The example I've given is shown as an illustration in the picture. Suppose a jogger covers 2 km as he heads to the east. Then, he heads up north for another 1.5 km. Now, if you are to find the distance, you simply have to take the sum.

Distance = 2 + 1.5 = 3.5 km

If you are to find the displacement, you find the distance from the starting point to the end point, represented by the red arrow. Using the pythagorean theorem,

Displacement = √(2 km)² + (1.5 km)² = 2.5 km

If you are to find the magnitude of displacement, this is equivalent to distance. So, it is equal to 3.5 km. The displacement is a vector quantity, which presents the magnitude and the direction. The magnitude of the displacement does not take into account the direction of motion, just the total distance covered.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

a) the charge of an electron is equivalent to the magnitude of the elementary charge but barring a negative sign since the side of the elementary charge is roughly 1.602 * 10 - 19 Columbus then the charge of the electronic is-1.602 * 10 - 19

b) b=2T on the electron moving in the magnetic field

A cyclist going downhill is accelerating at 1. 2 m/s2. If the final velocity of the cyclist is 16 m/s after 10 seconds, what is
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf v_i= 4 \ m/s}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find the cyclist's initial velocity. We are given the acceleration, final velocity, and time, so we will use the following kinematic equation.

v_f= v_i + at

The cyclist is acceleration at 1.2 meters per second squared. After 10 seconds, the velocity is 16 meters per second.

  • v_f= 16 m/s
  • a= 1.2 m/s²
  • t= 10 s

Substitute the values into the formula.

16 \ m/s = v_i + (1.2 \ m/s^2)(10 \ s)

Multiply.

16 \ m/s = v_i + (1.2 \ m/s^2 * 10 \ s)

16 \ m/s = v_i + 12 \ m/s

We are solving for the initial velocity, so we must isolate the variable v_i. Subtract 12 meters per second from both sides of the equation.

16 \ m/s - 12 \ m/s = v_i + 12 \ m/s -12 \ m/s

4 \ m/s = v_i

The cyclist's initial velocity is <u>4 meters per second.</u>
