How are distance and displacement similar and different?

Physics
1 answer:
irga5000 [103]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

distance is a scalar quantity, it only has a magnitude, not direction

displacement is a vector quantity, it has both magnitude and direction

for example, 20m North -------> is a vector quantity, it shows direction

20m -----------> is a scalar quantity, it has not direction

Why do metals make good electrical conductors?
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Metals are good conductors of electricity because they contain free electrons in their atoms. The outer shell of atom's of metal have free electrons. These free electrons are responsible of electrical conductivity of metals. These electron are not bounded by the attraction forces of the nucleous. They are free to wonder in lattice of positive ion and thus allow electrical conductivity.

Artemon [7]

Complete Question:

A hollow cylinder with an inner radius of 4.0mm and an outer radius of 30mm conducts a 3.0-A current flowing parallel to the axis of the cylinder. If the current density is uniform throughout the wire, what is the magnitude of the magnetic field at a point 12mm from its center?

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic field = 7.24 μT

Explanation:

Inner radius, a = 4.0 mm = 0.004 m

Outer radius, b = 30 mm = 0.03 m

Radius, r = 12 mm = 0.012 m

let h² = b² - a²

h² = 0.03² - 0.004²

h² = 0.000884

Let d² = r² - a²

d² = 0.012² - 0.004²

d² = 0.000128

Current I = 3A

μ = 4π * 10⁻⁷

The magnitude of the magnetic field is given by:

B = \frac{\mu I d^{2} }{2\pi r h^{2} } \\B =  \frac{4\pi * 10^{-7}   * 3* 0.000128^{2} }{2\pi *0.012* 0.000884^{2} }

B = 7.24 * 10⁻⁶T

B = 7.24 μT

A 1000 kg weather rocket is launched straight up. The rocket motor provides a constant acceleration for 16 s, then the motor sto
Fed [463]

Answer:

a)   a = 34.375 m / s²,  b)    v_f = 550 m / s

Explanation:

This problem is the launch of projectiles, they tell us to ignore the effect of the friction force.

a) Let's start with the final part of the movement, which is carried out from t= 16 s with constant speed

             v_f = \frac{x-x_1}{t}

we substitute the values

             v_f = \frac{ 6600 -x_1}{4}  

The initial part of the movement is carried out with acceleration

             v_f = v₀ + a t

             x₁ = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ a t²

the rocket starts from rest v₀ = 0 with an initial height x₀ = 0

             x₁ = ½ a t²

             v_f = a t

we substitute the values

              x₁ = 1/2  a 16²

              x₁ = 128 a

              v_f = 16 a

let's write our system of equations  

               v_f = \frac{6600 - x_1}{4}

               x₁ = 128 a

               v_f = 16 a

we substitute in the first equation  

               16 a = \frac{6600 -128 a}{4}

               16 4 a = 6600 - 128 a

                a (64 + 128) = 6600

                a = 6600/192

                 a = 34.375 m / s²

b) let's find the time to reach this height

                x = ½ to t²

                t² = 2y / a

                t² = 2 5100 / 34.375

                t² = 296.72

                t = 17.2 s

We can see that for this time the acceleration is zero, so the rocket is in the constant velocity part

               v_f = 16 a

               v_f = 16 34.375

               v_f = 550 m / s
