Answer:

2.828 km

Explanation:

radius of lake, r = 2 km

Let O be the centre of the circular lake and you walk from A to A to D.

Displacement is the measure of shortest distance between two points.

According to the diagram , the displacement AD is

AD^{2}=AO^{2}+OD^{2} (By using the Pythagorean theorem)

AD^{2}=2^{2}+2^{2}

AD = 2.828 km

thus, the displacement is 2.828 km.

Advocard [28]

The resultant in the x-direction:

Rx = F1 + F2 = 2.5 N - 1 N =  1.5 N .


The resultant in the y-direction:

Ry = F3 + F4 = 2 N - 3 N =  -1 N.

Two particles each have the same mass but particle #1 has four times the charge of particle #2. Particle #1 is accelerated from
marin [14]

Answer:

 v_2 = 2*v  

Explanation:

Given:

- Mass of both charges = m

- Charge 1 = Q_1

- Speed of particle 1 = v

- Charge 2 = 4*Q_1

- Potential difference p.d = 10 V

Find:

What speed does particle #2 attain?

Solution:

- The force on a charged particle in an electric field is given by:

                                       F = Q*V / r

Where, r is the distance from one end to another.

- The Net force acting on a charge accelerates it according to the Newton's second equation of motion:

                                      F_net = m*a

- Equate the two expressions:

                                      a = Q*V / m*r

- The speed of the particle in an electric field is given by third kinetic equation of motion.

                                      v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2*a*r

Where, v_f is the final velocity,

            v_i is the initial velocity = 0

                                      v_f^2 - 0 = 2*a*r

Substitute the expression for acceleration in equation of motion:

                                       v_f^2 = 2*(Q*V / m*r)*r

                                       v_f^2 = 2*Q*V / m

                                       v_f = sqrt (2*Q*V / m)

- The velocity of first particle is v:

                                       v = sqrt (20*Q / m)

- The velocity of second particle Q = 4Q

                                       v_2 = sqrt (20*4*Q / m)

                                       v_2 = 2*sqrt (20*Q / m)

                                       v_2 = 2*v

What is the role of the neutral wire
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The neutral wire is often confused with ground wire, but in reality, they serve two distinct purposes. Neutral wires carry currents back to power source to better control and regulate voltage. Its overall purpose is to serve as a path to return energy.
