalent to that of the hypotenuse, so we will apply the Pythagorean theorem.

x=\sqrt{(9)^2+(0.17)^2}

x = 9.0061 \approx 9.0 m

Therefore the magnitude of the butterfly's displacement is 9m

What will be the force if the particle's charge is tripled and the electric field strength is halved? Give your answer in terms
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

1.5F

Explanation:

Using

E= F/q

Where F= force

E= electric field

q=charge

F= Eq

So if qis tripled and E is halved we have

F= (E/2)3q

F= 1.5Eq=>> 1.5F

What is the ratio of thicknesses of crown glass and water that would contain the same number of wavelengths of light?
Serhud [2]

Answer:

the thickness of the glass divided by thickness of water is going to be 1.333 divided by 1.52, which is 0.877. So, the height of this glass, in order to have the same number of wavelengths as in water, the height of the glass will be 0.877 times the height of the water, and so it will be smaller.
