Hi!

When we're looking at a basic overview of a change in position, this is known as <em>displacement. </em>Displacement is a vector quantity, compared to distance, which is a scalar quantity.

What this means is that displacement is focusing on magnitude <em>and </em>direction<em />, instead of just the magnitude. 

Hopefully, this helps! =)

That's "displacement". It only depends on the beginning and ending locations, and doesn't care about the route between them.

Ionic compounds can be readily dissolved in water because the high dielectric constant of water screens and decreases the ______
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer: Electrostatic force

Explanation :

Ionic compounds can be readily dissolved in water because of the high dielectric constant of water screens and decrease the Electrostatic force between the oppositely charged ions.

Since water is a polar molecule and has a high valued dielectric constant. Water makes a bond with ions when dissolved and reduces the electrostatic forces that hold in a solid structure.

Two bodies, with heat capacitiesC1andC2(assumed independent oftemperature) and initial temperatureT1andT2, respectively, are pla
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Tբ = (C₁T₁ + C₂T₂)/(C₁ + C₂) = (C₁T₁)/(C₁ + C₂) + (C₂T₂)/(C₁ + C₂)

Explanation:

Let's Assume that T₁ > T₂, this means that, T₁ > Tբ > T₂

The zeroth law of thermodynamics explains that two bodies in thermal equilibrium will eventually end up with the same final body temperature.

Heat lost by body 1 = Heat gained by body 2

C₁ (T₁ - Tբ) = C₂ (Tբ - T₂)

C₁T₁ - C₁Tբ = C₂Tբ - C₂T₂

C₁Tբ + C₂Tբ = C₁T₁ + C₂T₂

Tբ(C₁ + C₂) = C₁T₁ + C₂T₂

Tբ = (C₁T₁ + C₂T₂)/(C₁ + C₂)

Tբ = (C₁T₁)/(C₁ + C₂) + (C₂T₂)/(C₁ + C₂)

Describe the current atmosphere on Mars. What evidence suggests that it must have been different in the past?
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The evidence of water that once was on mars

Explanation:

The martian atmosphere consists mostly of carbon dioxide, but is very thin, less than 1% of Earth's atmosphere. However, the strong evidence of water on Mars in the past that our missions have found means that the atmosphere must have been thicker and warmer, or water would have evaporated away very quickly.

A particle that is moving along a straight line accelerates from 40 cm/s to 20 cm/s in 5.0 s and then has a constant acceleratio
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Average speed,  v_{avg}=43.33\ \rm cm/s

Explanation:

Given:

  • Initial speed, u=40 cm/s
  • final speed , v=20 cm/s
  • Time taken, t=5 s

<u>First case</u>

Using equation of motion we have

2as=v^2-u^2\\2as=20^2-40^2\\as=-600\\

Now using,

v=u +at\\20=40+a\times5\\a=-4\ \rm cm/s^2

now putting the value of a in first equation we get

s=150\ \rm cm

<u>Second case</u>

Accelerationa=20\ \rm cm/s^2

Time taken t=4\ \rm s

using equation of motion in one Dimension we have

s=ut+\dfrac{at^2}{2}\\\\s=20\ties 4+\dfrac{20\times 4^2}{2}\\s=240\ \rm cm

Average speed is equal to total distance travelled per unit total time taken

v_{avg}=\dfrac{150+240}{5+4}\\v_{avg}=43.33\ \rm cm/s
