Explanation:

Check out the picture I drew for a minute before reading this...

B. Distance [the red line] is a scalar quantity reflecting how far an object has traveled. Displacement [the green line] is a vector quantity reflecting how far an object has moved from a point. The key difference is that distance can be any sort of path while displacement is always a vector (or a straight line) between a starting point and a finishing point. Sometimes distance and displacement are equal to one another. Sometimes you have a distance traveled, but zero displacement overall; which is what's going on in your question.

A. The distance that the racecar traveled is indeed 500m. But at the end of the lap, it is right back where it started. So overall, it has been displaced 0m.

How do you move the decimal from megameters to meters?

Deffense [45]

The prefix "mega" means million.
Therefore
1 megameter = 10⁶ meters

That is,
1.0 megameter = 1,000,000.0 meters.

Answer:
The decimal is moved right by 6 places to convert a megameter to meters.

Answer:

The emission spectrum is always the same and can be used to identify the element and part of the Bohr model proposed that electrons in the hydrogen are located in particular orbits around the nucleos are True.

Explanation:

The Niels Bohr and quantic mecanic theorys are both based on the study of atomics spectrums. The atomic spectrum is a characteristic pattern of a light wavelenght emited wich is unique to each element.

For example, if we put some low pressure hydrogen in a glass tube and in the tp of the glass we apply a voltage big enough to produce a electric current in the hydrogen gas, the tube its going to emit light wich have a color dependig of the gas element in the interior. If we observe this light with a spectrometer we are going to see shining lines and each one of this lines have a wavelenght and diferent colors. This lines are called emission spectrum and the wavelength of that spectrum are unique to eache element.

Summering up, we can identify elements using the emission spectrum because any element produces the same spectrum than other element.

According to Niels Bhor theory the electron only can be in especific discret ratios to the nucleus. Where this electron moves himself in circukar orbits under the influence of the Coulomb attraction force.

As a roller coaster car crosses the top of a 50-m-diameter loop-the-loop, its apparent weight is the same as its true weight.

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:22.36 m/s

Explanation:

Given

the diameter of loop d=50 m

the radius of loop r=25 m

At the top position, we can write,

weight and Normal reaction combination will provide the centripetal force i.e.

$R+W=\frac{mv^2}{r}$
