Answer:

a) 0m

b) 6m

Explanation:

First, we need to remember:

Displacement: Difference between final and initial position.

Distance traveled: Total distance traveled.

a) If the final position is the same as the initial position, then:

final position = initial position

And we know that:

displacement = final position - initial position = 0

Then the displacement of the book is zero.

We can assume that the book traveled along the perimeter of the table.

The table is a rectangle of width 1.2m and length 1.8m

Remember that for a rectangle of width W and length L, the perimeter is:

P = 2*L + 2*W

Then the perimeter of the table is:

P = 2*1.2m + 2*1.8m = 6m

This means that the distance traveled by the book is 6 meters.

<span>Hydrocarbons are molecules that contain only carbon and hydrogen.</span> Due to carbon's unique bonding patterns, hydrocarbons can have single, double, or triple bonds between the carbon atoms. The names of hydrocarbons with single bonds end in "-ane," those with double bonds end in "-ene," and those with triple bonds end in "-yne". The bonding of hydrocarbons allows them to form rings or chains.

The distance between slits in a double-slit experiment is decreased by a factor of 2. If the distance between fringes is small c

Elodia [21]

Answer:

the distance between adjacent fringes is increased by a factor o 2

Explanation:

To find how the distance between fringes is modified you can use the following formula for the calculation of the distance between fringes:

$\Delta y=\frac{\lambda D}{d}$

D: distance to the screen

d: distance between slits

λ: wavelength of the light

if d is decreased by a factor of 2, that is d'=1/2d, you have:

$\Delta y'=\frac{\lambda D}{d'}=\frac{\lambda D}{(1/2)d}=2\Delta y$

hence, the distance between adjacent fringes is increased by a factor o 2

Three observers watch a train pull away from a station toward the right of the platform. Observer A is in one of the train’s car

juin [17]

Observer A is moving inside the train

so here observer A will not be able to see the change in position of train as he is standing in the same reference frame

So here as per observer A the train will remain at rest and its not moving at all

Observer B is standing on the platform so here it is a stationary reference frame which is outside the moving body

So here observer B will see the actual motion of train which is moving in forward direction away from the platform

Observer C is inside other train which is moving in opposite direction on parallel track. So as per observer C the train is coming nearer to him at faster speed then the actual speed because they are moving in opposite direction

So the distance between them will decrease at faster rate

Now as per Newton's II law

F = ma

Now if train apply the brakes the net force on it will be opposite to its motion

So we can say

- F = ma

$a = \frac{-F}{m}$

so here acceleration negative will show that train will get slower and its distance with respect to us is now increasing with less rate

It is not affected by the gravity because the gravity will cause the weight of train and this weight is always counterbalanced by normal force on the train

So there is no effect on train motion
