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])

A double-slit diffraction pattern is formed on a distant screen. If the separation between the slits decreases, what happens to
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

The distance between interference fringes increases.

Explanation:

In a double-slit diffraction pattern, the distance of the n-order fringe from the centre of the pattern is

y=\frac{n \lambda D}{d}

where \lambda is the wavelength of the light, D the distance of the screen, and d the separation between the slits.

If we take two adjacent fringes, n and (n+1), their distance is

\Delta y = \frac{(n+1)\lambda D}{d}-\frac{n\lambda D}{d}=\frac{\lambda D}{d}

so, we see that it is inversely proportional to the slit separation, d.

Therefore, if the separation between the slits decreases, the distance between the interference fringes increases.

What is meant by the term blue moon
Andreyy89
“Once in a blue moon” is a common expression that has been used for a long time, and which means 'not very often,' or 'very rarely. ' It often refers to an extra full moon; however, it has been used to describe the way the moon actually looked, when for different reasons it had turned a blueish color.

Identify the type of chemical reaction that is described.
Anastasy [175]

Water breaks down into  hydrogen and oxygen: It is a decomposition reaction as a single substance decomposes to give two products.

H_2O \rightarrow H_2 +\frac {1}{2}O_2

Leaves make starch using  chlorophyll and carbon dioxide: Synthesis reaction: as the synthesis reaction involves two or more than two reactants which join together to result into a single main product along with the formation of simple by products.

6CO_2 + 6H_2O \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2

Food burns in oxygen gas  and releases a lot of energy: Combustion: Combustion process involves the use of oxygen to give products along with release of energy.

C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2\rightarrow 6CO_2 + 6H_2O

Adding vinegar (acid) to baking soda (alkali) gives  a product that is neither  acidic nor alkaline: Neutralization: acetic acid in vinegar reacts with soda (base) to give salt (neutral) and .

CH_3COOH + NaHCO_3\rightarrow CH_3COONa +H_2O + CO_2

How much power does it take to lift 30.0 N 10.0 m high in 5.00 s?
Rudik [331]

Power = work/time = (Force times distance)/time

= (30N *10.0m)/5.00s = 300/5 = 60 Watts
