Answer:

his displacement is 5m

Explanation:

A is the stage at which a man starts walking. He's walking 4 m north, i.e. AB, then going 3 m east, i.e. BC. The displacement is the connecting straight line between the original and the final position. The displacement is thus the AC hypotenuse of the right-angle triangle. By applying the theorem of hypotenuse, we get

⇒displacement=16+9−−−−−√=25−−√=5m

Answer:

The initial acceleration of the 59g particle is $1062.7\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Explanation:

Newton's second laws relates acceleration (a), net force(F) and mass (m) in the next way:

$F=ma$ (1)

We already know the mass of the particle so we should find the electric force on it to use on (1), the magnitude of the electric force between two charged objects by Columb's law is:

$F=k\frac{\mid q_{1}q_{2}\mid}{r^{2}}$
