Answer and Explanation:

If the ant was to crawl 50cm to the right, then come back 30 cm, then the total distance walked would be <u>80cm</u>.

- Combine 50cm and 30cm to get 80 cm.

For displacement, the answer is <u>20 cm.</u>

- When calculating displacement, you use the initial (starting) distance. and subtract that from the final distance, giving you the displacement, or the amount traveled from the starting point to the final point if you were to make a straight line from the starting point to end point. (0 to 50, then back 30 the same direction, so subtract 30 from 50 to get 20)

Answer:

Distance = 80cm

Displacement = 20cm

Explanation:

Distance does not depend on direction, its the total amount traveled.

Displacement has a direction. Displacement is how far your stopping point is from the beginning point.

The ant could have walked 50cm to the east, stopped and turned around, walked 50cm to the west, walking a total distance of 100cm, but the displacement would be 0 because he ended up at the same spot that he started. It can get much more complicated than this, but this is a good start.

A student lifts a set of books off a table and places them in the upper shelf of a book case which is 2 meters above the table.
AfilCa [17]
The work done is the product between the intensity of the force applied F, the amount of the displacement d of the book and the cosine of the angle \theta between the direction of the force and the direction of the displacement:
W=Fd \cos \theta
In our problem, the student is lifting the book, so he is applying a force directed upward, and the book is moving upward, so F and d are parallel and therefore the angle is zero, so \cos \theta = \cos 0=1
Therefore, the work done is
W=Fd=(5 N)(2 m)=10 J

Two parallel conducting plates are separated by 10.0 cm, and one of them is taken to be at zero volts. (a) what is the electric
Alex_Xolod [135]

The expression for the magnitude of the electric field between two uniform conducting plates is

E=\frac{V}{d}

Here, V is potential difference between plates and d is separation between plates.

As the potential 6.00 cm from the zero volt plate (and 4.00 cm from the other) is 420 V.

Therefore,

E = \frac{420 \ V}{6 \times 10^{-2} m } = 70 \times 10^2 \ V/m

Thus, the electric field strength between the plates is 7000 V/ m
