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.

Answer:

The frequency would double.

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of wave (v) = constant.

Frequency of wave initially (f₁) = 2 Hz

Initial wavelength of the wave (λ₁) = 1 m

Final wavelength of the wave (λ₂) = 0.5 m

Final frequency of the wave (f₂) = ?

We know that the product of wavelength and frequency of the wave is equal to the speed of the wave.

Therefore, framing in equation form, we have:

Wavelength × Frequency = Speed

\lambda\times f=v

It is given that speed of the wave remains the same. So, the product must always be a constant.

Therefore,

\lambda\times f=constant\ or\ \\\lambda_1\times f_1=\lambda_2\times f_2

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'f₂'. This gives,

1\times 2=0.5\times f_2\\\\f_2=\frac{2}{0.5}=4\ Hz

Therefore, the final frequency is 4 Hz which is double of the initial frequency.

f₂ = 2f₁ = 2 × 2 = 4 Hz

So, the second option is correct.

A tiger leaps with an initial velocity of 35.0 km/hr at an angle of 13.0ᶿ with respect to the horizontal. What are the component
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Vx = 35 x cos(13deg)

Vy = 35 x sin(13deg) - gt  

(g is acceleration due to gravity =~9.8 meter/second^2, t is time in second)

Explanation:

The tiger leaps up, then x and y component of its velocity are:

Vx = Vo x cos(alpha)

Vy = Vo x sin(alpha) - gt

(Vo is tiger's initial velocity, alpha is angle between its leaping direction and horizontal plane)

Hope this helps!

What tripositive ion has the electron configuration [kr] 4d3 ? what neutral atom has the electron configuration [kr] 5s 2 4d2 ?
tigry1 [53]

(a)

Electronic configuration is given as follows:

[Kr]4d^{3}

Since, this is the electronic configuration of ion with+3 that means 3 electrons are removed. On adding the 3 electrons, the electronic configuration of neutral atom can be obtained.

Thus, electronic configuration of neutral atom is [Kr]4d^{5}5s^{1}.

The atomic number of Kr is 36, thus, total number of electrons become 36+6=42.

This corresponds to element: molybdenum. Thus, the tripositive atom will be Mo^{3+}.

(b) The given electronic configuration is [Kr]5s^{2}4d^{2}.

The atomic number of Kr is 36, thus, total number of electrons become 36+4=40.

This corresponds to element zirconium, represented by symbol Zr.

________ reaction time involves selecting a specific and correct response from several choices when presented with several diffe
lukranit [14]
Simple reaction time involves selecting a specific and correct response from several choices when presented with several different stimuli. This is very important because historically, this was the first indicators of intelligence pioneered by Francis Galton. To measure one’s intelligence is to know how he quick a person could respond to the stimulus with an already expected response wherein the stimulus is given unknown to the receiver. In other terms, the intelligence is measured on how quick a person could grasp certain concepts and how he could think fast and answer them correctly. <span> </span>
