Nataliya [291]3 years ago

Answer:

Distance = 26.0m Displacement = 4.0m

Explanation:

Distance specifies only how far an object has traveled while displacement is the distance traveled in a specified direction.

Total distance traveled by the object will be distance travelled through north + distance travelled through south i.e 15.0m + 11.0m = 26.0m

Displacement is gotten by using the Pythagoras theorem. Since the object traveled in the same vertical direction (15.0m through north which is upward i.e positive y direction and 11.0m through south i.e in the negative y direction), the displacement will be 15.0m - 11.0m = 4.0m

The work done in moving an electron through the 3 ohm resistor is
Orlov [11]
If the 3 ohm resistor is in parallel to the 12 ohm (I can't see it in the image) then the current through it is 12V/3ohm = 4A  Amps are Coulombs/s  The charge on the electron is 1.6e-19C   So 4 amps means 4/1.6e-19 = 2.5e19 electrons/s.
The reciprocal of this gives the number of electrons per second:
1/2.5e19 = 4e-20 s/(elect. charge)
The power in the 3 ohm resistor is 12*4=48W.  This is Joules/sec.  We know it takes on average 4e-20 s to get one electron charge through the resistor so we multiply:  48W * 4e-20s = 1.9e-18J
Note: In reality there are many electrons moving through the resistor together, and a single electron does not move this fast, but the total energy to do it would be equivalent to this.

After turning on the power source connected to your two electrodes, we expect to see the microbeads moving through the solution.
Rudik [331]

Answer:

the pearls have an electrical charge induced by contact with the ions of the solution and these charges are attracted by the electrode by a force electric

Explanation:

The pearls are suspended in a solution, when connecting the power source, it is subjected to an electric shock, the pearls have an electrical charge induced by contact with the ions of the solution and these charges are attracted by the electrode by a force electric

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

330.24 Hz

Explanation:

Given:

Frequency, f = 320 Hz

L1 = 25.8 cm

L2 = 78.4 cm

L3 = 131.1 cm

Let the wavelength be λ

Then, L1 which is the length of the column of air is  λ/4.

λ/4 = 25.8 cm

λ = 25.8 × 4 = 103.2 cm = 1.032 m

Then, speed of sound in air is:

v = λ f

⇒ v = 1.032 × 320 Hz

⇒ v = 330.24 m/s
