<h2><u>Answer</u>:</h2>

Distance = 50m

Displacement = 50m to the right

<h2><u>Explanation</u>:</h2>

<em>Distance</em> is the total length of a given path. It is a scalar quantity and thus takes no consideration on the direction of the path.

<em>Displacement</em> on the other hand is the change in position of an object. It is a vector quantity and takes consideration on the direction of the object.

From the question:

<em>The swimmer swims half lap by moving from the left end to the right end of a pool that is 50m long.</em>

Distance = total length of the given path = 50m

Displacement = change in position of the swimmer from the left end (0m) to the right end (50m) = 50 - 0 = 50m

Since direction is important in displacement, the complete details of the displacement should be 50m to the right

A particle travels in a circle of radius 76 cm and completes one revolution in 4.5 s. What is the centripetal acceleration of th
Dimas [21]

r = radius of the circle traveled by the particle = 76 cm = 0.76 m

T = time period of revolution for the particle = 4.5 s

w = angular velocity of the particle

angular velocity of the particle is given as

w = 2π/T

inserting the values

w = 2 (3.14)/4.5

w = 1.4 rad/s

a = centripetal acceleration of the particle in the circle

centripetal acceleration is given as

a = r w²

inserting the values

a = (0.76) (1.4)²

a = 1.5 m/s²

two electrons are an angstrom (1x10^-10m) apart. What electrostatic force do they exert on one another?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

2.30 × 10⁻⁸ N if the two electrons are in a vacuum.

Explanation:

The Coulomb's Law gives the size of the electrostatic force F between two charged objects:

\displaystyle F = -\frac{k\cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^{2}},

where

  • k is coulomb's constant. k = 8.99\times 10^{8}\;\text{N}\cdot\text{m}^{2}\cdot\text{C}^{-2} in vacuum.
  • q_1 and q_2 are the signed charge of the objects.
  • r is the distance between the two objects.

For the two electrons:

  • q_1 = q_2 = 1.60\times 10^{-19}\;\text{C}.
  • r = 1\times 10^{-10}\;\text{m}.
  • \displaystyle F = -\frac{k\cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^{2}} = -\frac{8.99\times 10^{8}\times (1.60\times 10^{-19})^{2}}{(1\times 10^{-10})^{2}} = 2.30\times 10^{-8}\;\text{N}.

The sign of F is negative. In other words, the two electrons repel each other since the signs of their charges are the same.

Why is the contribution of the wavelets lying on the back of secondary wave front zero?​
Tresset [83]

Answer:

The contribution of the wavelets lying on the back of the wave front is zero because of something known as the Obliquity Factor. It is assumed that the amplitude of the secondary wavelets is not independent of the direction of propagation, Sources: byju's.com
