Answer:

Explanation:

If a cat walk 100m East, this means that it is walking in the positive x direction, the distance will therefore be +100m

If it turns around and walks 25 m west, the direction of movement is in the negative x direction i.e -25m

Taking the sum;

Displacement = +100m - 25m

Displacement of the cat = 75m

hence the cats displacement is 75m

11. (a)What downward force is acting on you when you go down a waterslide? (b)What type of friction is

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

a) "gravitation" is the force causing you to go down a waterslide

b) It is "fluid friction" as a solid object (our body) moves over a fluid (the water)

c) It would become "sliding friction" since two solid surfaces slide over each other

d) fluid friction being the weakest friction, switching to sliding friction means a higher decrease in speed and therefore removing the water from a slide will decrease our speed

Calculate the wavelength of light that has a frequency of 5.2 x 1012 1/s.

Travka [436]

Answer:

Wavelength = 5.77 * 10^-5 meters.

Explanation:

Given the following data:

Frequency of light = 5.2 *10^12 Hz

We know that the Speed of light = 3.0 * 10^8 m/s

To find the wavelength of light;

Mathematically, wavelength is calculated using this formula;

$Wavelength = \frac {speed}{frequency}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Wavelength = \frac {3*10^{8}}{5.2 *10^{12}}$

Wavelength = 5.77 * 10^-5 meters.

With the switch open, roughly what must be the resistance of the resistor on the right for the current out of the battery to be

Delvig [45]

Answer:

The resistance must be 6.67 $\Omega$

Solution:

Resistance, $R_{1} = 20\Omega$

Resistance, $R_{2} = 10\Omega$

For the current to be the same when the switch is open or closed, the resistances must be connected in parallel as current is distributed in parallel with the same voltage across the circuit:

Thus in parallel:

$\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{R_{1}} + \frac{1}{R_{2}}$

$\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{20} + \frac{1}{10}$

$R_{eq} = 6.67\ \Omega$
