What is the difference between distance and displacement? Give an example of a situation where distance and displacement both ha

ve the same magnitude. Give another example, where distance and displacement have different values. Make sure to address the terms "vector" and "scalar" in your response.

Explanation :

Distance is total path travelled by an object during its entire journey. It is a scalar quantity i.e only magnitude.

Displacement is the shortest distance covered by an object. It is basically the change in position of object. It is a vector quantity i.e direction as well as magnitude.

When an object is travelling in a straight line and stops at the end point, then both distance and displacement are same.

When an object is travelling in a straight line and then changes its direction or we can say come backwards then the magnitude of distance and displacement are different.

If the speed of sound is approximately 671 mi/hr, about how many meters per second is it? (1mile=1609m)
zzz [600]
671mi/hr

= 671/60min (calculates miles/min)
= (671/60) ÷ 60seconds (calculates miles/sec)

((671/60) ÷ 60)× 1609m
= 299.899 meters/sec
= 299.90m (round off to 2 decimals )

Emerging adults are typically financially independent from their parents.<br> True or false?
zmey [24]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

According to USA today "Though nearly 60% of the 18 to 21 year olds surveyed said they have a job, and 70% of the 22 to 26 year olds said the same, many seem to rely on mom and dad to fund non-essential expenses. Nearly 75% of the 18 to 21 year olds and more than 40% of 22 to 26 year olds said their parents pay their monthly cell phone bill. Just 54% of 22 to 26 year olds own or lease their own car; and 43% of 22 to 26 year olds are living at home with their parents."

For heat transfer purposes, an egg can be considered to be a 5.5-cm-diameter sphere having the properties of water. An egg that
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The time taken is   t = 40007 sec  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The diameter of the egg is d_e = 5.5cm  = \frac{5.5}{100} = 5.5*10^{-2}m

    The initial temperature of egg the T_e = 4.3^{o}C

     The temperature of the boiling water T_b = 100^oC

    The heat transfer coefficient is  H  = 800 W/m^2 \cdot K

    The  final temperature is T_e_f = 74^oC

     The  thermal  conductivity of water is k = 0.607 W/m^oC

     The diffusivity of the egg \alpha = 0.146 * 10^{-6} m^2 /s

Using one term approximation

We have the

            \frac{T_e_f - T_b}{T_e - T_b}  = Ae^{-\lambda ^2 \tau}

The radius is  r = \frac{5.5*10^ {-2}}{2} =2.75*10^{-2}m     Note that this radius is approximation to that of  a real egg

    Now we need to obtain the Biot number which help indicate the value of A  \ and \ \lambda to use in the above equation

     The Biot number is mathematically represented as

               Bi = \frac{H r}{k}

Substituting values  

               Bi = \frac{800 * 2.75 *10^{-2}}{0.607}

                    = 36.24

So for this value  which greater than 0.1 the  coefficient \lambda_1 \ and  \ A_1 is  

        \lambda = 3.06632

        A = 1.9942

Substituting this into equation 1 we have

          \frac{74- 100}{4.3 - 100} = 1.9942 e^{-(3.0632^2) \tau}

          0.2717= 1.9942 e^{-(3.0632^2) \tau}

          0.2717= 1.9942 e^{-9.383 \tau}

           0.13624 =  e^{-9.383 \tau}

Taking natural log of both sides

           -1.993 =  -9.383\  \tau

          \tau =  0.2124

    The time required for the egg to be cooked is  mathematically represented as

          t = \frac{\tau r^2}{\alpha }

substituting value  is  

         = \frac{0.2124 * 2.75 *10^{-2}}{0.146 *10^{-6}}

         t = 40007 sec

Doss [256]

Answer:

The resultant velocity is <u>169.71 km/h at angle of 45° measured clockwise with the x-axis</u> or the east-west line.

Explanation:

Considering west direction along negative x-axis and north direction along  positive y-axis

Given:

The car travels at a speed of 120 km/h in the west direction.

The car then travels at the same speed in the north direction.

Now, considering the given directions, the velocities are given as:

Velocity in west direction is, \overrightarrow{v_1}=-120\ \vec{i}

Velocity in north direction is, \overrightarrow{v_2}=120\ \vec{j}

Now, since v_1\ and\ v_2 are perpendicular to each other, their resultant magnitude is given as:

|\overrightarrow{v_{res}}|=\sqrt{|\overrightarrow{v_1}|^2+|\overrightarrow{v_2}|^2}

Plug in the given values and solve for the magnitude of the resultant.This gives,

|\overrightarrow{v_{res}}|=\sqrt{(120)^2+(120)^2}\\\\|\overrightarrow{v_{res}}|=120\sqrt{2} = 169.71\ km/h

Let the angle made by the resultant be 'x' degree with the east-west line or the x-axis.

So, the direction is given as:

x=\tan^{-1}(\frac{|v_2|}{|v_1|})\\\\x=\tan^{-1}(\frac{120}{-120})=\tan^{-1}(-1)=-45\ deg(clockwise\ angle\ with\ the\ x-axis)

Therefore, the resultant velocity is 169.71 km/h at angle of 45° measured clockwise with the x-axis or the east-west line.

Two skaters, a man and a woman, are standing on ice. Neglect any friction between the skate blades and the ice. The mass of the
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

a₁ = 0.63 m/s²  (East)

a₂ = -1.18 m/s²  (West)

Explanation:

m₁ = 95 Kg

m₂ = 51 Kg

F = 60 N

a₁ = ?

a₂ = ?

To get the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the man we apply

∑Fx = m*a   (⇒)

F = m₁*a₁         ⇒      60 N = 95 Kg*a₁    

⇒  a₁ = (60N / 95Kg) = 0.63 m/s²  (⇒)  East

To get the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the woman we apply

∑Fx = m*a   (⇒)

F = -m₂*a₂         ⇒      60 N = -51 Kg*a₂    

⇒  a₂ = (60N / 51Kg) = -1.18 m/s²  (West)

For every case we apply Newton’s 3 d Law
