What is the magnitude of your displacement when you follow directions that tell you to walk 100.0m north, then 25.0m East?

Answer:

Displacement from the starting position is 103.21m

Explanation:

If you draw these directions, it will create the two legs of a triangle.

Using this method, you can visualize why your displacement is what it is.

Using the pythagorean theorem

${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2}$

Plug in both values

${100m}^{2} + {25m}^{2} = {c}^{2}$

$c = \sqrt{10652}$

c = 103.2085

c= 103.21

pshyical change is a usually reversible change of a substance, as size or shape: Freezing a liquid is a physical change. Compare chemical change.

internal change is when the movement of the particles increases

A resistor, capacitor, and switch are all connected in series to an ideal battery of constant terminal voltage. Initially, the s

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The voltage across the resistor is zero, and the voltage across the capacitor is equal to the terminal voltage of the battery.

Explanation:

This is because when a capacitor is charged no current or voltage flows through it so it will have a voltage equal to the terminal voltage of the battery

A certain frictionless simple pendulum having a length l and mass m swings with period t. If both l and m are doubled, what is t

iVinArrow [24]

If l and m both are doubled then the period becomes √2*T

what is a simple pendulum?

It is the one which can be considered to be a point mass suspended from a string or rod of negligible mass.

A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely.

Here,

A certain frictionless simple pendulum having a length l and mass m

mass of pendulum = m

length of the pendulum = l

The period of simple pendulum is:

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }$

Where k is the constant.

Now the length and mass are doubled,

m' = 2m

l' = 2l

$T' = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{2l}{g} }$

$T' = \sqrt{2}* 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }$

$T' = \sqrt{2} * T$

Hence,

If l and m both are doubled then the period becomes √2*T

__________ is a developmental defect in which a portion of the spinal cord protrudes outside the vertebrae.

7nadin3 [17]

Answer: Spina bifida

Explanation:

Spina bifida is a developmental defect in which a portion of the spinal cord protrudes outside the vertebrae.

Spina bifida is a birth defect that occurs when there is improper formation of the spine and spinal cord. It's a type of neural tube defect. The structure in a developing embryo that eventually becomes the baby's brain, spinal cord and the tissues that enclose them is the neutral tube.

If a nucleus decays by gamma decay to a daughter nucleus, which of the following statements about this decay are correct? (There

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A gamma particle is basically a photon of electromagnetic radiation with a short wavelength.

Symbol of a gamma particle is $^{0}_{0}\gamma$ . Hence, charge on a gamma particle is also 0.

For example, $^{234}_{91}Pa \rightarrow ^{234}_{91}Pa + ^{0}_{0}\gamma + Energy$

So, when a nucleus decays by gamma decay to a daughter nucleus then there will occur no change in the number of protons and neutrons of the parent atom but there will be loss of energy as a nuclear reaction has occurred.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement daughter nucleus has the same number of nucleons as the original nucleus., is correct about if a nucleus decays by gamma decay to a daughter nucleus.
