A truck travels to and from a stone quarry that is located 2.5km to the east.

Physics
1 answer:
Harrizon [31]3 years ago
5 0

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.

Gretchen runs the first 4.0 km of a race at 5.0 m/s. Then a stiff wind comes up, so she runs the last 1.0 km at only 4.0 m/s.
KIM [24]

Answer:

The velocity is v = 4.76 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The first distance is   d_1  =  4.0 \ km  =  4000 \ m

   The  first speed  is  v_1 =  5.0 \ m/s

    The  second distance is  d_2  =  1.0 \ km  =  1000 \ m

    The  second speed  is  v_2  =  4.0 \ m/s

Generally the time taken for first distance is  

      t_1 =  \frac{d_1 }{v_1 }

        t_1 =  \frac{4000}{5}

       t_1 =  800 \ s

The time taken for second  distance is

           t_1 =  \frac{d_2 }{v_2 }

        t_1 =  \frac{1000}{4}

       t_1 =  250 \ s

The total time is mathematically represented as

     t =  t_1 + t_2

=>   t =  800 + 250

=>    t =  1050 \ s

Generally the constant velocity that would let her finish at the same time is mathematically represented as

      v =  \frac{d_1 + d_2}{t }

=>    v =  \frac{4000 + 1000}{1050 }

=>    v = 4.76 \ m/s

im no scientist but im pretty sure cool stars are warm colors and hot stars are cool colors, so red would be more cooler than blue.

during convection, hot material _____ (expands & sinks, cools & rises, expands & rises, deflates & rises) then m
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

During convection, hot material expands & rises then moves to the side and cools & sinks. this circular pattern is called a convection current.

Explanation:

Convection is one of the three methods of transfer of heat. It occurs only in fluids (liquids or gases).

Convection occurs when there is a source of heat that heats a fluid, such as in a boiling pot of water. The water which is on the bottom of the pot becomes warmer before than the water at the top (because it is closer to the flame), and so it becomes less dense: for this reason, it expands and it becomes rising. On the contrary, the water on top is colder, so it is more dense and starts sinking, replacing the warmer water. As the new part of water gets warmer, it starts rising, and so the process is continuously repeated. This circular current is called convection current.

(a) What is the ionization energy of a hydrogen atom that is in the n = 6 excited state? (b) For a hydrogen atom, determine the
crimeas [40]

Answer:

(a) 0.3778 eV

(b) Ratio = 0.0278

Explanation:

The Bohr's formula for the calculation of the energy of the electron in nth orbit is:

E=\frac {-13.6}{n^2}\ eV

(a) The energy of the electron in n= 6 excited state is:

E=\frac {-13.6}{6^2}\ eV

E=-0.3778\ eV

Ionisation energy is the amount of this energy required to remove the electron. Thus, |E| = 0.3778 eV

(b) For first orbit energy is:

E=\frac {-13.6}{1^2}\ eV

E=-13.6\ eV

Ratio=\frac {E_6}{E_1}

Ratio=\frac {-0.3778}{-13.6}

Ratio = 0.0278
