displacement is 4 km in north direction.


Explanation:

we are given

 A runner traveled 15 kilometers north first

then backtracked 11 kilometers south

we have to find displacement=d=?

assume that  east side represents +ve x- axis(horizontal)

and

north represent +ve y - axis (vertical)

we can take  x-axis (horizontal) as  i

and y-axis (vertical) as j.

Displacement = 15 j -11 j = 4 km north

<u>Answer:</u>

 Resultant displacement is 4 km north.

<u>Explanation:</u>

    Let east represents positive x- axis and north represent positive y - axis. Horizontal component is i and vertical component is j.

   A runner traveled 15 kilometers north then backtracked 11 kilometers south before stopping,

   So initial displacement, 15 kilometers north = 15 j km

        Second displacement, 11 kilometers south = -11 j km

   Total displacement = 15 j -11 j = 4 j km

   Total displacement is 4 km north.

Answer: The area of brick in contact with the floor is 1539 cm^{3}.

Explanation:

Given: Length = 19 cm

Width = 9 cm

Height = 9 cm

As the brick is rectangular in shape. Hence, its area will be calculated as follows.

Area = length \times width  \times height

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

Area = length \times width  \times height\\= 19 cm \times 9 cm \times 9 cm\\= 1539 cm^{3}

Thus, we can conclude that area of brick in contact with the floor is 1539 cm^{3}.

Which best explains how the diffraction pattern observed in young’s experiment supports the wave theory of light?.
KIM [24]

Answer: the airy pattern can only arise from wave propagation

Explanation:if particles went in straight lines through a slit, they would progate linearly and not interfere. The airy pattern arises from diffraction as waves interfere, producing peaks (constructive interference where peaks of waves from each slit coincide) and troughs (destructive interference where peaks and troughs of waves from each slit cancel out). If intensity rather than field is measured nodes occur where 0 values line up instead of troughs
