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:

d=12+6+12+3=33 km

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.

A voltage amplifier with an input resistance of 40k ohms, an output resistance of 100 ohms, and a gain of 300 V/V is connected b
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

89.45 v/v

Explanation:

Let's take the data:

First draw the amplifier circuit.

After the circuit, the voltage division rule can be used to compute the parameters:

The input section is computed like this: \frac{R_{in} }{(R_{sig}  + R_{in} }  (v_{sig})

The output section is computed like this R_{L}/ (R_out}  + R_{in} )

The product AV_{in} V_{out} gives

AV_{in} V_{out}  = A×\frac{R_{in} }{(R_{sig}  + R_{in} }  (v_{sig})×R_{L}/ (R_out}  + R_{in} )

Computing gives output voltage = 89.45 v/v

Calculate the mass 9f the earth, assuring that uts is sphere with radius 6.67×10^6m.​
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

6.86 × 10²⁴ kg

Explanation:

The mass of the earth m = density of earth, ρ × volume of earth, V

m = ρV

The density of the earth, ρ = 5515 kg/m³ and since the earth is a sphere, its volume is the volume of a sphere V = 4πr³/3 where r = radius of the earth = 6.67 × 10⁶ m

Since m = ρV

m = ρ4πr³/3

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation for the mass of the earth, m, we have

m = 5515 kg/m³ × 4π(6.67 × 10⁶ m)³/3

m = 5515 kg/m³ × 4π × 296.741 × 10¹⁸ m³/3

m = 5515 kg/m³ × 1189.9639π × 10¹⁸ m³/3

m = 6546105.64378π × 10¹⁸ kg/3

m = 20565197.400122 × 10¹⁸ kg/3

m = 6855065.8 × 10¹⁸ kg

m = 6.8550658 × 10²⁴ kg

m ≅ 6.86 × 10²⁴ kg

Horace has invented a unique pair of reading glasses that have two small light bulbs at the bottom wired in series, so that he c
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The current drawn by Horace’s reading glasses is 0.8 A.

Explanation:  

Given that,

Resistance of each bulb, R = 2 ohms

Voltage of the system, V = 3.2 volts

These two bulbs are connected in series. The equivalent resistance will be 2 ohms +2 ohms = 4 ohms

Let I is the current drawn by Horace’s reading glasses. Using Ohm's law to find it such that :

V=IR\\\\I=\dfrac{V}{R}\\\\I=\dfrac{3.2}{4}\\\\I=0.8\ A

So, the current drawn by Horace’s reading glasses is 0.8 A.
