Explanation:
<u>Speed vs Velocity
</u>
These are two similar physical concepts. They only differ in the fact that the velocity is vectorial, i.e. having magnitude and direction, and the speed is scalar, just the magnitude regardless of the direction. They are strongly related to the concepts of displacement and distance, which are the vectorial and scalar versions of the space traveled by a moving object. The velocity can be computed as
Where 
is the position vector and t is the time. The speed is
To compute , we only need to know the initial and final positions and subtract them. To compute d, we need to add all the distances traveled by the object, regardless of their directions.
Maggie walks to a friend's house, located 1500 meters from her place. The initial position is 0 and the final position is 1500 m. The displacement is
and the velocity is
Now, we know Maggie had to make three different turns of direction to finally get there. This means her distance is more than 1500 m. Let's say she walked 500 m in all the turns, then the distance is
If she took the same time to reach her destiny, she would have to run faster, because her average speed is
Answer:
x = 727.5 km
Explanation:
With the conditions given using trigonometry, we can find the tangent
tan θ = CO / CA
With CO the opposite leg and CE is the adjacent leg which is the distance from the Tierral to Sun
D =150 10⁶ km (1000m / 1 km)
D = 150 10⁹ m.
We must take the given angle to radians.
1º = 3600 arc s
π rad = 180º
θ = 1 arc s (1º / 3600 s arc) (pi rad / 180º) =
θ = 4.85 10⁻⁶ rad
That angle is extremely small, so we can approximate the tangent to the angle
θ = x / D
x = θ D
x = 4.85 10-6 150 109
x = 727.5 103 m
x = 727.5 km
You should note that the melting point of mercury is -38.83°C, while the boiling point is at 356.7°C. Then, that means that there is no latent heat involved here. We only compute for the sensible heat.
ΔH = mCpΔT
The Cp of mercury is 0.14 J/g·°C
Thus,
ΔH = (411 g)(0.14 J/g·°C)(88 - 12°C)
<em>ΔH = 4,373.04 J</em>
Answer:
constructive interference in which waves strengthen each other
Explanation:
Some definitions:
- Costructive interference occurs when two (or more) waves meet each other in phase, so with same displacement at the same point. In such situation, the two waves strengthen each other, and the amplitude of the resultant wave is the sum of the amplitudes of the individual waves
- Destructive interference occurs when two waves meet each other in anti-phase, so with opposite displacement at the same point. In such situation, the two waves cancel each other out, and the amplitude of the resultant wave is the difference of the amplitudes of the individual waves (which means zero if the two waves are identical)
For light waves interfering with each other, 'white' means costructive interference, while 'black' means destructive interference (because black is absence of colors, so this means that the waves cancel each other out). In this problem, we see that point X, Y and X are white, therefore they are point of constructive interference, where the waves strengthen each other.
