Answer:

The net displacement of the car is 3 km West

Explanation:

Please see the attached drawing to understand the car's trajectory: First in the East direction for 4 km (indicated by the green arrow that starts at the origin (zero), and stops at position 4 on the right (East).

Then from that position, it moves back towards the West going over its initial path, it goes through the origin and continues for 3 more km completing a moving to the West a total of 7 km. This is indicated in the drawing with an orange trace that end in position 3 to the left (West) of zero.

So, its NET displacement considered from the point of departure (origin at zero) to the final point where the trip ended, is 3 km to the west.

The net displacement of the car from the initial point will be 3 kilometer west.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Displacement is the shortest distance between two points, whereas the distance is the total distance between two points.

Displacement is a vector quantity and distance is scalar quantity. Let the car starts from point A and reaches point B in the East direction, i.e., 4 km.

Now from point B it starts moving west and reaches point C beyond point A, i.e., 7 km.

A---------------------.>B 4KM

C <--------------------------------------------B 7KM

finally the resultant distance is 3 km west

Which of these best describes the relationship between the incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal for a curved mirror?(

lions [1.4K]

For a curved mirror, all points have the same normal and the angle of incidence is also equal to the angle of reflection.

According to the laws of reflection, the incident ray, reflected ray and normal all lie on the same plane. For a curved mirror, the normal remains the same at all points along the curved mirror.

Again, the angle made between the incident ray and the normal is the same as the angle made between the reflected ray and the normal. Therefore, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence.

Astronomers know that the distance between the Earth and the Sun averages 1.50 x108 km. How can astronomers use the observed ste

rodikova [14]

Answer:

The distance of stars and the earth can be averagely measured by using the knowledge of geometry to estimate the stellar parallax angle(p).

From the equation below, the stars distances can be calculated.

D = 1/p

Distance = 1/(parallax angle)

Stellar parallax can be used to determine the distance of stars from an observer, on the surface of the earth due to the motion of the observer. It is the relative or apparent angular displacement of the star, due to the displacement of the observer.

Explanation:

Parallax is the observed apparent change in the position of an object resulting from a change in the position of the observer. Specifically, in the case of astronomy it refers to the apparent displacement of a nearby star as seen from an observer on Earth.

The parallax of an object can be used to approximate the distance to an object using the formula:

D = 1/p

Where p is the parallax angle observed using geometry and D is the actual distance measured in parsecs. A parsec is defined as the distance at which an object has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. This distance is approximately 3.26 light years

Two ice skaters, each with a mass of 72.0 kg, are skating at 5.45 m/s when they collide and stick together. If the angle between

Rudiy27

Answer:

The skater 1 and skater 2 have a final speed of 2.02m/s and 2.63m/s respectively.

Explanation:

To solve the problem it is necessary to go back to the theory of conservation of momentum, specifically in relation to the collision of bodies. In this case both have different addresses, consideration that will be understood later.

By definition it is known that the conservation of the moment is given by:

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v_f$

Our values are given by,

$m_1=m_2=72Kg$

As the skater 1 run in x direction, there is not component in Y direction. Then,

Skate 1:

$v_{x1}=5.45m/s$

$v_{y1}=0$

Skate 2:

$v_{x2} = 5.45*cos105= -1.41m/s$

$v_{y2} = 5.45*sin105 = 5.26m/s$

Then, if we applying the formula in X direction:

m_1v_{x1}+m_2v_{x2}=(m_1+m_2)v_{fx}

75*5.45-75*1.41=(75+75)v_{fx}

Re-arrange and solving for v_{fx}

v_{fx}=\frac{4.04}{2}

v_{fx}=2.02m/s

Now applying the formula in Y direction:

$m_1v_{y1}+m_2v_{y2}=(m_1+m_2)v_{fy}$

$0+75*5.25=(75+75)v_{fy}$

$v_{fy}=\frac{5.25}{2}$

$v_{fy}=2.63m/s$

Therefore the skater 1 and skater 2 have a final speed of 2.02m/s and 2.63m/s respectively.

Answer:

Enamel is used to coat the wires, it is the thinnest possible insulator. The coils are made up of large number of turns and enamel makes it possible to cram a lot of wires (coils) in much smaller space.
