Answer:

D) Distance is always greater than or equal to displacement.

Explanation:

Since we know that the displacement is shortest distance between initial and final position or we can say it is the straight line distance between initial and final position.

While distance is the total path length of the object while it will move from initial to final position.

So if object moves in a straight line path without any turn then the path length and the displacement is always same.

But if the object move on curved path then displacement is smaller than the distance moved by the object

So here correct answer would be

D) Distance is always greater than or equal to displacement.

Displacement is a vector quantity whereas distance is scalar quantity.
Distance is the magnitude of displacement. Hence distance is always greater than or equal to displacement.
Option D is correct.

1.2 x (2.2 x 10⁵) = 264,000 Ω

0.8 x (2.2 x 10⁵) = 176,000 Ω

With a 'nominal' value of 220,000 Ω, it could actually be anywhere <em>between 176,000Ω and 264,000Ω</em> .

What should a sailboat operator do when approaching a PWC head-on
nekit [7.7K]

<u><em>In accordance with the International Regulation for the prevention of collisions at sea</em></u><u>: </u>

<u>1.- A sailing boat has a passing preference over a motorized boat, </u><u>except when the motor boat is limited by its draft</u><u>. </u>

<u>2.- The sailboat must maintain its course and speed. </u>

<u>3.- </u><em><u>If it is evident that the PWC does not respond</u></em><u>, the sailboat must sound the warning signal, and change its course to starboard. </u>

<u>4.- </u><u><em>All actions must be taken as soon as possible</em></u><u>. </u>

<u>5.- If a sailboat is using its engine, the situation changes, and in that case, both ships must alter to starboard.</u>

The 2nd largest hailstone every measured fell in Aurora, Nebraska, in 2003. The circumference of that hailstone was 16 inches. U
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

1. What was the diameter of the hailstone in inches_5.09_ and in cm___12.92___ and in feet ____0.42___?

2. What was the total volume of the hailstone in cubic inches___68.64___ and cubic feet____0.03____?

3. What was the fall velocity of this hailstone in m/s_____2.584____ and in mph___5.78_____?

Explanation:

1. If the circumference (L) of the stone is 16 inches, then from the following equation

L = 2\pi R

R = \frac{L}{2\pi} = \frac{16}{2\pi} = 2.54 ~inches

D = 2R = 5.09 ft

1 inch = 2.54 cm = 0.08 ft, so 5.09 inches = 12..92 cm = 0.42 ft

2. The total volume is

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi R^3 = \frac{4}{3}\pi (2.54)^3 = 68.64~in^3\\68.64 ~in^3 = 0.03~ft^3

3. The fall velocity is V = kd, where k = 20 if d is in cm. Let's calculate the fall velocity in cm.

V = 20*12.92 = 258.4~cm/s = 2.584~m/s

2.584 m/s = 5.78 mph

Two billiard balls move toward each other on a table. The mass of the number three ball, m1, is 5 g with a velocity of 3 m/s. Th
marishachu [46]

Answer:

+5.7 m/s

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of momentum is that the momentum before the collision is equal to the momentum after the collision. In an equation form it would look like this:

M₁V₁+M₂V₂ = M₁V₁'+M₂V₂'

Where:

M₁ = mass of object 1 (kg)

V₁ = velocity of object 1 before the collision (m/s)

V₁' = Final velocity of object 1 after the collision (m/s)

M₂ = mass of object 2 (kg)

V₂ = velocity of object 2 before the collision (m/s)

V₂' = Final velocity of object 2 after the collision (m/s)

According to your problem you have the following given:

M₁ = 5 g = 0.005kg

V₁ = 3 m/s

V₁' = -5m/s (It bounced off so it is going the other direction)

M₂ = 6g = 0.006kg

V₂ = -1 m/s (It is coming from the opposite direction of the 3-ball)

V₂' = ?

So we plug in what we know and solve for what we don't know.

M_1V_1+M_2V_2 = M_1V_1' + M_2V_2'\\\\(0.005kg)(3m/s)+(0.006kg)(-1m/s) = (0.005kg)(5m/s)+(0.006kg)(V_2')\\\\(0.015kg\cdot m/s)+(-0.006kg\cdot m/s)=(-0.025kg\cdot m/s)+(0.006kg)(V_2')\\\\0.009kg\cdot m/s+0.025kg\cdot m/s = (0.006kg)(V_2')\\\\\dfrac{0.034kg\cdot m/s}{0.006kg} = V_2'\\\\5.7m/s = V_2'
