5 0

Answer:

Distance is 500 m, displacement is 0

Explanation:

Distance and displacement are defined in two different ways:

- Distance is the total length of the path covered by an object in motion - so it depends on the path taken. In this problem, the distance travelled by the car corresponds to the length of one lap, which is the length of the track, so 500 m

- Displacement is the distance in a straight line between the final point and the initial point of the motion. This means that displacement does not depend on the path taken, but only on the starting and ending point of the motion. In this problem, the car completes one lap, so the final position of the car is equal to its starting position - therefore the displacement is zero, since the distance between these two points is zero.

Marianna [84]

Answer:

1.) A simple harmonic oscillator has an amplitude of 3.50 cm and a maximum speed of 26.0 cm/s. What is its speed when the displacement is 1.75 cm? 2.) Both pendulum A and B are 3.0 m long. The period of A is T. Pendulum A is twice as heavy as pendulum B. What is the period of B? 3.) The time for one cycle of a periodic process is called the _ ? 4.) In simple harmonic motion, the acceleration is proportional to? 5.) The position of a mass that is oscillating on a spring is given by x= (18.3 cm) cos [(2.35 s-1)t]. What is the frequency of this motion?

If ?h°rxn and ?s°rxn are both negative values, what drives the spontaneous reaction and in what direction at standard conditions
irakobra [83]

The release of free energy drives the spontaneous reaction.

Spontaneity can be <span>determined using the change in </span>Gibbs free energy (the thermodynamic potencial):

delta G=delta H – T*delta S

where delta H is the enthalpy and delta S is the entropy.

The direction (the sign) of delta G depends of the changes of enthalpy and entropy. If delta G is negative then the process is spontaneous.

In our case, both delta H and delta S are negative values, the process as said is spontaneous which means that it may proceed in the forward direction.

A pendulum makes 60 vibrations in 15 secs what’s its frequency
o-na [289]

Answer:

4 hertz

Explanation:

The defination of freqyency = the total no of cycle made by a wave in one second .

so,

cycle or vibrations=60

tame taken = 15

now,

frequency = no. of cycle / time taken

= 60/15

=4 hertz

hence, the its frequency = 4hertz

How are cactus adapted to survive in deserts?
andreev551 [17]

1. They have evolved their leaves into spikes for minimum water loss through transpiration.

2. They have a waxy layer for minimum water loss.

3. They have thick walls for minimum water loss.

4. They can take water from atmosphere.

5. They change the photo energy from Sun into an intermediate stage and store it, so that they can make food even in night.
