A person would be driving 4 blocks west from the starting point to make the shorter distance while maintaining same displacement.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The measurement of an object’s position change from its point is called displacement. It is usually calculated from starting to the end points and represented by ‘delta s’. In the given scenarios, the person drove in the way that he finals the driving by 4 blocks away from the west.

Means, the persons drive to 8 blocks north and then to 8 blocks south get cancelled. Hence, to make the shorter distance with maintaining same displacement he would be driving 4 blocks west from the starting point.

A resistor, an inductor, and a switch are all connected in series to an ideal battery of constant terminal voltage. Suppose at f
Airida [17]

Answer:

c. The steady-state value of the current depends on the resistance of the resistor.

Explanation:

Since all the components are connected in series, when the switch is at first open, current will not flow round the circuit. As current needs to flow through from the positive terminal of the battery through the resistor, inductor, and  switch to the negative terminal of the battery.

But the moment the switch is closed, at the initial time t = 0, the current flow through from the positive terminal of the battery through the resistor, inductor, and switch to the negative terminal of the battery. It then begins to increase at a rate that depends upon the value of the inductance of the inductor.

A block rides on a piston that is moving vertically with simple harmonic motion. (a) If the SHM has period 2.68 s, at what ampli
fredd [130]

Answer:

Part a)

A = 1.78 m

Part b)

f = 2 rev/s

Explanation:

Part A)

As we know that time period of the motion is given as

T = 2.68 s

so we have

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{2.68}

\omega = 2.34 rad/s

now at the point of maximum amplitude the force equation when Normal force is about to zero is given as

mg = m\omega^2 A

so we have

A = \frac{g}{\omega^2}

A = \frac{9.81}{2.34^2}

A = 1.78 m

Part b)

Now if the amplitude of the SHM is 6.23 cm

and now at this amplitude if object will lose the contact then in that case again we have

mg = m\omega^2 A

g = \omega^2 (0.0623)

\omega = 12.5 rad/s

so now we have

2\pi f = 12.5

f = 2 rev/s

Following are the different layers of the sun’s atmosphere. Rank them based on the order in which a probe would encounter them w
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Going from earth to the sun a probe would encounter the next layers in order:

  • Corona
  • Transition Region
  • Chromosphere
  • Photosphere
  • Convection Zone
  • Radiative Zone
  • Core

A brief description of them:

Corona is the outermost layer and it cannot  be seen with the naked eye, is starts at about 2100 km from the surface of the sun and it has no limit defined.

Transition Region is between the corona and the chromosphere, it has an extension of about 100km

The chromosphere is between 400 km from the surface of the sun to 2100 km. In this layer the further you get away from the sun it gets hotter.

The photosphere is the surface of the sun, the part that we can see, and extends from the surface to 400km.

The convection zone is where convection happens, hot gas rises, cools and rises again.

Radiative Zone is where the photons try to rise to move to higher layers.

The core of the Sun is where nuclear fusion occurs due to the very high temperatures.

Which statements provides evidence that the earth revolves around the sun
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Different star constellations are visible from Earth at different seasons of the year.

Explanation:

The reason the fact that we can see different constellations in the sky during different seasons on earth is the most compelling reason we travel around the sun is because if the sun travelled around the earth, certain constellations would only be visible in certain places. You’d have to travel to see certain ones.

However, you don’t have to do that because we travel around the sun, therefore travelling around other stars too.

Why do quarterbacks throw the football with significant spin about its long axis?
Lera25 [3.4K]

(a) the principle of aerodynamic convergence

(b) the centripetal force

(c) Conservation of angular momentum

(d) Conservation of kinetic energy

(e) None of these

Conservation of angular momentum

Answer: Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The law of conservation of angular momentum expresses that when no outer torque follows up on an article, no difference in precise force will happen.

The law of conservation of angular momentum expresses that the angular energy of a body that is the result of its snapshot of latency about the hub of revolution and its rakish speed about a similar pivot, can't change except if an outside torque follows up on the framework.
