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)

If the atomic number of an atom is 4 and the mass number is 9, then how many electrons does it have
miskamm [114]
The atomic number of an atom says how many protons it has. This number cant change, since the atomic number is what gives elements their identities (in the periodic table, at least).
The mass number, on the other hand, says how many protons AND neutrons the atom has (so, the sum of P+ and N0). So, electrons have nothing to do with this number.
Atoms are neutrally charged, which means there has to be an equal number of positive and negative particles. The negative particles of an atom are its electrons, and since our atom has 4 protons, it must also have 4 electrons.

An accelerating voltage
ki77a [65]
Accelerating voltage<span> is the difference in potential between the filament and the anode,and it can be varied between 5 KeV and 30 KeV on the S-500 and between 2 KeV and 30 KeV on the S-450. As the </span>voltage<span> is increased, the electrons travel with higher velocity and are more energetic.</span>

The 26-kg sphere c is released from rest when θ = 0∘ and the tension in the spring is f = 100 n
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
You are given the mass of a sphere that is 26 kg sphere and it is released from rest when θ = 0°. You are also given the force of the spring that is F = 100 N. You are asked to find the tension of the spring. Imagine that the sphere is connected to a spring. The spring exerts a tension and the spring exerts gravitational pull. This will follow the second law of newton.

T - F = ma
T = ma + F
T = 26kg (9.81m/s²) + 100 N
T = 355.06 N
