The magnitude of the total displacement is 1000 m

Explanation:

Displacement is a vector quantity connecting the initial position and final position of motion of an object.

The magnitude of the displacement is therefore the distance in a straight line between the initial and final position of motion.

The person in the problem has the following motions:

500 meters due east

866 meters due north

The two motions are perpendicular to each other, so they form the sides of a right triangle, of which the hypothenuse corresponds to the magnitude of the total displacement.

Therefore, the magnitude of the displacement can be simply found by using Pythagorean's theorem:

d=\sqrt{d_x^2+d_y^2}=\sqrt{500^2+866^2}=1000 m

There is a 12 v potential difference between the positive and negative ends of the jumper cables, which are a short distance apa
steposvetlana [31]
The electric potential energy of the electron depends on the potential difference applied between the two ends of the cable. Indeed, the electric potential energy of a charge is given by
U=q \Delta V
where q is the magnitude of the charge, while \Delta V is the potential difference applied. So, U depends on \Delta V.

Stand next to a wall that travels at 30 km/s relative to the Sun. With your feet on the ground, you also travel at the same 30 k
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Yes. Inertia keeps the speed maintained though my feet leave the ground.

Explanation:

Inertia is the resistance to the change in position of any object this means this resistance will keep me traveling at 30 km/s relative to the sun. If the person wants to change the position we apply force to do that because inertia is opposing us to not do that. We are always traveling with 30km/s relative to sun due to inertia.

Does the charge that flows into the capacitor during the charging go all the way through the capacitor and back to the battery,

The capacitor is used to store electric charge.That is what makes capacitors special. <span>
The charge that flows into the capacitor is stored on the plate of the capacitor that the source voltage is connected to. </span>When current flows into a capacitor, the charges get “stuck” on the plates because they can’t get past the insulating dielectric. One plate is positively charged and the other negatively <span>The stationary charges on these plates create an </span>electric field. <span>When charges group together on a capacitor like this, the cap is storing electric energy just as a battery might store chemical energy.</span>

. Now assuming Anna's far point was found to be 0.9 m (i.e., her eyes can't focus on any object more than 0.9 m away), what powe
Mama L [17]

Answer:1). Distance of far point x=0.9m

Therefore, since the image is virtual

-f=-x = -0.9m

Power of the concave lenses = 1/f = 1/-0.9

= -1.11D

2 ) near point is 21cm = 0.21m

Power = 4-1/near point

= 4/0.21

= 14.2D.
