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.

As the collision frequency of gas particles increases, the mean free path of the gas particles ____
Mamont248 [21]

As the collision frequency of gas particles increases, the mean free path of the gas particles decreases.

<h3>Frequency </h3>

The number of times a repeated event occurs in a given amount of time is known as its frequency. It is also sometimes called "temporal frequency" to stress the contrast to "spatial frequency" and "ordinary frequency" to underline the contrast to "angular frequency." Hertz (Hz), which is equal to one (event) per second, are the units used to express frequency. The reciprocal of frequency, the period is the length of time occupied by one cycle in a repeating event. When describing the temporal rate of change seen in oscillatory and periodic phenomena like mechanical vibrations, audio signals (sound), radio waves, and light, frequency is a crucial parameter utilized in science and engineering.

A 1200-kg car is travelling east at a rate of 9 m/s. A 1600-kg truck is travelling south at a rate of 13 m/s. The truck accident
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Around 3.57m/s

Explanation:

p=mv

Let's denote the momentum, mass, and velocity of the car with the subscript 1, and for the truck use 2. After the collision, the combined momentum can be denoted with the subscript 3.

p_1=1200\cdot 9=10800 \\\\p_2=1600\cdot 13=20800 \\\\20800-10800=10000 \\\\1200kg+1600kg=2800kg \\\\10000=2800v_3 \\\\v_3\approx 3.57m/s

Hope this helps!

The diagram shows two charged objects, X and Y.
masya89 [10]

The missing diagram is in the attachments.

Answer: X: positive Y: positive

Explanation: Electric field is a vector quantity, which means it can be represented by a vector arrow: the arrow points in the direction of electric field and its length represents the magnitude at a given location. There are another representation of the electric field called electric field lines, <u>in which the line points away from a positively charged source and towards a negatively charged source</u>. This occurs because it follows a pattern, where the lines points in the direction that a positive test charge would have if it is accelerating on the line.

Analyzing the diagram, it can be observed that the lines are pointing away from both of the charged objects. Therefore, both X and Y are <u>positively charged</u>.
