Answer:

11.6km

4.4km in the negative direction

Explanation:

Distance is the total length of path covered and traveled by a body.

So, for this car on a straight line;

  Total distance  = 8km + 3.6km  = 11.6km

Displacement is the distance traveled along a path and the direction it takes.

It is a vector quantity with magnitude and directional attributes.

For this journey;

 Displacement  = 8km  - 3.6km  = 4.4km in the negative direction.

Observe the two scenarios involving electrically charged objects. Predict what will happen when you bring the objects close toge
Margarita [4]

Answer:

When one object is rubbed against another, static electricity can be created. This is because the rubbing creates a negative charge that is carried by electrons. The electrons can build up to produce static electricity. For example, when you shuffle your feet across a carpet, you are creating many surface contacts between your feet and the carpet, allowing electrons to transfer to you, thereby building up a static charge on your skin. When you touch another person or an object, you can suddenly discharge the static as an electrical shock.

Explanation:

Similarly, when you rub a balloon on your head it causes opposite static charges to build up both on your hair and the balloon. Consequently, when you pull the balloon slowly away from your head, you can see these two opposite static charges attracting one another and making your hair stand up.

4. A hiker leaves camp and using a compass walks 4 km East, 6 km South, 3 km East, 5 km North, 10 km West, 8 km North and 3 km S
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Because the hiker walked directly west and then directly north the two legs of the hike forms a right triangle. Therefore we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem.

 

c=5

The hiker is 5km from camp and should head in a generally south-east direction

What is the direction of the current flowing through the wire------left or right?
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The direction in which a positive charge would move.

Explanation:

The direction of an electric current is by convention the direction in which a positive charge would move. Thus, the current in the external circuit is directed away from the positive terminal and toward the negative terminal of the battery. Electrons would actually move through the wires in the opposite direction.

Batman (mass = 88.8 kg) jumps straight down from a bridge into a boat (mass = 530 kg) in which a criminal is fleeing. The veloci
hram777 [196]

Answer:

The velocity of the boat after Batman lands in it is 2.08 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of batman m_{1}= 88.8\ kg

Mass of boat m_{2}=530\ kg

Initial velocity = 14.5 m/s

We need to calculate the velocity of boat

Using conservation of momentum

m_{1}u=(m_{1}+m_{2})v...(I)

Where, m_{1}=mass of batman

m_{2} =mass of boat

u=initial velocity

v = velocity of boat

Put the value in the equation

88.8\times14.5=530+88.8\times v

v=\dfrac{88.8\times14.5}{530+88.8}

v=2.08\ m/s

Hence, The velocity of the boat after Batman lands in it is 2.08 m/s.

a moving electron accelerates at 5200m/s^2 in a 55.0 direction. After 0.350as,it has a velocity of 6598m/s in a -20.5 direction.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

  -3802 m/s

Explanation:

The y-component of the final velocity is ...

  (6598 m/s)·sin(-20.5°) ≈ -2310.7 m/s

The y-component of the velocity due to acceleration is ...

  (5200 m/s²)(0.350 s)sin(55°) ≈ 1490.9 m/s

Then the initial velocity in the y-direction is found from ...

  initial velocity + change in velocity = final velocity

  initial velocity = (final velocity) - (change in velocity)

  = -2310.7 m/s - 1490.9 m/s ≈ -3802 m/s
