Are distance and displacement always equal ?

Physics
1 answer:
Fofino [41]3 years ago
8 0
Distance and displacement are hardly ever equal. 

Remember that 'displacement' is the straight-line distance between
the start-point and the end-point, regardless of what path you followed
on the way.

So they're equal ONLY when the trip from start to finish was completely
in a straight line.

Suppose mass and radius of the planet are half and twice that of earth's respectively. If acceleration due to gravity of the ear
stich3 [128]

Answer:

The acceleration due to gravity of that planet is, gₐ = 1.25 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the planet, m = 1/2M

Radius of the planet, r = 2R

Where M and R is the mass and radius of the Earth respectively.

The acceleration due to gravity of Earth, g = 10 m/s²

The acceleration due to gravity of Earth is given by the relation,

                                       g = GM/R²

Similarly, the acceleration due to gravity of that planet is

                                        gₐ = Gm/r²

where G is the Universal gravitational constant

On substituting the values in the above equation

                                        gₐ = G (1/2 M)/4 R²

                                             = GM/8R²

                                             = 1/8 ( 10 m/s²)

                                             = 1.25 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration due to gravity of that planet is, gₐ = 1.25 m/s²

Holding force constant, what will be the effect of increasing the Moment arm?
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

(b) Torque will increase.

Explanation:

Torque is given as the product of force and moment arm (radius).

τ = F x r

F = τ / r

where;

F is force

τ  is torque

r is radius (moment arm)

Keeping force constant, we will have the following;

τ ∝ r

This shows that torque is directly proportional moment arm (radius), thus increase in moment arm, will cause increase in torque.

For instance;

let the constant force = 5 N

let the initial moment arm, r = 2m

Torque, τ  = 5 N x 2m = 10 Nm

When the moment arm is increased to 4 m

Torque, τ  = 5 N x 4m = 20 Nm

Therefore, at a constant force, increasing in the Moment arm, will cause increase in torque.

Coorect option is "(b) Torque will increase."

Calculate the minimum wavelength (λ0) for the continuous spectrum of X-rays emitted when.. a) 30-kV electrons strike a cobalt (C
Sholpan [36]

Explanation:

The relationship between the wavelength and the potential difference V is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2me}}\times \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{V}}

Putting the values of known parameters,

\lambda=\dfrac{12.28}{\sqrt{V} }\times 10^{-10}\ m

(a) V=30\ kV=30000\ V

\lambda=\dfrac{12.28}{\sqrt{30000} }\times 10^{-10}\ m

\lambda=7.08\times 10^{-12}\ m

(b) V=60\ kV=60000\ V

\lambda=\dfrac{12.28}{\sqrt{60000} }\times 10^{-10}\ m

\lambda=5.01\times 10^{-12}\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.
