Answer:
Dear user,
Answer to your query is provided below
Acceleration is zero because of no change in velocity.
Explanation:
Remember that velocity is a vector quantity and a vector can change in 3 ways
•Magnitude only
•Direction only
•Both magnitude and direction.
Now the magnitude of velocity (speed) can stay constant while the direction is changing. This is the case in circular motion.
In the question above, it is mentioned that the girl is moving along a straight road. Therefore no change in direction of velocity.
Answer:
Erosion is the process of eroding or being eroded by wind, water, or other natural agents.
Explanation:
"the problem of soil erosion"
the gradual destruction or diminution of something.
"the erosion of support for the party"
are examples of how it could be used.
Explanation:
Suppose you want to shine a flashlight beam down a long, straight hallway. Just point the beam straight down the hallway -- light travels in straight lines, so it is no problem. What if the hallway has a bend in it? You could place a mirror at the bend to reflect the light beam around the corner. What if the hallway is very winding with multiple bends? You might line the walls with mirrors and angle the beam so that it bounces from side-to-side all along the hallway. This is exactly what happens in an optical fiber.
The light in a fiber-optic cable travels through the core (hallway) by constantly bouncing from the cladding (mirror-lined walls), a principle called total internal reflection. Because the cladding does not absorb any light from the core, the light wave can travel great distances.
However, some of the light signal degrades within the fiber, mostly due to impurities in the glass. The extent that the signal degrades depends on the purity of the glass and the wavelength of the transmitted light (for example, 850 nm = 60 to 75 percent/km; 1,300 nm = 50 to 60 percent/km; 1,550 nm is greater than 50 percent/km). Some premium optical fibers show much less signal degradation -- less than 10 percent/km at 1,550 nm.

To determine the displacement, since we are given the potential energy, we use the equation for potential energy. For a spring, it is one-half the product of the spring constant and the square of the displacement. We do as follows:
PE = kx^2/2
5 Nm = 50N/m (x^2)
x = 0.32 m
Therefore, the displacement would be 0.32 m.
