An ant is crawling along a yardstick that is pointed with the 0-inch mark to the east and the 36-inch mark to the west. It start

s at the 6-inch mark, crawls to the 19-inch mark, then moves to the 7-inch mark. What was the total distance the ant traveled?

Answer:

it moves 25 inches.

Explanation:

the east west bit isn't important, ignore it. if an ant starts at 6 then moves to 19 then we need to subtract 19 from 6, that's 13. then it moves to 7. the difference between 19 and 7 is 12. add that to 13 and you get 25. it's important to remember that there is no such thing as negative distance. if it moved, then it counts.

A charge Q is uniformly spread over one surface of a very large nonconducting square elastic sheet having sides of length d. At
yaroslaw [1]

The electric field of a very large (essentially infinitely large) plane of charge is given by:

E = σ/(2ε₀)

E is the electric field, σ is the surface charge density, and ε₀ is the electric constant.

To determine σ:

σ = Q/A

Where Q is the total charge of the sheet and A is the sheet's area. The sheet is a square with a side length d, so A = d²:

σ = Q/d²

Make this substitution in the equation for E:

E = Q/(2ε₀d²)

We see that E is inversely proportional to the square of d:

E ∝ 1/d²

The electric field at P has some magnitude E. Now we double the side length of the sheet while keeping the same amount of charge Q distributed over the sheet. By the relationship of E with d, the electric field at P must now have a quarter of its original magnitude:

E_{new} = E/4

Why does a rolling sphere slows down?​
VLD [36.1K]

The sphere slow down due to friction force between the surface of the sphere and the surface on that the sphere is rolling . The friction force acting against the motion of the sphere. Thats why it is slowed down. In fact not only a sphere, anything can not slow down untill a force act against it's motion.

For what angle of incidence at the first mirror will this ray strike the midpoint of the second mirror (which is 28.0 cmcm long)
loris [4]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Two plane mirrors intersect at right angles. A laser beam strikes the first of them at a point 11.5 cm from their point of intersection, as shown in the figure.

For what angle of incidence at the first mirror will this ray strike the midpoint of the second mirror (which is 28.0 cmcm long) after reflecting from the first mirror

Answer: angle of incidence is 39.4°

Explanation:

Given that;

two plain mirrors intersect at right angle (90°)

distance d = 11.5 cm

S = 28.0 cm

Now the angle that the reflection ray males with first the mirror equal theta  (∅)

so

tan∅ = (S/2) / d

tan∅ = (28/2) / 11.5

tan∅ = 14 / 11.5

tan∅ = 1.2173

∅ = tan⁻¹ (1.2173)

∅ = 50.6°

so angle of incidence = 90° - ∅

= 90° - 50.6°

= 39.4°

Therefore angle of incidence is 39.4°
