Answer:

Total: 200 meters, Displacement: 100 meters South

Explanation:

First, add up the meters traveled to get the total distance.

50m + 150m = 200m

Lastly, displacement is the shortest distance from the initial position to the final position. The person first walked 50 meters north but then traveled 150 meters south. Therefore, their displacement was 100 meters south.

50m - 150m = -100m

(Note: Directions are vectors. North and East are positive vectors while South and West are negative)

The density of aluminum is 2.7 × 103 kg/m3 . the speed of longitudinal waves in an aluminum rod is measured to be 5.1 × 103 m/s.
andrey2020 [161]
<span>The speed of longitudinal waves, S, in a thin rod = âšYoung modulus / density , where Y is in N/m^2. So, S = âšYoung modulus/ density. Squaring both sides, we have, S^2 = Young Modulus/ density. So, Young Modulus = S^2 * density; where S is the speed of the longitudinal wave. Then Substiting into the eqn we have (5.1 *10^3)^2 * 2.7 * 10^3 = 26.01 * 10^6 * 2.7 *10^6 = 26.01 * 2.7 * 10^ (6+3) = 70.227 * 10 ^9</span>

hypotenuse of a right triangle.
v^2 = 90^2 + 4^2
v^2 = 8116
Taking the square root of both sides here we get,
v = 90.1 m/s

How many excess electrons must be present on each sphere if the magnitude of the force of repulsion between them is 3.33××10âˆ
AlekseyPX

Answer:

There are 756.25 electrons present on each sphere.

Explanation:

Given that,

The force of repression between electrons, F=3.33\times 10^{-21}\ N

Let the distance between charges, d = 0.2 m

The electric force of repulsion between the electrons is given by :

F=k\dfrac{q^2}{r^2}

q=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr^2}{k}}

q=\sqrt{\dfrac{3.33\times 10^{-21}\times (0.2)^2}{9\times 10^9}}

q=1.21\times 10^{-16}\ C

Let n are the number of excess electrons present on each sphere. It can be calculated using quantization of charges. It is given by :

q = ne

n=\dfrac{q}{e}

n=\dfrac{1.21\times 10^{-16}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

n = 756.25 electrons

So, there are 756.25 electrons present on each sphere. Hence, this is the required solution.

The gravitational self potential energy of a solid ball of mass density ρ and radius R is E. What is the gravitational self pote
Alenkasestr [34]
It will be
E = mgh.
where h and g are constant thus
m can be written as 4/3πr^3*density
E = 4/3πr^3* density
E? = 4/3π(2R)^3* density
= 4/3π8r^3
thus the e will be 4/3π8r^3* density/4/3πr^3*density nd thus you get 8E ..

Which one of the following environments will sound not travel through?
Eduardwww [97]
The answer is d. Vacuum

Sound waves need a molecul to travel through. Gas , solid, annd liquid provide that medium.

But vacuum is just an empty space withour any moleculs in it.

Thats why in space, no one can hear you scream. Because it simply not physicsly possible
