A car is 2.0 km west of a traffic light at t = 0 and 5.0 km east of the light at t = 6.0 min. Assume the origin of the coordinat

e system is the light and the positive x direction is eastward. (a) What are the car’s position vectors at these two times? (b) What is the car’s displacement between 0 min and 6.0 min?

Answer:

(a) Position Vectors V₁= -2î km, V₂=5î km

(b) Displacement Δx=7 km

Explanation:

Given data

Distance=2 km west at t=0

Distance=5 km east at t=6 min

Positive x is the east direction

To find

(a)Car position vector at given times

(b)Displacement between 0 to 6.0 min

Solution

For Part (a) car position vector at given times

At t=0 the distance=2 km west so conclude that x₁=-2 because it is in negative side So vector V₁

V₁= -2î km

At t=6.0 the distance=5 km east so conclude that x₂=5 because it is in positive side So vector V₂

V₂=5î km

For (b) displacement between 0 to 6.0 min

According to following mathematical law we can conclude that

Δx=x₂-x₁

Δx=5-(-2)km

Δx=7 km

Why is the formation of hydrogen bonds between water molecules categorized as cohesion
marishachu [46]

Answer: Because of the polarity of water molecules

Molecular <u>cohesion</u> is the attraction that molecules have for others of their same type. Depending on the intensity of this attraction, a substance is in a solid, liquid or gaseous state.

In this sense, water (H_{2}O) can stick to itself through hydrogen bonds, because a water molecule consists of 2 hydrogen atoms attached to 1 oxygen atom.

The oxygen atom tends to monopolize more electrons and keeps them away from hydrogen. Then, it can be said that a water molecule will have a negative side (oxygen) and a positive side (hydrogen).

<u>Thanks to this polarity</u>, water molecules can stick together with the formation of<u> hydrogen bonds</u> to attract a partial positive charge of hydrogen and a more electronegative atom, such as oxygen.

True or false the refraction of a wave is how many wavelengths pass a fixed point each second
Ksenya-84 [330]
False. That description fits the wave's 'frequency'. 
It has nothing to do with refraction.

leva [86]

Answer:

a) The total force is 4659.8 N

b) The gauge pressure is 50764 Pa

Explanation:

Given:

Pressure inside = 0

Patm = pressure outside = 1.013x10⁵Pa

Pressure difference = ΔP = 1.013x10⁵ - 0 = 1.013x10⁵Pa

a) The area is equal:

A=12*6=72in^{2} =0.046m^{2}

The force is:

F=delta-P*A=1.013x10^{5} *0.046=4659.8N

b) The gauge pressure at the bottom is equal:

P=\rho gh

Where:

ρ = density = 1000 kg/m³

h = 17 ft = 5.18 m

Replacing:

P=1000*9.8*5.18=50764Pa
