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.

What phenomenon causes the fuzzy image? What kind of lens is used to correct this, and how is it corrected?
mamaluj [8]
In optics, chromatic aberration (abbreviated CA; also called chromatic distortion and spherochromatism) is an effect resulting from dispersion in which there is a failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same convergence point.[1] It occurs because lenses have different refractive indices for different wavelengths of light. The refractive index of transparent materials decreases with increasing wavelength in degrees unique to each.

Juliette sets the initial velocity to +10 m/s, the acceleration to zero, and clicks “start.” How can Shakina describe the subseq
ICE Princess25 [194]

Explanation :

It is given that :

The initial velocity of the car is 10 m/s.

Juliette sets the acceleration to zero.

We know that, acceleration a=\frac{v-u}{t}\

where,

u is the initial velocity and v is the final velocity.

So, final velocity will become 10 m/s.

Hence, the car will move with the constant velocity i.e. 10 m/s.

So, Shakina described that the car will move with the constant velocity of 10 m/s as acceleration is zero.

What are the change in internal energy if 250 j of hear is added to a system of 80 j of work is done by the system
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Explanation:

dU= dq+w

dU is change in internal energy of the system

dq is the amount heat added or released by the system which be positive or negative respectivelý

And w is the amount of work done by the system or on the system which will be positive or negative respectively.

Hence,

dU= 250+80= 330 J

The change will be positive

The force that pulls away from a curve is known as __________ .
tatyana61 [14]

Answer: <u>Centrifugal Force </u>

Explanation:

The force that pulls out from the center on a body in circular motion is called centrifugal force and it increases with acceleration. Centrifugal force results in strong outward pull on your vehicle.
