What is the diffference between distance and displacement

Physics
1 answer:
Jobisdone [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

distance is how far away something has travelled from another object, while displacement is how far something is from the other object. Displacement is a vector quantity, unlike distance.

A farmer hitches her tractor to a sled loaded with firewood and pulls it a distance
Delvig [45]

(a) The work done by the force applied by the tractor is 79,968.47 J.

(b) The work done by the frictional force on the tractor is 55,977.93 J.

(c) The total work done by  all the forces is 23,990.54 J.

<h3>Work done by the applied force</h3>

The work done by the force applied by the tractor is calculated as follows;

W = Fd cosθ

W = (5000 x 20) x cos(36.9)

W = 79,968.47 J

<h3>Work done by frictional force</h3>

W = Ffd cosθ

W = (3500 x 20) x cos(36.9)

W = 55,977.93 J

<h3>Net work done by all the forces on the tractor</h3>

W(net) = work done by applied force  -  work done by friction force

W(net) = 79,968.47 J -  55,977.93 J

W(net) = 23,990.54 J

You illuminate the grating in a spectrometer at normal incidence θi=0° with a beam of light that has a wavelength of 6562.8 Å. T
monitta

Answer:

a) θ₁ = 23.14 ° , b) θ₂ = 51.81 °

Explanation:

An address network is described by the expression

     d sin θ = m λ

Where is the distance between lines, λ is the wavelength and m is the order of the spectrum

The distance between one lines, we can find used a rule of proportions

     d = 1/600

     d = 1.67 10⁻³ mm

    d = 1-67 10⁻³ m

Let's calculate the angle

    sin θ = m λ / d

    θ  = sin⁻¹ (m λ / d)

First order

    θ₁ = sin⁻¹ (1 6.5628 10⁻⁷ / 1.67 10⁻⁶)

    θ₁ = sin⁻¹ (3.93 10⁻¹)

    θ₁ = 23.14 °

Second order

     θ₂ = sin⁻¹ (2 6.5628 10⁻⁷ / 1.67 10⁻⁶)

     θ₂ = sin⁻¹ (0.786)

     θ₂ = 51.81 °

A balloon is filled to a volume of 7.00*10^2 mL at a temperature of 20.0°C. The balloon is then cooled at constant pressure to a
wolverine [178]

The final volume of the gas is 238.9 mL

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Charle's law, which states that for a gas kept at constant pressure, the volume of the gas (V) is proportional to its absolute temperature (T):

\frac{V}{T}=const.

Which can be also re-written as

\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}

where

V_1, V_2 are the initial and final volumes of the gas

T_1, T_2 are the initial and final temperature of the gas

For the gas in the balloon in this problem, we have:

V_1 = 7.00\cdot 10^2 mL = 700 mL is the initial volume

T_1=20.0^{\circ}C+273=293 K is the initial absolute temperature

V_2 is the final volume

T_2 = 1.00\cdot 10^2 K = 100 K is the final temperature

Solving for V_2,

V_2 = \frac{V_1 T_2}{T_1}=\frac{(700)(100)}{293}=238.9 mL
