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.

If y = 0.02 sin (30x – 200t) (SI units), the frequency of the wave is
leva [86]

Answer:

31.831 Hz.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • \rm y = 0.02\sin(30x-200 t).

The vertical displacement of a wave is given in generalized form as

\rm y = A\sin(kx -\omega t).

<em>where</em>,

  • A = amplitude of the displacement of the wave.
  • k = wave number of the wave = \dfrac{2\pi }{\lambda}.
  • \lambda = wavelength of the wave.
  • x = horizontal displacement of the wave.
  • \omega = angular frequency of the wave = \rm 2\pi f.
  • f = frequency of the wave.
  • t = time at which the displacement is calculated.

On comparing the generalized equation with the given equation of the displacement of the wave, we get,

\rm A=0.02.\\k=30.\\\omega =200.\\

therefore,

\rm 2\pi f=200\\\\\Rightarrow f = \dfrac{200}{2\pi}=31.831\ Hz.

It is the required frequency of the wave.

How do you solving kinematic equations for horizontal projectiles?
daser333 [38]
See projectiles are very simple unless you understand its core concepts....projectile is nothing just mixture of upward motion and horizontal motion....
THE KEY IS FORGET THE NAME PROJECTILE...ITS JUST HORIZONTAL MOTION + VERTICAL MOTION

Why must we be careful when measuring current with a DMM?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

DMM should be placed in the series combination with the circuit.

Explanation:

DMM is the digital multi meter. It can measure the voltage, current and resistance at a time.

  • While measuring the current with the DMM you must be ensure that the DMM should be connected with the circuit in series combination. So that it will give the resultant current accurately.
  • While measuring the voltage the observer should check the open probes.
