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 feelings do learned helplessness and depression have in common?
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Learned helplessness can have a profound impact on mental health and well-being. People who experience learned helplessness are also likely to experience symptoms of depression, elevated stress levels, and less motivation to take care of their physical health. Not everyone responds to experiences the same way.

A ball thrown in to the air starts out with an initial upward velocity but eventually slows and stops before falling back to the
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

b) The downward force of gravity

Explanation:

The gravity force has the biggest influence on the deceleration of the ball because no matter how much force you applied on the ball, it will eventually go down again, according to newton's second law:

\sum F=m.a

right after you throw the ball, only the force exerted by the gravity will affect the ball (neglecting air resistance):

m.g=m.a\\a=g

so the object will eventually be going down again.

How will the magnetic field of a straight wire carrying a constant current interact with the needle of a compass? Does the inter
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

the needle will direct its North South according to the magnetic field of current carrying wire.

Explanation:

A current carrying wire always has a magnetic field around it, in circular loops. This magnetic field will be either clockwise or anticlockwise depending on the direction of current.

Right hand rule tells the direction. Place the current carrying wire in your right hand with thumb pointing the direction of current. Curl of the fingers tell the direction of current.

When the needle gets in the vicinity of the field, its poles aligns itself with the field. (previous position of the compass needle has no effect on its position in the field). The north pole and south pole will be set in the direction of magnetic field.

The distance between the needle and wire does effect the strength (accuracy) of the needle position. Strong field will create strong deflection of the needle whereas when the distance from wire increases, field weakens, thus the deflection of needle will be weak.
