Answer:

10.2 km

Explanation:

Displacement is the shortest distance from your original position after movement.

Now, the Zambeef delivery truck moves 18 km north and then 10 km east and then 16 km south.

This means that vertically the truck is 2km short of the 18 km he travelled north..

So we can find the displacement using pythagoras theorem..

Let d be the distance from the current position to the initial position.

Thus;

d² = 2² + 10²

d² = 4 + 100

d = √104

d ≈ 10.2 km

I have attached a diagram showing the direction of this displacement

Light from the sun reaches the earth in 8.3 minutes. the speed of light is 3.0  108 m/s. in kilometers, how far is the earth fr

Flura [38]

To determine the distance of the light that has traveled given the time it takes to travel that distance, we need a relation that would relate time with distance. In any case, it would be the speed of the motion or specifically the speed of light that is travelling which is given as 3x10^8 meters per second. So, we simply multiply the time to the speed. Before doing so, we need to remember that the units should be homogeneous. We do as follows:

distance = 3x10^8 m/s ( 8.3 min ) ( 60 s / 1 min ) = 1.494x10^11 m

Since we are asked for the distance to be in kilometers, we convert

distance = 1.494x10^11 m ( 1 km / 1000 m) = 149400000 km

NASA scientists suggest using rotating cylindrical spacecraft to replicate gravity while in a weightless environment. Consider s

dusya [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

diameter of spacecraft $d=148\ m$

radius $r=74\ m$

Force of gravity $F_g$ =mg

where m =mass of object

g=acceleration due to gravity on earth

Suppose v is the speed at which spacecraft is rotating so a net centripetal acceleration is acting on spacecraft which is given by

$F_c=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

$F_c=F_g$

$\frac{mv^2}{r}=mg$

$\frac{v^2}{r}=g$

$v=\sqrt{gr}$

$v=\sqrt{1450.4}$

$v=38.08\ m/s$

Why is it important that two different metals are used in building an electrochemic cell?

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

They need a galvanic difference. Or saying that less technically, they need to have different electron attraction, so that one can collect electrons (oxidation/reduction) and flow current from the other. :)
