If you ride your bicycle down a straight road for 500m then turn around and ride back, your distance is greater than your displacement.

Answer: A

Explanation

Here, distance is the total measurement the rider drives from starting to the ending point and back from the ending point to the starting point.

It is given that the rider travels a straight road of 500 m.

The distance d1, in which rider starts from the starting point to the ending point is 500m.

The distance d2, in which rider starts from ending point back to the starting point is 500m. Therefore total distance= d1+d2=500+500= 1000m.

Displacement, the shortest distance from the initial (here starting point) to final (ends at starting point) position of the rider. Therefore the displacement, in this case, = 0m.

So distance-1000m>displacement-0m.

Answer:

C-less than

Explanation:

Distance is total distance traveled (1000m here if you stop where you started).

Displacement is your final distance from where you started (0m if you stop where you started).

0m<1000m

What is the theory behind a ticker tape lab?

Lana71 [14]

Purpose: experiments will use it to measure the straight-line accelerated motion of a human hand. The displacement data will be measured and velocity and acceleration will be calculated, run the ticker tape under the guides on the timer and under the carbon circle.Hope this helps! ; )

The sound level at a distance of 2.30 m from a source is 115 dB. At what distance will the sound level have the following values

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

distance is 13 m for 100 dB

distance is 409 km for 10 dB

Explanation:

Given data

distance r = 2.30 m

source β = 115 dB

to find out

distance at sound level 100 dB and 10 dB

solution

first we calculate here power and intensity and with this power and intensity we will find distance

we know sound level β = 10 log(I/ $I_{0}$ ) ......................a

put here value (I/ $I_{0}$ ) = 10^−12 W/m² and β = 115

115 = 10 log(I/10^−12)

I = 0.316228 W/m²

and we know power = intensity × 4π r² ...............b

power = 0.316228 × 4π (2.30)²

power = 21.021604 W

we know at 100 dB intensity is 0.01 W/m²

so by equation b

power = intensity × 4π r²

21.021604 = 0.01 × 4π r²

so by solving r

r = 12.933855 m = 13 m

distance is 13 m

and

at 10 dB intensity is 1 × 10^–11 W/m²

so by equation b

power = intensity × 4π r²

21.021604 = 1 × 10^–11 × 4π r²

by solving r we get

r = 409004.412465 m = 409 km

What is the formula for calculating the efficiency of a heat engine?

Anton [14]

Answer:

Efficiency = StartFraction T Subscript h Baseline minus T Subscript C Baseline over T Subscript h Baseline EndFraction times 100. Efficiency equals T Subscript c Baseline minus T Subscript h Baseline over T Subscript h Baseline all times 100.

Why the unit of power is called derived unit? <br>

Lilit [14]

A :-) it was given the name Newton (N). from this, the derived unit of energy (or work) is defined ,as the work produced when the unit of force causes a displacement equal to the unit of length of its point of application along its direction . It was given the name Joule (J).
