He goes 12km north 6km east 12km south 3km west what is the distance and displacement
1 answer:
Distance is 33 km, displacement is 3 km east
Explanation:
- Distance is a scalar quantity equal to the total length of the path covered by an object during its motion, regardless of its direction.
- Displacement is a vector connecting the starting position of motion of an object to its final position. It is a vector quantity, therefore it has both magnitude and direction.
In this problem, the motion of the person is:
12 km north
6 km east
12 km south
3 km west
Therefore, the distance is:
The displacement instead can be calculated by comparing the final position with the initial position. We notice that:
- the person goes 12 km north and 12 km south, so he didn't move in the north-direction
- The person goes 6 km east and 3 km west, so his final position is 3 km east
Therefore, the displacement is 3 km east.

Answer:
9.98 × 10⁻⁹ C
Explanation:
mass, m = 1.00 × 10⁻¹¹ kg
Velocity, v = 23.0 m/s
Length of plates D₀ = 1.80 cm = 0.018 m
Magnitude of electric field, E = 8.20 × 10⁴ N/C
drop is to be deflected a distance d = 0.290 mm = 0.290 × 10⁻³ m
density of the ink drop = 1000 kg/m^3
Now,
Time =
or
Time =
or
Time = 6.9 × 10⁻⁴ s
Now, force due to the electric field, F = q × E
where, q is the charge
Also, Force = Mass × acceleration
q × E = 1.00 × 10⁻¹¹ × a
or
a =
Now from the Newton's equation of motion
where,
d is the distance
u is the initial speed
a is the acceleration
t is the time
or
or
q = 9.98 × 10⁻⁹ C
