Jason rides his bicycle 1,200 meters east to the grocery store. He then turns around and travels 760 meters west to meet his fri

end. What are his total distance and his displacement?

Since displacement is a vector quantity, it depends on direction as well as magnitude.

Taking displacement towards east as positive and towards west as negative,
Total displacement = 1200 + (-760) = 440 meters. 

Since distance is a scalar quantity, it depends only upon magnitude.
Total distance = 1200 + 760 = 1960 meters. 

Hope this cleared your doubt, feel free to ask any questions regarding this and have a nice day ahead! :)

Suppose you're on a hot air balloon ride, carrying a buzzer that emits a sound of frequency f. If you accidentally drop the buzz
amid [387]

Answer:

(C) The frequency decrease and intensity decrease

Explanation:

The Doppler effect describes the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the wave source, or the wave source is moving relative to the observer, or both.

if the observer and the source move away from each other as is the case for this problem, the wavelength heard by the observer is bigger.

The frequency is the inverse from the wavelength, so the frequency heard will increase.

The sound intensity depends inversely on the area in which the sound propagates. When the buzzer is close, the area is from a small sphere, but as the buzzer moves further away, the wave area will be from a larger sphere and therefore the intensity will decrease.

The earth has a vertical electric field at the surface,pointing down, that averages 102 N/C. This field is maintained by various
Schach [20]

Answer:

q  =  -461532.5 \ C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  electric filed is  E  =  102 \ N/C  

Generally according to Gauss law

=>   E  A  =  \frac{q}{\epsilon_o }

Given that  the electric field is pointing downward  , the equation become

    - E  A  =  \frac{q}{\epsilon_o }

Here   q is the excess charge on the surface of the earth

          A is the surface  area of the of the earth which is mathematically represented as

     A  =  4\pi r^2

Where r is the radius of the earth which has a value r = 6.3781*10^6 m

 substituting values

    A  = 4 * 3.142  *   (6.3781*10^6 \ m)^2

    A  =5.1128 *10^{14} \ m^2

So

   q  =  -E  * A  *  \epsilon _o

Here \epsilon_o s the permitivity of free space with value

          \epsilon_o  =  8.85*10^{-12} \  m^{-3} \cdot kg^{-1}\cdot  s^4 \cdot A^2

substituting values

     q  =  -102  * 5.1128 *10^{14}  *  8.85 *10^{-12}

     q  =  -461532.5 \ C
