Explanation:

The difference between final and initial position of an object is called its displacement. Its formula is given by :

$\text{displacement}=\text{final position}-\text{initial position}$

It is equal to the shortest path covered by it. It is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction.

Answer:

$v=2.24\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of an electromagnetic wave traveling in a transparent nonmagnetic substance is given by :

$v=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{k\mu_o\epsilon_o}}$

Where

k is the dielectric constant of the substance.

v is the speed of light in water

$c=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1.78\times 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}}$

$v=2.24\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

So, the speed of light in water is $2.24\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

A piston–cylinder assembly contains 5.0 kg of air, initially at 2.0 bar, 30 oC. The air undergoes a process to a state where th

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Explanation:

The process is isothermic, as P V = constant .

work done = 2.303 n RT log P₁ / P₂

= 2.303 x 5 / 29 x 8.3 x 303 log 2 / 1 kJ

= 300.5k J

This energy in work done by the gas will come fro heat supplied as internal energy is constant due to constant temperature.

heat supplied = 300.5k J

specific volume is volume per unit mass

v / m

pv = n RT

pv = m / M RT

v / m = RT / p M

specific volume = RT / p M

option B is correct.

Answer:

Wheelbarrows, fishing rods, shovels, brooms, arms, legs, boat oars, crow bars, and bottle openers are all examples of levers. Levers may be one of the most used simple machine. As with all simple machines like the lever, they are designed to help make work easier to do.
