Measure if how far an object has moved.

Physics
1 answer:
djyliett [7]3 years ago
5 0
You can't really measure how far an object has moved. If you weren't
watching it the whole time, you can only measure how far it <em>IS</em> now from
where it started, but you don't know what route it traveled to get there.

The distance between where it started and where it ended up is called
the object's "displacement".  That's the length of the straight line between
those two points.  And it's also the shortest possible distance the object
could have moved in order to get to where it is now.

Funny thing:  When you walk all the way around a yard, a track, or a building,
or drive a car one lap around the track, your <em>displacement</em> is zero, because
you end up in the same place you started from, and the distance is zero.
If somebody saw you before and after, but didn't see you walk or drive,
they wouldn't know that you had moved at all.

Imagine you are studying the turgor pressure at two different ends of a sieve tube. One end of the sieve tube is located within
maksim [4K]

Answer:

You will find out that the turgor pressure will be greater at the leaf end

Explanation:

Comparing turgor pressure at two different ends of a sieve tube. With one end of the sieve tube located within a mature leaf, and the other end located within the roots. When comparing the turgor pressure within the sieve tube at these two locations, you discover that the turgor pressure will be greater at the leaf end.

The spacing between two closely spaced oppositely charged parallel plates is decreased. What happens to the electrostatic potent
erastovalidia [21]
<h2>Electrostatic Potential Decreases</h2>

Explanation:

  • If the spacing between two closely spaced oppositely charged parallel plates is decreased the electrostatic potential difference between the plates will decrease.
  • An electrostatic potential that is also referred to as the electric field potential or potential drop is the amount of work required to replace a unit of charge from a reference point to a specific point inside the electric field without any change in acceleration.  
  • Therefore, if the distance will decrease between oppositely charged plates there will be more affinity to attract which will reduce the amount of work done thus decreasing the electric potential

∴  The Correct option is (b)

Elabora una tabla, como la del ejemplo, con los resultados obtenidos en los test que desarrollaste en actividades anteriores. Lu
rodikova [14]

Explanation:

Clear rendering reads;

"Make a table, like the one in the example, with the results obtained in the tests you carried out in previous activities. Then answer: What do these results indicate regarding your physical condition and how do they relate to your health? From your answers, consider the challenge of improving your physical condition by maintaining or improving your exercise routine or permanent practice of physical activity".

So the incomplete text above it seems you've been instructed to perform an experiment and then state your result/analysis.

15 POINTS! What is the function of the nervous system? What is the basic unit of the nervous system?
vlada-n [284]

The nervous system is a complex collection of nerves and specialized cells known as neurons that transmit signals between different parts of the body.

The somatic system consists of nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord with muscles and sensory receptors in the skin.

The basic unit of the nervous system is the "nerve cell," called "neuron
