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!

<span>The line that is drawn perpendicular to the point at which a wave intersects a boundary is know as the Normal .

When the normal is drawn, the incident ray makes an angle with it known as the angle of incidence and the reflected ray makes an angle with it known as the angle of incidence. These angles are always equal.
 
The refracted ray makes an angle with the normal known as angle of refraction. The sin of angle of incidence to the sin of angle of refraction is called the refractive index( </span>μ= <span>sin i / sin r) .

What magnetically happens when there is an electric current in a wire?​
juin [17]

Answer:

you change the direction of the magnetic field.

Explanation:

Because the magnetic field created by the electric current in the wire is changing directions around the wire, it will repel both poles of the magnet by bending away from the wire.

At which temperature does the motion of atoms and molecules stop?
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

0 Kelvin

Explanation:

Atoms in absolute temperature get approximatelly motionless since 0 Kelvin is -273 degrees Celcius. The kinetic energy of atoms/particles in matter has the possible lowest value ( almost zero), so that there is nothing colder than 0 Kelvin.

Consider a golf ball with a mass of 45.9 grams traveling at 200 km/hr. If an experiment is designed to measure the position of t
Kipish [7]

Answer:

speed of golf ball is 1.15 × 10^{-30} m/s

and % of uncertainty in speed =  2.07 × 10^{-30} %

Explanation:

given data

mass = 45.9 gram = 0.0459 kg

speed = 200 km/hr = 55.5 m/s

uncertainty position Δx = 1 mm = 10^{-3} m

to find out

speed of the golf ball and  % of speed of the golf ball

solution

we will apply here heisenberg uncertainty principle that is

uncertainty position ×uncertainty momentum ≥ \frac{h}{4\pi }    ......1

Δx × ΔPx  ≥ \frac{h}{4\pi }

here uncertainty momentum ΔPx = mΔVx

and uncertainty velocity = ΔVx

and h = 6.626 × 10^{-34} Js

so put here all these value in equation 1

10^{-3} × 0.0459 × ΔVx =  \frac{6.626*10^{-34}}{4\pi }

ΔVx = 1.15 × 10^{-30} m/s

and

so % of uncertainty in speed = ΔV / m

% of uncertainty in speed =  1.15 × 10^{-30}  / 55.5

% of uncertainty in speed =  2.07 × 10^{-30} %
