What is the total displacement of an ant that walks 2 meters west, 3 meters south, 4 meters east, and 1 meter

Physics
1 answer:
Ivan4 years ago
8 0

(2m west) + (3m south) + (4m east) + (1m north) =

[ (2m west)+(4m east) ] + [ (3m south)+(1m north) ] =

[ (-2m east)+(4m east) ] + [ (3m south)-(1m south) ] =

(2m east) + (2m south)

Now, so far, we have the orthogonal (perpendicular) components of the displacement ... the North/South component and the East/West component.

To combine these, it's time for Pythagoras:

Displacement = √[ (2m)² + (2m)² ]

Displacement = √ (4m² + 4m²)

Diplacement = √8m²  

<em>Displacement =  2.83 meters Southeast</em>

calculate how much charge passes through the LED in 1 hour if the current flowing in the circuit below is 350mA
Morgarella [4.7K]

Given the the current flowing in the circuit and the elapsed time, the charge that passes through the LED is 1260 Coulombs.

<h3>What is Current?</h3>

Current is simply the rate of flow of charged particles i.e electrons caused by EMF or voltage.

If a charge passes through the cross-section of a conductor in a given time, the current I is expressed as;

I = Q/t

Where Q is the charge and t is time elapsed.

Given the data in the question;

  • Time elapsed t = 1hr = 3600s
  • Current I = 350mA = 0.35A
  • Charge Q = ?

We substitute our given values into the expression above to determine the charge.

I = Q/t

Q = I × t

Q = 0.35A × 3600s

Q = 1260C

Therefore,  given the the current flowing in the circuit and the elapsed time, the charge that passes through the LED is 1260 Coulombs.

A 0.44-kg cord is stretched between two supports, 8.1 m apart. When one support is struck by a hammer, a transverse wave travels
padilas [110]

Answer: 9.8N

Explanation: The velocity of a sound wave (v), tension on the string (T) and mass per unit length (u) are all related by the formulae below

T = v² * u

Where T is tension in Newton (N), v is velocity of sound waves in meter per seconds (m/s) and u is mass per unit length in kilogram per meter (kg/m)

u = mass of chord / length of chord

u = 0.44/ 8.1

u = 0.1 kg/m

Velocity of sound waves (v) =length of chord / time taken for wave to travel

v = 8.1 / 0.82 = 9.9m/s

Tension is calculated below using the formula

T = v² * u

T = (9.9)² x 0.1

T= 9.8N

Why are units of measurement useful?
Zanzabum

Without the ability to measure, it would be difficult for scientists to conduct experiments or form theories. Not only is measurement important in science and the chemical industry, it is also essential in farming, engineering, construction, manufacturing, commerce, and numerous other occupations and activities.
