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

What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit?

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

80 Ω.

Explanation:

In this circuit the resistances are in series.The equivalent resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of the resistances. Req= 60 + 20 = 80 Ω.

Light travels through a liquid at 2.25e8 m/s. What is the index of refraction of the liquid?

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

The index of refraction of the liquid is n = 1.33 equivalent to that of water

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The index of refraction of light in a medium ( n ) determines the degree of "bending" of light in that medium.

- The index of refraction is material property and proportional to density of the material.

- The denser the material the slower the light will move through associated with considerable diffraction angles.

- The lighter the material the faster the light pass through the material without being diffracted as much.

- So, in the other words index of refraction can be expressed as how fast or slow light passes through a medium.

- The reference of comparison of how fast or slow the light is the value of c = 3.0*10^8 m/s i.e speed of light in vacuum or also assumed to be the case for air.

- so we can mathematically express the index of refraction as a ratio of light speed in the material specified and speed of light.

- The light passes through a liquid with speed v = 2.25*10^8 m/s :

$n = c / v\\\\n = \frac{ 3*10^8 }{2.25*10^8} \\\\n = 1.33$

- The index of refraction of the liquid is n = 1.33 equivalent to that of water.

The tilt of the moon's axis does not allow for monthly alignment, so the lunar and solar eclipse do not happen every month.

<h3>How do the lunar and solar eclipse occur?</h3>

For the occurrence of lunar and solar eclipse, the sun, moon and the earth must remain in a plan and along a straight line.
When the earth appears in between the sun and the moon, lunar eclipse occurs.
When the moon appears in between the sun and the earth, solar eclipse occurs.
The moon and earth are rotating not only around the sun, but also around the black hole of Milky way galaxy.
So they are not present in a plan as well as in a straight line in every full moon and new moon time.

Thus, we can conclude that the option D is correct.

Enrico Fermi (1901–1954) was a famous physicist who liked to pose what are now known as Fermi problems, in which several assumpt

Katarina [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a)

Since the earth is assumed to be a sphere.

Volume of atmosphere = volume of (earth +atm osphere) — volume of earth

$= \frac{4}{3}\pi(6400+ 50)^3 - \frac{4}{3}\pi (6400)
^3\\\\= \frac{4}{3}\pi(6192125000) km’^3\\= 2.6\times 10^{19} m^3$

Hence the volume of atmosphere is $2.6\times 10^{19} m^3$

(b)

Write the ideal gas equation as foll ows:

$PV = nRT\\\\n\frac{0.20atm\times 2.6\times10^{19} m^3}{0.08206L\, atm/mok\, K \times (15+273+15)K}\times \frac{1L}{10^{-3}m^3}\\\\= 2.20\times 10^{20} moles$

$no.\, of\, molecules = 2.20\times 10^{20} moles \times \frac{6.022\times10^{23}\,molecules}{1mole}= 13.3\times10^{43} molecules
$

Hence the required molecules is $13.3\times10^{43} molecules
$

(c)

Write the ideal gas equation as follows:

$PV =nRT
\\\\n=\frac{1.0 atm \times 0.5L
}{0.08206 L\, atm/mol\,K \times (37 +273.1 5)K} = 0.0196 moles$

$no.\, of\, molecules = 0.0196 moles \times\frac{6.022\times10^{23} molecules}
{Imole}= 1.2\times 10^{23} molecules$

Hence the required molecules in Caesar breath is $1.2\times 10^{23} molecules$

(d)

Volume fraction in Caesar last breath is as follows:

$Fraction,\, X =\frac{12\times 10 molecules}{13.3\times 10^{43} \,molecules}= 9.0\times 10\, molecule/air\, molecule}$

(e)

Since the volume capacity of the human body is 500 mL.

$Volume\, of\, Caesar\, nreath\, inhale\, is =\frac{ 12\times 10^{22}\, molecules}{breath}\times \frac{9.0\times10^{-23} molecule}{air\, molecule}\\\\= 1.08 molecule/breath$
