Answer:

Robbie's displacement is zero.

Explanation:

Displacement is called the change in position that a body experiences, from an initial point A, to an end point B, through movement. That is, displacement is understood as the length and direction that a body travels to move from an initial point to an end point. Displacement is a vector type quantity, which is described from the magnitude and the direction.

Only the start point and the end point are important for displacement. When the object ends at the same starting point, the displacement will be zero.

You know that Robbie leaves his house and drives 5 miles North to the post office, 8 miles East to the park, 5 miles South to the grocery store, and then 8 miles West to get back home.

<u><em>Since in this case the start point and end point is Robbie's house, then the offset will be zero.</em></u>

A charged particle is moving perpendicular to a magnetic field in a circle with a radius r. An identical charge particle enters
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

<em>The second particle will move through the field with a radius greater that the radius of the first particle</em>

Explanation:

For a charged particle, the force on the particle is given as

F = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

also recall that work is force times the distance traveled

work = F x d

so, the work on the particle = F x d,

where the distance traveled by the particle in one revolution = 2\pi r

Work on a particle = 2πrF = 2\pi mv^{2}

This work is proportional to the energy of the particle.

And the work is also proportional to the radius of travel of the particles.

Since the second particle has a bigger speed v, when compared to the speed of the first particle, then, the the second particle has more energy, and thus will move through the field with a radius greater that the radius of the first particle.

Why does the uv from the sun hurt our eyes. Plz help
Oksanka [162]
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun is controlled by the ozone but if it infiltrates into the atmosphere it becomes a hazard. The uv reaches our eyes and darkens the retina and blurs vision. The fovea becomes insensitive and the cells dormant. This causes gradual blindness.

In a crash test, a 1000 kg automobile moving at 10 m/s crashes into a brick wall. How much energy goes into demolishing and warm
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of automobile m=1000\ kg

velocity of automobile v=10\ m/s

If the automobile crashes into the brick wall then it's kinetic energy is converted into thermal and demolishing energy to wall.

Car completely stops as it crashes into the wall so Energy converted into demolition and thermal energy

E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

E=\frac{1}{2}\times 1000\times (10)^2

E=50\ kJ

Identify the direction (from high to low, from low to high) that heat is normally transferred and give an example. (WILL GIVE BR
Natasha2012 [34]
Heat normally travels from areas of higher heat to areas of lower heat. For example, if you were to be in a classroom and all the windows and doors were closed, and then you opened a door, then the reason why the room becomes cooler is not because cold air comes inside the room. However, it is because when you open the door, the heat from the classroom you're in escapes the room. This is why it feels cooler when you open a door, or even a window. Heat is traveling from areas of higher heat to areas of lower heat.

Lake Baikal in Siberia has a maximum depth of 1642 m. What is the water
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Explanation:

Fluid gauge pressure is:

P = ρgh

where ρ is the fluid density and h is the depth of the fluid.

P = (1000 kg/m³) (9.8 m/s²) (1642 m)

P = 16,091,600 Pa

Rounded to four significant figures, the gauge pressure is 16.09 MPa.
