[ 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!

(a) what will an object weigh on the moon's surface if it weighs 100 n on earth's surface
juin [17]
We know the equation

weight = mass × gravity

To work out the weight on the moon, we will need its mass, and the gravitational field strength of the moon.
Remember that your weight can change, but mass stays constant.

So using the information given about the earth weight, we can find the mass by substituting 100N for weight, and we know the gravity on earth is 10Nm*2 (Use the gravitational field strength provided by your school, I am assuming yours in 10Nm*2)

Therefore,

100N = mass × 10
mass= 100N/10
mass= 10 kg

Now, all we need are the moon's gravitational field strength and to apply this to the equation

weight = 10kg × (gravity on moon)

Answer:

5. dispersion

6. 49.8°

Explanation:

5. Dispersion is the name given to the phenomenon of light of different wavelengths being bent differently. A rainbow is the result of light from a point source (the sun) being spread out by wavelength (color), a nice example of dispersion.

___

6. n = 1.31 is the ratio of the sine of the angle of refraction to the sine of the angle of incidence (for light passing to a medium of n = 1). When the angle of refraction is 90°, the angle of incidence is the "critical angle." So, ...

sin(90°)/sin(critical) = 1.31

critical angle = arcsin(1/1.31) ≈ 49.8°

A pendulum clock gives correct time at 20°c how many sec/day will it gain or loose when the temperature fall to 5°c? cofficient
rewona [7]

Answer:

129.6 seconds

Explanation:

Given that :

α = 0.0002°c-1​

θ1 = 20°C

θ2 = 5°C

Time t = one day ; Converting to seconds ; number of seconds in a day ; (24 * 60 * 60) = 86400 seconds

Let dT= change in time

Using the relation :

dT = 0.5* α * dθ * t

dθ = (20 - 5) = 15°C

dT = 0.5 * 0.0002 * 15 * 86400

dT = 129.6 seconds
