on his fishing trip Justine takes the boat 12 km south. The fish aren't biting so he goes 4 km west. He follows a school of fish

1 km north. What distance did he cover? What was his displacement?

[ Please make a chart by following the directions on your own, 'cause it's hard to explain, here (only directions), magnitudes and answers are here ] :

Distance = 12 + 4+ 1 = 17 Km
[Just add all the values ]

Displacement, Now, if you'll look at your triangle, which has formed by his directions, perpendicular is 11, base is 4, & you need to calculate that hypotenuse which is your displacement.

So, apply Pythagoras Theorem here:
H² = P² + B²
H² = 11² + 4²
H²= 121 + 16
H = √137= 11.70 Km

In short, Distance = 17 Km and Displacement = 11.70 Km

Hope this helps!

which of the following statements is correct when describing the forces at work on a bridge a. wires are in tension B. large pos
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

All the statements are true

Explanation:

A) Wires are in tension.

It is true because the loads exerted on the bridge are taken by each of the cables of the bridge. these cables transmit the force to the pillars or columns of the bridge. (check the image 01)

B) Large posts are in compression.

It is true each of the loads of the cables is tension, are transmitted to the columns of the bridge, in this way the balance will be maintained (check the image 01)

C) The bridge deck is both in tension and compression.

Yes it is true, the superior part of the deck will be in compression and the inferior part will be in tension, this can be seen in the image 02

Write 3 – 4 sentences predicting the changes in electrostatic force, strong nuclear force, and the stability of a nucleus if the
mrs_skeptik [129]

Electrostatic force arises due  the charges at rest.In a isolated atom there is three fundamental particles called electron,proton and neutron.the electron is negatively charged,proton is positively charged and the neutron is neutral.

Generally the force between electron and proton is attractive,there will be also repulsion between proton and proton.due to the strong nuclear forces atom main its stability In an stable atom the the neutron to proton ratio lies between 1 to 1.42.if the number of neutrons are increased more,the stability will be hampered resulting the decrease in nuclear force also.

As neutron is neutral,there will be no change in the electrostatic forces as there is no increment of charge.but when the neutron number is increased at that time the binding energy per nucleon is decreased which in turn affects the nuclear force which is a  short range force.the nucleus becomes heavy and unstable which undergoes decay.

one thing we have to remember also that the nuclear force is spin dependent .so the change in neutron number affects the strong nuclear force which is the reason for its decrement.

A 36,287 kg truck has a momentum of 907,175 kg • m/s. What is the trucks velocity.
Airida [17]

Momentum = Mass x Velocity

Put the values where they belong and solve for Velocity.

In this case, since Mass is being multiplied by Velocity, to solve for be Velocity you would divide both sides by Velocity.  The velocity will equal the momentum divided by the mass.
