Dexter uses a compass to walk 140m due east. What is his distance and displacement?

Physics

solmaris [256]2 years ago
3 0
The distance is 140 m and the displacement is 140 m E. Displacement can change though. For example, if Dexter walked 140 m east then walked 40 meters west the displacement would be 100 m E. Displacement is just how far away an object is from the start.

Which transition by an electron will release the greatest amount of energy? hurry!
Sphinxa [80]

highest energy level to the ground state.

Explanation:

The transition from the highest energy level to the ground state.

An electron has a discrete amount of energy accrued to it in any energy level it belongs to.

Electrons can transition between one energy level or the other.

  • When electrons change state, they either release or absorb energy.
  • When an atom absorbs energy, they move from their ground to final state which is consistent with the energy of the final state.
  • When electrons release energy, they move from excited state to their ground state.
  • Electrons will release the greatest amount of energy when they move from the highest energy level to the ground state.

A stream moving with a speed of 7.1 m/s reaches a point where the cross-sectional area of the stream decreases to one half of th
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

14.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

Speed of the stream, v₁ = 7.1 m/s

let the cross section area at initial point be A₁

now area at the second point, A₂ = (1/2)A₁ = 0.5A₁

now, from the continuity equation, we have

A₁v₁ = A₂v₂

where, v₂ is the velocity at the narrowed portion

thus, on substituting the values, we get

A₁ × 7.1 = 0.5A₁ × v₂

or

v₂ = 14.2 m/s

While running at a constant velocity, how should you throw a ball with respect to you so that you can catch it yourself?
timurjin [86]
You are running at constant velocity in the x direction, and based on the 2D definition of projectile motion, Vx=Vxo. In other words, your velocity in the x direction is equal to the starting velocity in the x direction. Let's say the total distance in the x direction that you run to catch your own ball is D (assuming you have actual values for Vx and D). You can then use the range equation, D= (2VoxVoy)/g, to find the initial y velocity, Voy. g is gravitational acceleration, -9.8m/s^2. Now you know how far to run (D), where you will catch the ball (xo+D), and the initial x and y velocities you should be throwing the ball at, but to find the initial velocity vector itself (x and y are only the components), you use the pythagorean theorem to solve for the hypotenuse. Because you know all three sides of the triangle, you can also solve for the angle you should throw the ball at, as that is simply arctan(y/x).
