Displacement only measure how far between the starting and ending point. In this case, Lisa walks around the block as a circle so the starting point is the same as the ending point. Thus, displacement is 0mile.
On the other hand, distance measures exactly how far she walks. In this case, the distance is 1 mile, same as the perimeter of the block.

Atomic nuclei are made of protons and neutrons. This fact by itself shows thatthere must be some other type of force in addition
Stells [14]

Protons and neutrons are packed together in a very small region called nucleus. Protons are positively charged and we know that like charges repel. Then how is it that protons are not repelling each other and flying away from nucleus?

You may think that gravitational force is holding all the protons together but it is not so. Gravitational force is many times weaker than repulsive force.

It is actually strong force which holds proton together. At this short distance, strong force comes into play and is several times stronger than the repulsive force.

Which of the following is NOT an argument for showing that the Earth must be round: a. during an eclipse of the Moon, the shadow
Hitman42 [59]

Answer: The correct option is option E (the Sun is seen blocking different constellations in the course of a year.

Explanation:

The earth, which is one of the planets of the solar system that supports life, is shperical in shape. The spherical ( round) shape of the earth is marked by the intervening highlands and oceans on its surface.

Evidence to show that the earth is shperical are:

--> The Lunar eclipse: During an eclipse of the Moon, the shadow of the Earth is always seen to be round.

--> Ships Visibility: When ships travel a large distance away, we see their hulls disappear first and their masts disappear last.

-->Altitude of Polaris (North Star): The height of the North Star changes as we travel to different latitudes. That is ,increases as you move toward the North pole, or decreases as you move toward the equator.

--> Aerial photographs: Photographs of the Earth from space always show a round body.

The statement that doesn't prove that the earth is spherical in shape is (the Sun is seen blocking different constellations in the course of a year). The sun is seen in front of stars blocking different constellation in a year because the earth orbits round the sun in a year and not that it is shperical in shape.

A positive charge +q1 is located to the left of a negative charge -q2. On a line passing through the two charges, there are two
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

please the answer below

Explanation:

(a) If we assume that our origin of coordinates is at the position of charge q1, we have that the potential in both points is

V_1=k\frac{q_1}{r-1.0}-k\frac{q_2}{1.0}=0\\\\V_2=k\frac{q_1}{r+5.2}-k\frac{q_2}{5.2}=0\\\\

k=8.89*10^9

For both cases we have

k\frac{q_1}{r-1.0}=k\frac{q_2}{1.0}\\\\q_1(1.0)=q_2(r-1.0)\\\\r=\frac{q_1+q_2}{q_2}\\\\k\frac{q_1}{r+5.2}=k\frac{q_2}{5.2}\\\\q_1(5.2)=q_2(r+5.2)\\\\r=\frac{5.2q_1-5.2q_2}{q_2}

(b) by replacing this values of r in the expression for V we obtain

k\frac{q_1}{\frac{5.2(q_1-q_2)}{q_2}+5.2}=k\frac{q_2}{5.2}\\\\\frac{q_1}{q_2}=\frac{(q_1-q_2)}{q_2}-1.0=\frac{q_1-q_2-q_2}{q_2}=\frac{q_1-2q_2}{q_2}

hope this helps!!

Which are most likely to be used during a routine visit to the dentist?
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

The most likely items to be used are;

Ultrasound and X-rays

Explanation:

A routine visit to a dentist consists of two areas of activities, including;

a) Dental examination and check up

b) Oral prophylaxis, and dental cleaning

The dental examination may involve the use of X-rays, which allow the detection of cavities between the teeth

The dental cleaning can be carried out with the use of an ultrasound cleaner, which allow the cleaning of sensitive teeth without hurting the patient

Therefore, the items most likely to be used during a routine dental visit are ultrasound and X-rays
