A boy walks in a circle, traveling a total of 10m, then finishing in the same spot where he started. What is the difference betw

een his displacement and the distance he traveled?

Answer:

<em>The boy had a 0 displacement and traveled a distance of 10 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Distance and Displacement</u>

Both concepts represent similar and often confusing parameters related to the motion of objects.

The displacement is a vector that measures the change of position an object has when moving. If ro is the initial position and r1 is the final position, then

\vec r=r_1- r_o

Note that if both positions are the same, then the displacement can be 0.

The distance is the sum of all distances traveled by the object in its movement, regardless of its initial and final positions.

The question states the boy walks in a circle traveling 10 m in total. It's an indication of the distance traveled.

As indicated above, if the initial and final positions coincide, then the displacement is 0.

Summarizing, the boy had a 0 displacement and traveled a distance of 10 m

Given that the block have two applied masses 250 g at East and 100 g at South. In order to make a situation in which block moves towards point A, we have to apply minimum number of masses to the blocks. In order to prevent block moving toward East, we have to apply a mass at West, equal to the magnitude of mass at East but opposite in direction. Therefore, mass of 250 g at West is the required additional mass that has to be added. There is already 100 g of mass acting at South, that will attract block towards South or point A. No need to add further mass in North-South direction.

A. How many atoms of helium gas fill a spherical balloon of diameter 29.6 cm at 19.0°C and 1.00 atm? b. What is the average kine
Korolek [52]

Answer:

a) 3.39 × 10²³ atoms

b) 6.04 × 10⁻²¹ J

c) 1349.35 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Diameter of the balloon, d = 29.6 cm = 0.296 m

Temperature, T = 19.0° C = 19 + 273 = 292 K

Pressure, P = 1.00 atm = 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa

Volume of the balloon = \frac{4}{3}\pi(\frac{d}{2})^3

or

Volume of the balloon = \frac{4}{3}\pi(\frac{0.296}{2})^3

or

Volume of the balloon, V = 0.0135 m³

Now,

From the relation,

PV = nRT

where,

n is the number of moles

R is the ideal gas constant = 8.314  kg⋅m²/s²⋅K⋅mol

on substituting the respective values, we get

1.013 × 10⁵ × 0.0135 = n × 8.314 × 292

or

n = 0.563

1 mol = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

Thus,

0.563 moles will have = 0.563 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms = 3.39 × 10²³ atoms

b) Average kinetic energy = \frac{3}{2}\times K_BT

where,

Boltzmann constant, K_B=1.3807\times10^{-23}J/K

Average kinetic energy = \frac{3}{2}\times1.3807\times10^{-23}\times292

or

Average kinetic energy = 6.04 × 10⁻²¹ J

c) rms speed = \frac{3RT}{m}

where, m is the molar mass of the Helium = 0.004 Kg

or

rms speed = \frac{3\times8.314\times292}{0.004}

or

rms speed = 1349.35 m/s

f your risk-aversion coefficient is A = 4 and you believe that the entire 1926–2015 period is representative of future expected
siniylev [52]

Answer:

The portfolio should invest 48.94% in equity while 51.05% in the T-bills.

Explanation:

As the complete question is not given here ,the table of data is missing which is as attached herewith.

From the maximized equation of the utility function it is evident that

Weight=\frac{E_M-r_f}{A\sigma_M^2}

For the equity, here as

  • Weight is percentage of the equity which is to be calculated
  • {E_M-r_f} is the Risk premium whose value as seen from the attached data for the period 1926-2015 is 8.30%
  • A is the risk aversion factor which is given as 4.
  • \sigma_M is the standard deviation of the portfolio which from the data for the period 1926-2015 is 20.59

By substituting values.

Weight=\frac{E_M-r_f}{A\sigma_M^2}\\Weight=\frac{8.30\%}{4(20.59\%)^2}\\Weight=0.4894 =48.94\%

So the weight of equity is 48.94%.

Now the weight of T bills is given as

Weight_{T-Bills}=1-Weight_{equity}\\Weight_{T-Bills}=1-0.4894\\Weight_{T-Bills}=0.5105=51.05\%\\

So  the weight of T-bills is 51.05%.

The portfolio should invest 48.94% in equity while 51.05% in the T-bills.
