<u>Answer:</u>

   Displacement = 100 meter

   Distance covered = 180 meter.

<u>Explanation:</u>

   Let east represents positive x- axis and north represent positive y - axis. Horizontal component is i and vertical component is j.

  Carl runs 100 m West, Displacement = -100 i

  He then runs 60 m North, Displacement = 60 j

   He then runs 20 m East, Displacement = 20 i

  Total displacement of Carl's running = -100 i + 60 j + 20 i = (-80 i + 60 j) m (Vector)

  Magnitude of displacement =  \sqrt{(-80)^2+60^2} =100 m

  Distance traveled by Carl = 100 + 60 + 20 = 180 m ( Scalar)

A hiker walks 200 m west and then walks 100 m north. In what direction is her resulting displacement?a. northb. westc. northwest
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Assuming that the hiker starts walking from the origin O as shown in the figure.

First, he walks 200 m west to point A (say), then he walks 100 m north to the final point B (say) as shown in the figure.

The final point B is in the north-west direction, therefore, the resulting point is in the north-west direction.

Hence, option (C) is correct.

Does a photon emitted by a higher-wattage red light bulb have more energy than a photon emitted by a lower-wattage red bulb
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The energy of these two photons would be the same as long as their frequencies are the same (same color, assuming that the two bulbs emit at only one wavelength.)

Explanation:

The energy E of a photon is proportional to its frequency f. The constant of proportionality is Planck's Constant, h. This proportionality is known as the Planck-Einstein Relation.

E = h\, f.

The color of a beam of visible light depends on the frequency of the light. Assume that the two bulbs in this question each emits light of only one frequency (rather than a mix of light of different frequencies and colors.) Let f_{1} and f_{2} denote the frequency of the light from each bulb.

If the color of the red light from the two bulbs is the same, those two bulbs must emit light at the same frequency: f_{1} = f_{2}.

Thus, by the Planck-Einstein Relation, the energy of a photon from each bulb would also be the same:

h\, f_{1} = h\, f_{2}.

Note that among these two bulbs, the brighter one appears brighter soley because it emits more photons per unit area in unit time. While the energy of each photon stays the same, the bulb releases more energy by emitting more of these photons.

Laminar flow, where water moves in approximately straight-line paths, characterizes ________.
densk [106]

Answer:

b. slow-moving streams.

Explanation:

In Fluid Mechanics, the Reynolds numbers indicates the existence of turbulence in fluid streams. Low Reynolds numbers are related with laminar flow. The Reynolds formula is:

Re = \frac{\rho_{water} \cdot L_{c}}{\mu_{water}} \cdot v

The Reynolds number is directly proportional to fluid speed. Hence, slow-moving streams are a sound example of laminar flow. The correct answer is B.

The inductance of a solenoid with 450 turns and a length of 24 cm is 7.3 mH. (a) What is the cross-sectional area of the solenoi
Novay_Z [31]

Answer: 0.43 V

Explanation:

L = [μ(0) * N² * A] / l

Where

L = Inductance of the solenoid

N = the number of turns in the solenoid

A = cross sectional area of the solenoid

l = length of the solenoid

7.3*10^-3 = [4π*10^-7 * 450² * A] / 0.24

1.752*10^-3 = 4π*10^-7 * 202500 * A

1.752*10^-3 = 0.255 * A

A = 1.752*10^-3 / 0.255

A = 0.00687 m²

A = 6.87*10^-3 m²

emf = -N(ΔΦ/Δt).........1

L = N(ΔΦ/ΔI) so that,

N*ΔΦ = ΔI*L

Substituting this in eqn 1, we have

emf = - ΔI*L / Δt

emf = - [(0 - 3.2) * 7.3*10^-3] / 55*10^-3

emf = 0.0234 / 0.055

emf = 0.43 V
