Answer:

Distance is 5.0 km and displacement is 0 km.

Explanation:

The diagram is shown below.

Distance is the total length that the truck covers along the complete journey. The truck moves from a stone quarry covering a length of 2.5 km and then again come back to the same point and thus covering another 2.5 km. Therefore, the total length covered by the truck is the sum of forward and backward paths which is equal to 5.0 km.

Now, displacement depends only on the initial and final position. It is given as the difference of final position and initial position. So, the truck starts from stone quarry and returns back to the same position. So, the initial position and final position is same. Therefore, the difference is 0 and hence displacement is zero.

iren2701 [21]

Answer: g = 10.0 m/s/s

Explanation:

For a simple pendulum, provided that the angle between the lowest and highest point of his trajectory be small, the oscillation period is given by the following expression:

T = 2π √L/g , where L = pendulum length, g= accelleration of gravity.

We can also define the period, as the time needed to complete a full swing, so from the measured values, we can conclude the following :

T = 140 sec/ 101 cycles = 1.39 sec

Equating both definitions for T, we can solve for g, as follows:

g = 4 π² L / T² = 4π². 0.49 m / (1.39)² = 10.0 m/s/s

3. A 10-centimeter diameter solid sphere made of a conducting material has 10 micro-Coulombs of charge placed upon it. What is t

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

zero

Explanation:

For a solid conducting sphere, charges are present on the surface of the sphere due to a phenomenon known as electrostatic sheilding. This affects the charge present in the body and makes it zero. However, the electrostatic potential appears to be equal to the whole present point that shows on the surface. The surface of a spherical conducting solid sphere is known as an equipotential surface. Thus, the potential difference between the two opposite points on the surface of the sphere will also be zero.
