If Rebecca is traveling at 7 m/s east for 1 hour how much is Rebecca displaced

Physics

1 answer:

Mekhanik [1.2K]3 years ago

3 0

Answer:

25.2 km east

Explanation:

The relationship between velocity and displacement is given by:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where

v is the velocity

d is the displacement

t is the time

In this problem, we have:

$v=7 m/s$ east is Rebecca's velocity

$t=1 h=60 min=3600 s$ is the time taken

Re-arranging the equation, we can find Rebecca's displacement:

$d=vt=(7 m/s)(3600 s)=25,200 m=25.2 km$

and the direction is same as velocity (east)

Which is true about a concave mirror? Incident rays that are parallel to the central axis are dispersed but will be perceived as

Reil [10]

Answer:

'Incident rays that are parallel to the central axis are sent through a point on the near side of the mirror'.

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, find the complete question in the comment section.

Concave mirrors is an example of a curved mirror. The outer surface of a concave mirror is always coated. On the concave mirror, we have what is called the central axis or principal axis which is a line cutting through the center of the mirror. The points located on this axis are the Pole, the principal focus and the centre of curvature. The focus point is close to the curved mirror than the centre of curvature.

During the formation of images, one of the incident rays (rays striking the plane surface) coming from the object and parallel to the principal axis, converges at the focus point after reflection because all incident rays striking the surface are meant to reflect out. All incident light striking the surface all converges at a point on the central axis known as the focus.

Based on the explanation above, it can be concluded that 'Incident rays that are parallel to the central axis are sent through a point on the near side of the mirror'.

What is the total energy q released in a single fusion reaction event for the equation given in the problem introduction? use c2

kkurt [141]

Answer:

$4.3\cdot 10^{-12} J$

Explanation:

The fusion reaction in this problem is

$4^1_1H \rightarrow ^4_2He +2e^+$

The total energy released in the fusion reaction is given by

$\Delta E = c^2 \Delta m$

where

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light

$\Delta m$ is the mass defect, which is the mass difference between the mass of the reactants and the mass of the products

For this fusion reaction we have:

$m(^1_1H)=1.007825u$ is the mass of one nucleus of hydrogen

$m(^4_2 He)=4.002603u$ is the mass of one nucleus of helium

So the mass defect is:

$\Delta m =4m(^1_1 H)-m(^4_2 He)=4(1.007825u)-4.002603u=0.028697u$

The conversion factor between atomic mass units and kilograms is

$1u=1.66054\cdot 10^{-27}kg$

So the mass defect is

$\Delta m =(0.028697)(1.66054\cdot 10^{-27})=4.765\cdot 10^{-29}kg$

And so, the energy released is:

$\Delta E=(3.0\cdot 10^8)^2(4.765\cdot 10^{-29})=4.3\cdot 10^{-12} J$

Why does a vibraing simple pendulum not produce any sound

pashok25 [27]

Human ear can hear the lowest frequency about 20 Hz, this is 20 vibrations per second. Vibrations of pendulum are very small and frequency is less than 20 Hz, so we can't hear it.

A positive charge is moved from one point to another point along an equipotential surface. The work required to move the charge:

liberstina [14]

Answer:

b . is zero.

Explanation:

An Equipotential surface is the one that has electric potential same throughout the surface. The formula for work done in an electric field is given by

dW= qdV

Now, in an Equipotential surface dV= 0.

Hence the work done in moving a charge from one place to the other in an electric field is zero.
