alisha [4.7K]4 years ago
6 0
<span>Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.</span>

If friction is ignored and the ball is dropped, it experiences a gain in ____ and a decrease in ___. Question 8 options: kinetic
seropon [69]

Answer:

My answer is when the ball is going it experience kinetic energy which is the energy of a moving object while when the ball has stopped then it will have potential energy which means it's at rest so for the ball not to experience friction then there is a gain in kinetic energy and decrease in potential energy.

A converging lens brings rays of light together at a focal point. the bending of light rays is the result of
disa [49]
The bending of light rays is the result of refraction of light passing through the lens. A converging lens is curved on both sides such that the rays coming out of it come together at a point (converge). The point at which the right rays meet after refraction is called the focal point which is a real in the convex lens.

Student bikes to school by traveling first dN = 1.10 miles north, then dW = 0.300 miles west, and finally dS = 0.200 miles south
melisa1 [442]
Taking the vertical component of the displacement
1.1 - 0.2 = 0.9 mile
The horizontal component of the displacement
-0.3 mile

The magnitude of the displacement is
√[ (0.9)² + (-0.3) ] = 0.95 mile

The direction is
θ = tan-1 (-0.3/0.9)
θ = 161.57 degrees.

In a parallel circuit the current A stays in one path B splits and goes through two components C makes one circle
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

B splits and goes through two components

Explanation:

- A series circuit is a circuit in which the components are all connected along the same branch: as a result, the current flowing through the components is the same, while the sum of the potential differences across each component is equal to the emf of the battery

- A parallel circuit is a circuit consisting of separate branches, so that each branch has a potential difference equal to the emf of the battery. As a result, in such a circuit the current in the circuit splits and goes through the different branches/components.

So, the correct answer is

B splits and goes through two components
