Answer:

D = 8 cm

Explanation:

It is given that, the caterpillar walks 18 cm to the left, then 6 cm to  the right, then 10 cm to the left.

We need to find the displacement of the caterpillar. The attached figure shows the path traveled by the caterpillar. A is the initial position, then it reaches B and finally it reaches C.

Let right side is positive and left is negative. We know that,

Displacement = final position - initial position

= C - A

= -10-(-18)

= 8 cm

Hence, the displacement of the caterpillar is 8 cm.

Answer:

Temperature, T = 3.62 kelvin

Explanation:

It is given that,

Total number of gas molecules, N=6\times 10^{26}

Her body is converting chemical energy into thermal energy at a rate of 125 W, P = 125 W

Time taken, t = 6 min = 360 s

Energy of a gas molecules is given by :

\Delta E =\dfrac{3}{2}NkT

T=\dfrac{2E}{3Nk}, k is Boltzmann constant

T=\dfrac{2\times P\times t}{3Nk}

T=\dfrac{2\times 125\times 360}{3\times 6\times 10^{26}\times 1.38\times 10^{-23}}

T = 3.62 K

So, the temperature increases by 3.62 kelvin. Hence, this is the required solution.
