An object moves 2.5 m. This is an example of a Distance

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Direction denotes whether positive or negative or the left and right direction of an object. Speed and velocity are used to represent the distance travelled by the object with respect to the time taken by the object to travel.

Distance and displacement denotes the position the object has travelled from its previous location. Hence Option A is correct and B, C, D are irrelevant.

Saturn has an orbital period of 29.46 years. In two or more complete sentences, explain how to calculate the average distance fr

vivado [14]

This question can be solved from the Kepler's law of planetary motion.

As per this law the square of time period of a planet is proportional to the cube of semi major axis.

Mathematically it can be written as $T^{2} \alpha R^{3}$

⇒ $T^{2} = KR^{3}$

Here K is the proportionality constant.

If $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ are the orbital periods of the planets and

$R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ are the distance of the planets from the sun, then Kepler's law can be written as-

$\frac{T_{1} ^{2} }{T_{2} ^{2} } =\frac{R_{1} ^{3} }{R_{2} ^{2} }$

⇒ $R_{1} ^{3} =R_{2} ^{3} *\frac{T_{1} ^{2} }{T_{2} ^{2} }$

Here we are asked to calculate the the distance of Saturn from sun.It can solved by comparing it with earth.

Let the distance from sun and orbital period of Saturn is denoted as $R_{1}$ and $T_{1}$ respectively.

Let the distance from sun and orbital period of earth is denoted as $R_{2}$ and $T_{2}$ respectively.

we are given that $T_{1} =29.46 years$

we know that $R_{2} =$ 1 AU and $T_{2} =$ 1 year.

1 AU is the mean distance of earth from the sun which is equal to 150 million kilometre.

Hence distance of Saturn from sun is calculated as -

From Kepler's law as mentioned above-

$R_{1} ^{3} =R_{2} ^{3} *\frac{T_{1} ^{2} }{T_{2} ^{2} }$

= $[1 ]^{3} *\frac{[29.46]^{2} }{[1]^{2} } AU$

$=867.8916 AU^{3}$

⇒ $R_{1} =\sqrt[3]{867.8916}$

=9.5386 AU [ans]

Give reason for the following observation

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer: The smell of hot sizzling food reaches you several metres away, but to get the smell from cold food you have to go close because the kinetic energy of the particles of matter increases with the increase in temperature. In cold foods, kinetic energy is less while in hot foods, kinetic energy is more

At the negative terminal of the battery the electron has electric potential energy. What happens to this energy as the electron

leva [86]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is defined as the energy obtained by a substance due to its motion. So, when an electron or substance is moving from one point to another then the electron has acquired a motion.

Hence, this means that the electron has acquired kinetic energy.

For example, when an electron jumps from the negative to the positive terminal then it means the electron is moving. Hence, it has obtained a motion.

Thus, we can conclude that as the electron jumps from the negative to the positive terminal as the electron jumps from the negative to the positive terminal.
