Answer:

<em>The total distance of the entire trip is 16 Km</em>

Explanation:

<u>Distance and Displacement</u>

A moving object constantly travels for some distance at certain periods of time. The total distance is the sum of each individual distance the object traveled. It can be written as:

dtotal = d1 + d2 + d3 + ... + dn

This sum is obtained independently of the direction the object moves.

The displacement only takes into consideration the initial and final positions of the path defined by the object in its moving. The displacement, unlike distance, is a vectorial magnitude and can be even zero if the object starts and ends the movement at the same point.

The described movements are 6 Km North and 10 Km West. Regardless of the speed or time taken, the total distance is:

d = 6 Km + 10 Km = 16 Km

The total distance of the entire trip is 16 Km

A particle with charge 3.20×10−19 c is placed on the x axis in a region where the electric potential due to other charges increa

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

-5 V

Explanation:

The charged particle (which is positively charged) moves from point A to B, and its kinetic energy increases: it means that the particle is following the direction of the field, so its potential energy is decreasing (because it's been converted into potential energy), therefore it is moving from a point at higher potential (A) to a point at lower potential (B). This means that the value

vb−va

is negative.

We can calculate the potential difference between the two points by using the law of conservation of energy:

$\Delta K+ \Delta U=0\\\Delta K + q\Delta V=0$

where:

$\Delta K=+1.6\cdot 10^{-18} J$ is the change in kinetic energy of the particle

$q=3.2\cdot 10^{-19} C$ is the charge of the particle

$\Delta V =V_b-V_a$ is the potential difference

Re-arranging the equation, we can find the value of the potential difference:

$\Delta V=V_b-V_a = -\frac{\Delta K}{q}=-\frac{1.6\cdot 10^{-18} J}{3.2\cdot 10^{-19} C}=-5 V$

Which of the following best describes the use of a renewable resource?

Answer:

There are areas in California that use the heat from deep in the Earth to generate electricity.

Explanation:

It comes from the earth itself and we use a lot of things that comes from the earth and deep within it.

If 20 beats are produced within a single second, which of the following frequencies could possibly be held by two sound waves tr

zhuklara [117]

The correct choice is

D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz.

In fact, the beat frequency is given by the difference between the frequencies of the two waves:

$f_B = |f_1 -f_2|$

In this problem, the beat frequency is $f_B=20 Hz$ , therefore the only pair of frequencies that gives a difference equal to 20 Hz is

D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz.

A pulled tablecloth exerts a frictional force of 0.6 n on a plate with a mass of 0.4 kg. what is the acceleration of the plate?

Ludmilka [50]

The formula for acceleration is a = F/m; Where: F = force; m = mass
Given: F = .6n; m = .4kg; a = ?
a = F/m
= .6/.4
= 1.5

Therefore, the acceleration of the plate is 1.5 m/s^2
