An ant carries a morsel of food 4.26 meters along a straight path to his nest. He then turns around and follows the path back to

the source of the food. What is his displacement when he arrives back at the food source?

The displacement is zero. The most important concept to understand is the difference between displacement and total distance traveled. Total distance traveled would be tracking the length of the entire path the ant walked for the whole time (4.26m x 2). Displacement is how far from a designated origin (here, the food source) the ant ended up at the end of the time. Mathematically, the ant walked 4.26m from food source to nest (+4.26m) and then walked from the nest to food source (-4.26m), so the net displacement is [+4.26] + [-4.26] = 0m.

A paper-filled capacitor is charged to a potential difference of V0=2.5 V. The dielectric constant of paper is k=3.7 . The capac
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

k =  6.72

Explanation:

K of paper = 3.7

k of air = 1

Given that charge Q on the capacitor is constant because cell is disconnected from the circuit. So

V = Q / C = 2.5

Capacity becomes C / 3.7 in air .

capacity becomes C/3.7 when paper is replaced by air .

V₁ = Q / (C/3.7)

= 3.7 Q/C

3.7 x 2.5

= 9.25 V

In the second case ,

capacitance  due to new unknown dielectric k

= C/3.7 x k

= kC / 3.7 ( Capacitance in air is C/3.7 )

V ( new ) = Q / ( kC/3.7 )

= 3.7 Q/kC

.55 x 2.5 = 3.7 x( 2.5 / k )

k = 3.7 / .55

= 6.72

One form of energy can be _____ another type of energy.
kotegsom [21]

We can answer this one very quickly.  From the <em>Law of Conservation of Energy</em>, we know that "Energy can't be created or destroyed.".

So that only leaves us one way to complete the sentence in this question:

"One form of energy can be <em>transformed into</em> another type of energy. "  <em>(B)</em>

A particular planet has a moment of inertia of 9.74 × 1037 kg ⋅ m2 and a mass of 5.98 × 1024 kg. Based on these values, what is
malfutka [58]

Answer:  A) 6.38(10)^{6} m

Explanation:

The equation for the moment of inertia I of a sphere is:

I=\frac{2}{5}mr^{2} (1)

Where:

I=9.74(10)^{37}kg m^{2} is the moment of inertia of the planet (assumed with the shape of a sphere)

m=5.98(10)^{24}kg is the mass of the planet

r is the radius of the planet

Isolating r from (1):

r=\sqrt{\frac{5I}{2m}} (2)

Solving:

r=\sqrt{\frac{5(9.74(10)^{37}kg m^{2})}{2(5.98(10)^{24}kg)}} (3)

Finally:

r=6381149.077m \approx 6.38(10)^{6} m

Therefore, the correct option is A.
