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 long, thin solenoid has 450 turns per meter and a radius of 1.17 cm. The current in the solenoid is increasing at a uniform ra
sergey [27]

Answer:

\frac{di}{dt}  = 7.31 \  A/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

     The  number of turns is  N =  450 \  turns

      The  radius is  r =  1.17 \ cm =  0.0117 \ m

       The  position from the center consider is  x =  3.45 cm  =  0.0345 m

       The  induced emf is  e  =  8.20 *10^{-6} \  V/m

Generally according to Gauss law

        \int\limits { e } \, dl  =  \mu_o *  N  *  \frac{di}{dt }  *  A

=>    e *  2\pi x  =  \mu_o  *  N  *  \frac{d i }{dt }  *  A

Where A is the  cross-sectional area of the solenoid which is mathematically represented as

                A =  \pi r ^2

=>      e *  2\pi x  =  \mu_o  *  N  *  \frac{d i }{dt }  *  \pi r^2

=>       \frac{di}{dt}  =  \frac{2e * x  }{\mu_o * N  * r^2}ggl;

Here  \mu_o is the permeability of free space with value

          \mu_o  =  4\pi * 10^{-7} \  N/A^2

=>     \frac{di}{dt}  =  \frac{2 *  8.20*10^{-6} *  0.0345  }{ 4\pi * 10^{-7} * 450  * (0.0117)^2}

=>      \frac{di}{dt}  = 7.31 \  A/s

An initially uncharged 3.67 μF capacitor and a 8.01 k Ω resistor are connected in series to a 1.50 V battery that has negligible
inn [45]

Answer:

The initial current in the circuit is 0.1873 mA

Explanation:

Given;

capacitance is given as 3.67 x 10⁻⁶ F

resistance is given as 8010 Ω

voltage across the circuit is 1.5 V

Since the capacitor is initially uncharged, the capacitive reactance is zero.

From ohms law;

Voltage across the circuit is directly proportional to the opposition to the flow of current.

V = IR

I = V/R

I = 1.5/8010

I = 0.0001873 A = 0.1873 mA

Therefore, the initial current in the circuit is 0.1873 mA

An irregularly shaped stone was lowered into a graduated cylinder holding a volume of water equal to 20L. The height of water ro
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

2.45 g/mL

Explanation:

(assuming that the original volume was 20 mL and not L)

Since you know the amount of water in the cylinder before and after you placed the rock in, you can subtract them to get the volume of the rock itself. 30.2-20=10.2 mL.

To get the rock's density, use the equation d=\frac{m}{v}, where m is mass and v is volume.

d=\frac{25 g}{10.2mL}\\\\d=2.45 g/mL
