When you start from your house, your bike’s speedometer dial shows a reading of 842 Km. After you go on a straight road for half

an hour the dial shows 854km. At this point you pickup your friend and take a right turn and travel on a straight road for another 15 minutes. At the end your dial reads 859 km. Find the magnitude of your displacement?

Answer:

S = 12757.5 m

Explanation:

A magnitude of the displacement can be obtained by visualizing the walking. The actual path from A to B Is 3 m then from B to D as 5 m and finally from D to E as 6 m. |S| =√92+52 = 10.29 m. The direction of Resultant displacement is South East.

<u>Solving for the different variables we can use the following formulas:  </u>

  • Given v, u, and t solve for s

Given initial velocity, final velocity, and time calculate the displacement.

s = ½( v + u )t

  • Given S, T, and U solve for V

Given displacement, time, and initial velocity calculate the final velocity.

v = 2s/t - u

  • Given S, T, and V solve for U

Given displacement, time, and final velocity calculate the initial velocity.

u = 2s/t - v

  • Given v, u, and t solve for s

Given initial velocity, final velocity, and time calculate the displacement.

t = 2s/ ( v + u )

Which change increases the electric force between objects?
Brrunno [24]
Well, the force is proportional to the product of the charges
on the two objects.  So if the objects are already negatively
charged distance between them is unchanged, then adding
electrons to either or both objects would increase the forces
between them.

Read the scenario.
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

distance = 6 m

Explanation:

- Distance is a scalar quantity (so, only magnitude, no direction), and it is calculated as the scalar sum of all the distances travelled by an object during its motion, regardless of the direction. So, in this problem, the distance covered by the pinecone is

d = 4 m + 2 m = 6 m

- Displacement is a vector quantity (magnitude+direction), and its magnitude is calculate as the distance in a straight line between the final position and the initial position of the object. In this case, the final position is 2 m west and the initial position is 0 m, so the displacement of the pinecone is

d = 2 m west - 0 m = 2 m west

So, a scalar quantity from this scenario is

distance = 6 m

23) A high school website directs parents to not allow student access to blue laser pointers or allow the students to bring them

Mainly because of the higher energy of blue light than red light.

In fact, light is made of photons, each one carrying an energy equal to
E=hf
where h is the Planck constant while f is the frequency of the light.
The frequency of red light is approximately 450 THz, while the frequency of blue light is about 650 Hz. Higher frequency means higher energy, so blue light is more energetic than red light and therefore it can cause more damages than red light.

Determine the direction of the force that will act on the charge in each of the following situations. A negative charge moving t
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

a) DOWN direction,  b)  directed INTO THE SCREEN, c)    F = 0

Explanation:

The direction of the force is

for electric force

           F = q E

where we assume a positive test charge, for which the force has the direction of the electric field.

For a magnetic field

in this case the direction of the force is given by the right hand rule.

For a positive test charge, the thumb points in the direction of velocity, the other fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field, and the palm gives the direction of force for a positive charge.

           F = q v x B

Let us apply these considerations to our case.

a) negative charge moving to the left

in a magnetic field points away from the screen

In this case the thumb goes to the left, the fingers extended outwards and the palm points upwards, but since the charge is negative the force has a DOWN direction.

b) negative charge moves to the left

in electric field it points off the screen.

The outside is in the direction of the electric field and since the charge is negative, the force is directed INTO THE SCREEN

c) positive charge moves down

in magnetic field points up

in this case the velocity and the field have the same direction so the vector product of them is zero

       F = q v  B sin 0

       F = 0
