A caterpillar tries to climb straight up a wall a meter high, but for every 2 cm up it climbs, it slides down 1 cm. Eventually,

it reaches the top. When it reaches the top, it does not pull itself over so it will slide down 1 cm. What is the total displacement traveled? (Include direction, whether up, down, or n/a.)

<u>Answer:</u>

Total displacement traveled = 298

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to the given information, to actually climb for 1 cm, the caterpillar has to travel for 3 cm (2 cm upwards and 1 cm downwards).

So in order to climb straight up a one meter (100 cm) high wall, it needs to travel for 99 × 3 = 297 cm.

Then after a little it can travel up another cm to reach the top.

Therefore, the total displacement traveled = 297 + 1 = 298 cm

"Displacement" means the distance and direction from start to finish, regardless of what happened in between.

The caterpillar's displacement is 99 cm straight up.

For any molecule, formula unit, or ion, the sum of the average atomic masses of all the atoms represented in a formula is the.
alukav5142 [94]

The mass of a substance is given in atomic mass units and is calculated by adding the average atomic masses of all the atoms in the substance's chemical formula.

<h3>What empirical formula represents the total average atomic mass of every atom?</h3>

The Method The average atomic masses of all the atoms included in a formula's representation are added to get the mass of any molecule, formula unit, or ion. It has no bearing on the number of significant figures because the number of atoms is an exact quantity. One H2O molecule weighs 18.02 amu on average.

<h3>What connection exists between the empirical formula and the molecular formula?</h3>

You can determine the number of atoms of each element in a molecule using its molecular formula. These empirical formulations provide the most basic or reduced elemental ratio of a compound. The empirical formula and the molecular formula of a substance are same if the molecular formula can no longer be decreased.

During a compression at a constant pressure of 290 Pa, the volume of an ideal gas decreases from 0.62 m3 to 0.21 m3. The initial
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

a) -41.1 Joule

b) 108.38 Kelvin

Explanation:

Pressure = P = 290 Pa

Initial volume of gas = V₁ = 0.62 m³

Final volume of gas = V₂ = 0.21 m³

Initial temperature of gas = T₁ = 320 K

Heat loss = Q = -160 J

Work done = PΔV

⇒Work done = 290×(0.21-0.62)

⇒Work done = -118.9 J

a) Change in internal energy = Heat - Work

ΔU = -160 -(-118.9)

⇒ΔU = -41.1 J

∴ Change in internal energy is -41.1 J

b) V₁/V₂ = T₁/T₂

⇒T₂ = T₁V₂/V₁

⇒T₂ = 320×0.21/0.62

⇒T₂ = 108.38 K

∴ Final temperature of the gas is 108.38 Kelvin

How much will a 200kg hippo accelerate if you push it with a force of 800 N?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

force = f, mass = m, acceleration = a

f = m a

m = 200 kg

f = 800 N

f = m a

800 = 200a

a = 800 / 200

<u><em>a = 4</em></u>

Hope this helps

A satellite was in two separate crashes. In both crashes, the satellite had the same mass. Engineers want to know about the spee
Komok [63]

Answer:

The fastest satellite must change orbit

The most massive body (m₁) transfers more momentum to the satellite,

Explanation:

For this problem we consider a system formed by the satellite and each of the bodies with which it collides, in this system the forces during the collision are internal, the amount of movement must be conserved. Let's write the momentum is two instants

Most massive body (m1)

initial. Before the crash

      p₀₁ = M v + m₁ v₁

after the crash

      p_{f1} = M v´ + m₁ v₁´

how momentum is conserved

     p₀ = p_{f}

Lighter body (m2)

      p₀₂ = M v + m₂ v₂

       p_{f2} = M v´ + m₂ v₂´

           

Let's clarify that the speed of the satellite and the object do not have the same direction, in general these shocks are elastic.

We can see that  p₀₁> p₀₂

Let us analyze the two cases when the body collides, The most massive body (m₁) transfers more momentum to the satellite, therefore there must be a greater change in its momentum and velocity.

The fastest satellite must change orbit, thus rotating at a different distance from Earth
