For which of the following situations will the path length equal the magnitude of the displacement? A train travels 5 miles east

; and then it stops and travel 2 miles west. A jogger is running around a circular path. A ball is rolling down an inclined plane. A ball is thrown vertically upward. It rises upward and falls downward.

Answer:

Explanation:

The train travels 5 miles in the east and then 2 miles in the west . Total path length is equal to 5 + 2 = 7 miles . But the displacement is (5 - 2 ) = 3 miles . So displacement ≠ path length

The jogger is running around a circular path . In moving one round on a circular path , path length is equal to the circumference of the circle but the displacement is zero because the starting point and finish point is same.

For the ball rolling down an inclined plane , path length is length of inclined path traveled and displacement is also the same . so in this case path length equals displacement.

For a ball thrown upwards and going downwards , total path length is equal to the total of path gone up and down or twice the height  but the displacement is nil if the ball comes back again in the hand.

A single loop of wire with an area of 0.0900 m2 is in a uniform magnetic field that has an initial value of 3.80 T, is perpendic
erica [24]

Answer:

(a) 0.0171 V

Explanation:

A = 0.09 m^2, dB/dt = 0.190 T/s

(a) According to the law of electromagntic induction

e = dФ / dt

e = A dB / dt

e = 0.09 x 0.190 = 0.0171 V

(b)

as we know

i = e / R

we can find induced current by dividing induced emf by resistance

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Complete Question

A parallel-plate capacitor, with air dielectric, is charged by a battery, after which the battery is disconnected. A slab of glass dielectric is then slowly inserted between the plates. As it is being inserted,  

A :

a force repels the glass out of the capacitor.  

B :

a force attracts the glass into the capacitor.    

C :

no force acts on the glass.      

D :

a net charge appears on the glass.      

E :

the glass makes the plates repel each other.

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

Generally when the glass dielectric is slowly inserted between the plated,

The positive plate of the capacitor will induce a negative charge on the glass while the negative  plate of the capacitor will induce a positive charge on glass which a electric field that posses an electric force that will attract the glass

A body is thrown up with a velocity of 78.4 m per second.How high will it rise and how much time it will take to return to its p
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The maximum height reached by the body is 313.6 m

The time to return to its point of projection is 8 s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the body, u = 78.4 m/s

at maximum height (h) the final velocity of the body (v) = 0

The following equation is applied to determine the maximum height reached by the body;

v² = u² - 2gh

0 = u² - 2gh

2gh = u²

h = u²/2g

h = (78.4²) / (2 x 9.8)

h = 313.6 m

The time to return to its point of projection is calculated as follows;

at maximum height, the final velocity becomes the initial velocity = 0

h = v + ¹/₂gt²

h = 0 + ¹/₂gt²

h =  ¹/₂gt²

2h = gt²

t² = 2h/g

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 313.6}{9.8} }\\\\t = 8 \ s

A wave of infrared light has a speed of 6m/s and a wave length of 12 m. What is the frequency of this wave?
erastovalidia [21]
Frequency = speed / wavelength

(6 m/s) / (12 m) = 0.5 Hz.

That's not infrared light.
Infrared light waves move about 50 million times faster than that, and they're only about 0.00000007 as long as that.
