The distance he paddled was (32m + 24m + 6m) = 56 meters.

His displacement after that was (32m - 6m + 24m) = 50 meters north.

Answer:

50m [N]

Explanation:

Think of these directions as if they were on a 2D plane. (if you're talking about displacement)

If you go 32m [N] then 6m [S], it's like you're moving backwards (-). (thus, 32n-6s=26m [N])

Next, you go north again, so moving forwards (+). (thus, 26n+24n=50m [N])

How can you make the potential energy as high as possible in a magnetic field between one electromagnet and one piece of iron?

harkovskaia [24]

In step 1, to increase the potential energy, the iron will move towards the electromagnet.

In step 2, to increase the potential energy, the iron will move towards the electromagnet.

<h3>Potential energy of a system of magnetic dipole</h3>

The potential energy of a system of dipole depends on the orientation of the dipole in the magnetic field.

$U = \mu B$

where;

$\mu$ is the dipole moment
B is the magnetic field

$B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}$

$U = \mu\times (\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r} )$

Increase in the distance (r) reduces the potential energy. Thus, we can conclude the following;

In step 1, to increase the potential energy, the iron will move towards the electromagnet.
In step 2, when the iron is rotated 180, it will still maintain the original position, to increase the potential energy, the iron will move towards the electromagnet.

The ___________ of an object consists of its speed and direction.

olga2289 [7]

Velocity, because if an object is in motion with no direction we will consider it as speed, but if it has direction we will consider it as Velocity. Hope it helps
