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

Physics
1 answer:
solmaris [256]3 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 is a warm countercurrent that periodically flows southward along the coasts of Ecuador and Peru
Maksim231197 [3]
The  "El-nino  current  is  awarm  current  that  periodically  flows  southward  along  the  coast  of Ecuador  and  Peru.  El-nino  start out  from  the  central  and  east  central of  the   pacific,   which  include  pacific  coast  of  this south  America.  this ocean    event  is  associated with  fluctuation of inter  tropical  surface  pressure  pattern and  circulation  in  the  ocean.

Two stars, both of which behave like ideal blackbodies, radiate the same total energy per second. The cooler one has a surface t
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let hotter star has surface area of A . The cooler star would have surface area 9 times that of hotter star ie 9A , because its radius is 3 times hot star. Let temperature of hot star be T ₁.

Total radiant energy is same for both the star

Using Stefan's formula of black body radiation,

For cold star E = 9A x σ T⁴

For hot star E = A x σ T₁⁴

A x σ T₁⁴ = 9A x σ T⁴

T₁⁴ = (√3)⁴T⁴

T₁ = √3T .

b )

Let the peak intensity wavelength be λ₁ and λ₂ for cold and hot star .

As per wein's law

for cold star , λ₁ T = b ( constant )

for hot star  λ₂ √3T = b

dividing

λ₁ T / λ₂ √3T = 1

λ₂  / λ₁ =  1 / √3

An airplane is heading due south at a speed of 560 km/h . If a wind begins blowing from the southwest at a speed of 80.0 km/h (a
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

the magnitude of Vpg = 493.711 km/h

Explanation:

given data

speed Vpg = 560 km/h

speed Vwg = 80 km/h

solution

we get here magnitude of the plane velocity w.r.t. ground is

we know that the Vpg = Vpw + Vwg       .....................1

writing the component of the velocity that is

Vpw = (0 km/h î - 560 km/h j )

Vwg = (80 cos 45 km/h î + 80 sin 45 km/h j)

adding these

Vpg = (0+80 cos 45 km/h ) î  + ( -560 + 80 sin 45 km/h j)i

Vpg = (42.025 )  î  (-491.92 km/h)j

now we take magnitude

the magnitude of Vpg = \sqrt{(42.025^2+(-491.92)^2)} km/h

the magnitude of Vpg = 493.711 km/h
