As per the question there are three physical quantities named as position,distance and displacement.

Before coming into a conclusion first we have to understand a vector and a scalar.

A scalar quantity is a quantity which has only magnitude for it's complete specifications.

A vector is a quantity which has magnitude as well as direction and at the same time it is in accordance with the paraellogram law of vector addition.

Out of the three options displacement and position are vector quantities.It is because it is the minimum distance between two points .It has magnitude as well as direction.

Distance can not be considered as a vector quantity as it has only magnitude.There is no specific directions of distance travelled.

Position vector is a vector which provides location of an object in a plane or space.It is nothing else except the point which has x,y,z coordinates with origin is taken as the reference point.

Hence position and displacement are vectors

to glue onto the end and complete the statement. OK. Use "inertia".

A crate is dragged up a ramp at constant speed. The work done on the system can be accounted for by:

Alex

Answer:

The work done on the system can be accounted for by;

Both $E_g$ and $E_{int}$

Explanation:

The speed of the crate = Constant

Therefore, the acceleration of the crate = 0 m/s²

The net force applied to the crate, $F_{NET}$ = 0

Therefore, the force of with which the crate is pulled = The force resisting the upward motion of the crate

However, we have;

The force resisting the upward motion of the crate = The weight of the crate + The frictional resistance of the ramp due to the surface contact between the ramp and the crate

The work done on the system = The energy to balance the resisting force = The weight of the crate × The height the crate is raised + The heat generated as internal energy to the system

The weight of the crate × The height the crate is raised = Gravitational Potential Energy = $E_g$

The heat generated as internal energy to the system = $E_{int}$

Therefore;

The work done on the system = $E_g$ + $E_{int}$ .

Tennis balls traveling at greater than 100 mph routinely bounce off tennis rackets. At some sufficiently high speed, however, th

Kipish [7]

Answer:

Probability of tunneling is $10^{- 1.17\times 10^{32}}$

Solution:

As per the question:

Velocity of the tennis ball, v = 120 mph = 54 m/s

Mass of the tennis ball, m = 100 g = 0.1 kg

Thickness of the tennis ball, t = 2.0 mm = $2.0\times 10^{- 3}\ m$

Max velocity of the tennis ball, $v_{m} = 200\ mph$ = 89 m/s

Now,

The maximum kinetic energy of the tennis ball is given by:

$KE = \frac{1}{2}mv_{m}^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.1\times 89^{2} = 396.05\ J$

Kinetic energy of the tennis ball, KE' = $\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = 0.5\times 0.1\times 54^{2} = 154.8\ m/s$

Now, the distance the ball can penetrate to is given by:

$\eta = \frac{\bar{h}}{\sqrt{2m(KE - KE')}}$

$\bar{h} = \frac{h}{2\pi} = \frac{6.626\times 10^{- 34}}{2\pi} = 1.0545\times 10^{- 34}\ Js$

Thus

$\eta = \frac{1.0545\times 10^{- 34}}{\sqrt{2\times 0.1(396.05 - 154.8)}}$

$\eta = 1.52\times 10^{-35}\ m$

Now,

We can calculate the tunneling probability as:

$P(t) = e^{\frac{- 2t}{\eta}}$

$P(t) = e^{\frac{- 2\times 2.0\times 10^{- 3}}{1.52\times 10^{-35}}} = e^{-2.63\times 10^{32}}$

$P(t) = e^{-2.63\times 10^{32}}$

Taking log on both the sides:

$logP(t) = -2.63\times 10^{32} loge$

$P(t) = 10^{- 1.17\times 10^{32}}$

How is chemical bonding related to the organization of the periodic table ?? (Can someone help me this is due tomorrow)

Paladinen [302]

when a chemical bonds with another chemical it creates an element that element can be a gas, liquid, solid, or a metal. depending on which chemicals bond you will get different elements
