URGENT! i don't understand how displacement works and it'd be nice if you could also show steps on how to do it:( THank you!

In order to find the displacement of something, you can calculate it by subtracting the initial distance from the final distance.

7-5 =2
so the mouse would’ve walked a displacement of 2cm

When light falls on objects, it interacts with them in different ways as shown in the images. What type of interaction is seen i
ra1l [238]

Total absorption of the light takes place in every image. There is no light left to proceed to our eyes, and that's why we can't see any of the images.

The absorption is so complete in each and every case, we can't even see enough to know how MANY images there are.

A chair of weight 70.0 N lies atop a horizontal floor; the floor is not frictionless. You push on the chair with a force of F =
Annette [7]

Answer:

94.67 N

Explanation:

Consider a free body diagram with force, F of 41 N applied at an angle of 37 degrees while the weight acts downwards. Resolving the force into vertical and horizontal components, we obtain a free body diagram attached.

At equilibrium, normal reaction is equal to the sum of the weight and the vertical component of the force applied. Applying the condition of equilibrium along the vertical direction.  

\begin{array}{l}\\\Sigma {F_y} = 0\\\\N - W - F\sin \theta = 0\\\\N = W + F\sin \theta \\\end{array}

Substituting 70 N for W, 41 N for F and \theta for 37 degrees

N=70+41sin37=94.67441595  N and rounding off to 2 decimal places

N=94.67 N

An attacker at the base of a castle wall 3.65 m high throws a rock straight up with speed 7.4m/s from a height of 1.55m above th
Natali5045456 [20]

a) Yes, the rock will reach the top

b) The final speed is 3.7 m/s

c) The change in speed is 2.4 m/s

d) The change in speed in the two situations do not agree

e) Because the kinetic energy depends quadratically on the speed, K\propto v^2

Explanation:

a)

The mechanical energy of the rock at the moment it is thrown from the ground is equal to the sum of its kinetic energy and its potential energy:

E=KE_i + PE_i = \frac{1}{2}mu^2 + mgh_i

where

m is the mass of the rock

u = 7.4 m/s is the inital speed

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h_i = 1.55 m is the initial height of the rock

Substituting, we find the initial mechanical energy of the rock

E=\frac{1}{2}m(7.4)^2 + m(9.8)(1.55)=42.6m [J]

In order to reach the top of the castle, the rock should have a mechanical energy of at least

E' = mgh'

where

h' = 3.65 m is the heigth of the top

Substituting,

E'=m(9.8)(3.65)=35.6m [J]

Since E > E', it means that the rock has enough mechanical energy to reach the top.

b)

The final mechanical energy of the rock at the top is

E=mgh'+ \frac{1}{2}mv^2 (1)

where:

v is the final speed of the rock at the top

Since the mechanical energy is conserved, this should be equal to the initial mechanical energy:

E=42.6 m [J] (2)

Therefore, equating (1) and (2), we can find the final speed of the rock:

mgh' + \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = 42.6m\\v=\sqrt{2(42.6-gh')}=\sqrt{2(42.6-(9.8)(3.65))}=3.7 m/s

c)

Since the motion of the rock is a free fall motion (constant acceleration equal to the acceleration of gravity), we can use the following suvat equation:

v^2 - u^2 = 2as

where

v is the final speed, at the bottom

u = 7.4 m/s is the initial speed of the rock, at the top

a=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

s = 3.65 - 1.55 = 2.1 m is the vertical displacement of the rock

Solving for v, we find the final speed:

v=\sqrt{u^2+2as}=\sqrt{7.4^2 + 2(9.8)(2.1)}=9.8 m/s

Therefore, the change in speed is

\Delta v = v-u = 9.8 - 7.4 =2.4 m/s

d)

In the first situation (rock thrown upward), we have:

u = 7.4 m/s (initial speed)

v = 3.7 m/s (final speed)

So the change in speed is

\Delta v = v-u =3.7 - 7.4 = -3.7 m/s

While the change in speed in the second situation (rock thrown downward) is

\Delta v = 2.4 m/s

Therefore, we see that their magnitudes do not agree.

e)

In both situations, the change in kinetic energy of the rock is equal in magnitude to the change in gravitational potential energy, since the total mechanical energy is conserved.

The change in gravitational potential energy in the two situations is the same (because the change in height is the same), therefore the change in kinetic energy in the two situations is also the same.

However, the kinetic energy of the rock is not directly proportional to the speed, but to the square of the speed:

K\propto v^2

Since the initial speed is the same for both situation (7.4 m/s), but the change in kinetic energy has opposite sign in the two situations (negative when the rock is thrown upward, positive when thrown downward), the situation is not symmetrical, therefore in order to have the same magnitude of change in the kinetic energy, the change in speed must be larger when the kinetic energy involved is lower, so in the first situation.

In gas chromatography, what are the advantages of (a) temperature programming? (check all that apply.)
TiliK225 [7]
The following statements apply:
1. Resolution of low boiling solutes is maintained.
2. Retention times of high boiling solutes are decreased.
Temperature programming refers to the process of increasing the temperature of gas chromatography column as a function of time. Temperature programming is usually applied to samples which contain a mixture of components whose boiling points are within narrow ranges

a ball on a string makes 30.0 revolutions in 14.4s, in a circle of radius 0.340m. what is its period.(unit=s)
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

0.480 seconds

Explanation:

The period is the time for 1 revolution.  Writing a proportion:

14.4 s / 30.0 rev = t / 1 rev

t = 0.480 s

The period is 0.480 seconds.
