Aswer:

False, the values of the distance traveled and the displacement only coincide when the trayectorie is a straight line. Otherwise, the distance will always be greater than the offset.

Although these terms are used synonymously in other cases, they are totally different. Since the distance that a mobile travels is the equivalent of the length of its trajectory. Whereas, the displacement will be a vector magnitude.

A physics student throws a softball straight up into the air. The ball was in the air for a total of 3.56 s before it was caught

meriva

Answer:

The initial velocity of the softball is 14.711 meters per second.

Explanation:

This is a case of an object which experiments a free fall, that is, an uniform accelerated motion due to gravity and in which effects from air friction and Earth's rotation can be neglected.

From statement we must understand that the student threw the softball upwards and it is caught at original position 3.56 seconds later. Initial and final heights, time and gravitational acceleration are known and initial speed is unknown. The following equation of motion is used:

$y = y_{o} + v_{o}\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot g \cdot t^{2}$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$y_{o}$ - Initial height of the softball, measured in meters.

$y$ - Final height of the softball, measured in meters.

$v_{o}$ - Initial velocity of the softball, measured in meters per second.

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that $y = y_{o}$ , $t = 3.56\,s$ and $g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , the initial velocity of the softball is:

$v_{o}\cdot (3\,s)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (3\,s)^{2} = 0$

$3\cdot v_{o} -44.132\,m= 0$

$v_{o} = 14.711\,\frac{m}{s}$

The initial velocity of the softball is 14.711 meters per second.

Order the speed of sound through these materials from the slowest to the fastest.

Sholpan [36]

Speed of sound in cold air < Speed of sound in Warm air < Speed of sound in hot molten lead < Speed of sound in water

Explanation:

Step 1:

Speed of sound in water varies from 1450 to 1498 meters per second

Speed of sound in Hot Molten lead is approximately 1210 meters per second

Speed of sound in warm air is approximately 338.89 meters per second

Speed of sound in cold air is approximately 293.33 meters per second

Step 2:

In warm air sound travels faster than that of sound travelling nature in cold air.

∴ Speed of sound in cold air < Speed of sound in Warm air < Speed of sound in hot molten lead < Speed of sound in water

Speed of sound in cold air the slowest while Speed of sound in water is the fastest mean.

The electric field of a sinusoidal electromagnetic wave obeys the equation E = (375V /m) cos[(1.99× 107rad/m)x + (5.97 × 1015rad

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

a) v = 2,9992 10⁸ m / s , b) Eo = 375 V / m , B = 1.25 10⁻⁶ T,

c) λ = 3,157 10⁻⁷ m, f = 9.50 10¹⁴ Hz , T = 1.05 10⁻¹⁵ s , UV

Explanation:

In this problem they give us the equation of the traveling wave

E = 375 cos [1.99 10⁷ x + 5.97 10¹⁵ t]

a) what the wave velocity

all waves must meet

v = λ f

In this case, because of an electromagnetic wave, the speed must be the speed of light.

k = 2π / λ

λ = 2π / k

λ = 2π / 1.99 10⁷

λ = 3,157 10⁻⁷ m

w = 2π f

f = w / 2 π

f = 5.97 10¹⁵ / 2π

f = 9.50 10¹⁴ Hz

the wave speed is

v = 3,157 10⁻⁷ 9.50 10¹⁴

v = 2,9992 10⁸ m / s

b) The electric field is

Eo = 375 V / m

to find the magnetic field we use

E / B = c

B = E / c

B = 375 / 2,9992 10⁸

B = 1.25 10⁻⁶ T

c) The period is

T = 1 / f

T = 1 / 9.50 10¹⁴

T = 1.05 10⁻¹⁵ s

the wavelength value is

λ = 3,157 10-7 m (109 nm / 1m) = 315.7 nm

this wavelength corresponds to the ultraviolet

A student states, "The wave model is better than the particle model for electromagnetic radiation because it is easier to unders

Kobotan [32]

The student's claim did not follow the scientific method of discovery, hence, it is an opinion not a scientific claim.

<h3>What is the scientific method?</h3>

The scientific method is a procedure employed by scientific towards understanding the world around them as well giving explanation for phenomena in the natural world.

The scientific method involves:

observations
asking questions
putting forward a hypothesis
testing the hypothesis through experiments
analyzing results of the experiments and drawing conclusions
establishing a theory.

Since the student in question just put forward an opinion without testing it out using the scientific method, the statement is not a scientific claim.
