[ 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 law states that absolute zero cannot be reached?
padilas [110]
The third law of thermodynamics,the principle of temperature.

This law states that the entropy at 0 is always equel to 0.
This means that it is impossible to cool down a perfect 0 or absolute 0(-273.15 C)

A 8.2-V battery is connected in series with a 38-mH inductor, a 150-Ω resistor, and an open switch.A 8.2-V battery is connected
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

(A). The current in the circuit is 19.25 mA.

(B). The store energy in the inductor is 7.04 μJ.

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage = 8.2 V

Inductor = 38 mH

Resistance = 150 Ω

Time t = 0.110 ms

The battery has negligible internal resistance, so that the total resistance  in the circuit is 150 ohms. Then use this equation for current at time t in terms of inductance

We need to calculate the current

Using formula of current

I(t)=\dfrac{V}{R}\times(1-e^{-t\times\dfrac{R}{L}})

Put the value into the formula

I(t)=\dfrac{8.2}{150}\times(1-e^{-0.110\times10^{-3}\times\dfrac{150}{38\times10^{-3}}})

I(t)=0.01925\ A

I(t) = 19.25\ mA

(B). We need to calculate the store energy in the inductor

Using formula of energy

E=\dfrac{1}{2}LI^2

Put the value into the formula

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times38\times10^{-3}\times(0.01925)^2

E=7.04\times10^{-6}\ J

{tex]E=7.04\ \mu J[/tex]

Hence, (A). The current in the circuit is 19.25 mA.

(B). The store energy in the inductor is 7.04 μJ.

A charge q produces an electric field of strength 2E at a distance of d away. Determine the electric field strength at a distanc
Alja [10]

The electric field strength of a point charge is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the charge ... a lot like gravity.

If the magnitude of the field is (2E) at the distance 'd', then at the distance '2d', it'll be (2E)/(2²).  That's (2E)/4 = 0.5E .

What is the difference between chemical change and a physical change?
NeX [460]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are several differences between a physical and chemical change in matter or substances. A physical change in a substance doesn't change what the substance is. In a chemical change where there is a chemical reaction, a new substance is formed and energy is either given off or absorbed.
