Answer:

Explanation:

Displacement is the distance from the start point to the endpoint, displacement disregard the path taken or the amount traveled.

if you start at point A, then go to point B, and back to point A, the displacement is zero because you started and ended at the same point.

for this question, pretend you started at point A, went east 20 km to point B, and then west 8 km to point C, your displacement is 12 km. 12 km is the distance between point A and point C.

The Moon orbits Earth in an average of p = 27.3 days at an average distance of a =384,000 kilometers. Using Newton’s version of

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The mass of the earth, $M=6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Time taken by the moon to orbit the earth, $T=27.3\ days=2358720\ m$

Distance between moon and the earth, $r=384000\ km=384\times 10^6\ m$

We need to find the mass of the Earth using Kepler's third law of motion as :

$T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}r^3$

$M=\dfrac{4\pi^2r^3}{T^2G}$

$M=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times (384\times 10^6)^3}{(2358720)^2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}}$

$M=6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg$

So, the mass of the earth is $6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Speed greater than 4 m/s

Explanation:

Given that Ms. Kasper is in a panic. Her cat, Penny, is stuck in a tree and about to jump out. In order to save her cat, Ms. Kasper needs to run to the tree, 12 meters away. If it takes her cat, 3 seconds to fall, how fast would Ms. Kasper have to run to save her cat?

The distance = 12 m

Time = 3s

Speed = distance/time

Speed = 12/3

Speed = 4 m/s

Ms Kasper must run at speed more than 4m/s for her to save the cat.

The field between two charged parallel plates is kept constant. If the two plates are brought closer together, the potential dif

Komok [63]

Since the electric field between the plates is constant, If the two plates are brought closer together, the potential difference between the two plates decreases

The relation between potential difference and the electric field is given by ΔV = E.d

Since the electric field is maintained constant, the potential difference is directly inversely proportional to the distance between the plates.

The potential difference between the plates will therefore likewise decrease if the distance between the plates is reduced, we will state in this case.

The energy required to move a unit charge, or one coulomb, from one point to the other in a circuit is measured as the potential difference between the two points. Potential difference is measured in volts or joules per coulomb.
