Answer:

Explanation:

Displacement is the shortest distance possible between initial and final position.

As the athlete is in circular motion , displacement is zero. [ THis is because , the initial and final position is the same ]

Distance covered in 1 round = Circumference of the circle

Circumference of the circle = 2πr

Diameter = 200 m

Radius = 100 m

Distance covered in 1 round[ 40 sec ] = 2 × 22/7 × 100 = 628.57 m

Distance covered in 1 sec = 628.57 ÷ 40 = 15.71 m

2min 20 sec = 140 sec

Distance covered in 140 sec = 15.71 × 140 = 2199.4 m

For each complete round the displacement is zero. Therefore for 3 complete rounds, the displacement will be zero.

At the end of his motion, the athlete will be in the diametrically opposite position. That is, displacement = diameter = 200 m.

Hence, the distance covered is 2200 m and the displacement is 200 m.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

The hydrogen fusion process will begin after the protostar reaches a temperature of 10 million degrees kelvin, and it will then turn into a stable star.

<h3>How does a protostar become a stable star?</h3>

The interstellar medium can sometimes be gathered into a large nebula, which is a cloud of gas and dust. A nebula can span a number of light years. These nebulae are where gas and dust can combine to produce stars. Until a star can combine hydrogen into helium, it cannot be considered a star. They are referred to as protostars before then. As gravity starts to gather the gases into a ball, a protostar is created. Accrution is the term for this procedure.

Gravitational energy starts to heat the gasses as gravity draws them into the ball's core, which causes the gasses to radiate radiation. Radiation initially just dissipates into space. However, much of the radiation is retained inside the protostar as it draws in stuff and becomes denser, which causes the protostar to heat up even more quickly.

The hydrogen fusion process will begin after the protostar reaches a temperature of 10 million degrees kelvin, and it will then turn into a star.

Why are all bodies in nature electrically neutral? short answer please​
DENIUS [597]

Answer: because they have equal numbers of protons

Explanation: Atoms are electrically neutral because they have equal numbers of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). If an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it becomes an ion

Answer:

...

Explanation:

sigh its not that hard

Any liquid takes form of the shape of the container it goes into.

Gasses take the form of the whole thing because it spreads throughout it.

Solids are already a shape so it cant take the shape of the container if it already has one. yk

Consider a string with a length of (47.5 A) cm tied at both end (like on a stringed instrument). If the frequency of the first h
zubka84 [21]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to wavelength as a function of frequency and speed, as well as to determine the wavelength as a function of length.

From the harmonic vibration generated we know that the total length of the string will be equivalent to a half of the wavelength, that is

L = \frac{\lambda}{2} \rightarrow \lambda = 2L

Where,

\lambda = Wavelength

Therefore the wavelength for us would be,

\lambda = 2*47.5cm = 95cm = 0.95m

From the relationship of speed, frequency and wavelength we know that

\lambda = \frac{v}{f} \rightarrow v = \lambda f

v = (0.95m)(245Hz)

v = 232.75 m/s

Therefore the speed of the wave is 232.75m/s
