a) Displacement is a distance between the start and the finish: 4

b) Distance: total length: 2+4+2=8

Explanation:

A girl goes for a walk. Her motion is recorded on the coordinate plane below. On the plane, each block represents 1 km.

(a) We need to find the displacement of the girl. The displacement of a particle is equal to the shortest path covered by her. In the given graph, the initial position of the particle is A and finally it comes to point B. So, the displacement of the girl is 4 km.

(b) The distance walked by the girl is equal to the total path covered by her during her entire motion. So, the distance walked by the girl is 2 km + 4 km + 2 km = 8 km.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A car whose total mass is 800kg travelling with a uniform velocity of 20m/s suddenly observes a stationary dog 50m ahead on its
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The driver hits the stationery dog because the applied force is less than required force

Explanation:

Kinetic energy will be given by

KE=0.5mv^{2} where m is the mass of the vehicle and v is the speed/velocity of the vehicle.

Substituting 800 Kg for m and 20 m/s for v we obtain

KE=0.5*800*(20 m/s)^{2}=160,000

Frictional force by vehicle pads is given by

Fr=\frac {KE}{d} where d is the distance moved

Substituting 160000 for KE and 50 m for d we obtain

Fr=\frac {160000}{50}=3200 N

Therefore, the vehicle hits the dog since the required force is 3200N but the driver applied only 2000 N

Different ____ of light through two separate mediums causes the bending of waves fronts associated with light rays.
Fittoniya [83]

Different speeds of light through two separate media ... and the difference in wavelength caused by the difference ... causes the bending of waves fronts associated with light rays.

AFTER the bend, since the light rays then travel in a different direction, we may also say that the 'velocity' has changed.

A student wearing a frictionless roller skates on a horizontal is pushed by a friend with a constant force of 55N. How far must
umka21 [38]

Answer:

6.58m

Explanation:

The kinetic energy = Workdone on the roller

Workdone = Force * distance

Given

KE = Workdone = 362J

Force = 55N

Required

Distance

Substitute into the formula;

Workdone = Force * distance

362 = 55d

d = 362/55

d = 6.58m

Hence the student must push at a distance of 6.58m

Which of these processes are chemical reactions
White raven [17]

Explanation:

  • In chemical reactions, chemical changes occur.
  • Atoms are simply rearranged and new bonds are formed.
  • Chemical reactions are driven by a need for atoms to attain stability in their structure.
  • In all chemical reactions, a reactant or reactants gives new product i.e new substances are formed.
  • Most these reactions are not easily reversible.
  • They are usually accompanied by the release of energy.

Explain the process of synaptic transmission, beginning with the neurotransmitters at the axon terminal of the presynaptic cell
nydimaria [60]

The synapse is actually the link between 2 neurons. Now when an action potential contacts the synaptic knob of a neuron, the voltage-gate calcium channels are unlocked, resulting in an influx of positively charged calcium ions into the cell. This makes the vesicles containing neurotransmitters, for example acetylcholine, to travel towards the pre-synaptic membrane. When the vesicle arrives at the membrane, the contents are released into the synaptic cleft by exocytosis. Neurotransmitters disperse across the space, down to its concentration gradient, up until it reaches the post-synaptic membrane, where it connects to the correct neuroreceptors. Connecting to the neuroreceptors results in depolarisation in the post-syanaptic neuron as voltage-gated sodium channels are also opened, and the positively charged sodium ions travel into the cell. When adequate neurotransmitters bind to neuroreceptors, the post-synaptic membrane overcame the threshold level of depolarisation and an action potential is made and the impulse is transmitted.
