Answer:

141.147 km

Explanation:

$sin45=\frac{BD}{BC}\\\Rightarrow BD=BCsin45\\\Rightarrow BD=40\times sin45\\\Rightarrow BD=28.28\ km$

Now, AE=BD also CD=BD as the angle B and C are equal

So, from Pythagoras theorem

AC² = AE²+(CD+DE)²

$AC=\sqrt{AE^2+(CD+DE)^2}\\\Rightarrow AC=\sqrt{(40\times sin45)^2+(110+40\times sin45)^2}\\\Rightarrow AC=141.147\ km$

Displacement of the car is 141.147 km

What is the relationship between electric fields and magnetic fields

Zanzabum

Relation between Electric and magnetic fields. I've read that both the electric and magnetic field vectors are perpendicular to each other in an electromagnetic wave. Passing steady current through a straight conductor shows some magnetic flux (because most of the energy is wasted into outer space as magnetic lines).

What is hydrometer? Describe its use and any one type of hydrometer.

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

An instrument for measuring the density of liquids.

Explanation:

A hydrometer is an instrument used to determine specific gravity. It operates based on the Archimedes principle that a solid body displaces its own weight within a liquid in which it floats. Hydrometers can be divided into two general classes: liquids heavier than water and liquids lighter than water.

Thermohydrometers is one type of hydrometer.

Consider a particle with unit charge q, and mass m, in a constant magnetic field B directed along the positive z–axis. The parti

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

it must be helical motion in which the charge particle will move uniformly along z axis and simultaneously it will move in circular path in xy plane.

Explanation:

Magnetic field is along z axis while velocity is in x-z plane

so we will have

$F = q(\vec v \times \vec B)$

so here we can say

$F = q(u\hat i + w\hat k) \times (B \hat k)$

so we will have

$F = quB(-\hat j)$

so here the net force on the charge is perpendicular to its x directional velocity along - Y direction

So due to this component of motion it will move along a circle while other component of the motion will remain uniform always

So here it is combination of two parts

1) Uniform circular motion

2) Uniform motion

So we can say that it must be helical motion in which the charge particle will move uniformly along z axis and simultaneously it will move in circular path in xy plane.
