The displacement of Itzel according to the question is 6.3 miles SW

Displacement is defined as the distance moved by a body in a specified direction

Find the diagram attached

From the diagram given, we can see that AB is the displacement

To get the length AB, we will have to use the Pythagoras theorem:

$AB^2=2^2+ 6^2\\AB^2 ^2=4+36\\AB^2=40\\AB=\sqrt{40}\\AB= 6.3 miles\\$

From the diagram, we can also se that the direction of the displacement in the South West direction.

Hence the displacement of Itzel according to the question is 6.3 miles SW

Contrast electron movement within conductors and insulators.

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Below

Explanation:

● What makes conductors special is that they have some free electrons that can move.

● An insulator has no free electrons wich explains why current isn't transmitted through it.

A light ray in air enters and passes through a block of glass. What can be stated with regard to its speed after it emerges from

Alik [6]

Answer:

Speed is same as that before it entered glass.

Explanation:

Given:

A light ray enters and passes through the glass as shown in the diagram.

We have to analyze its speed.

Speed of light in air is $3\times 10^8\ ms^-^1$ and speed of light in glass is $2.25\times 10^8\ ms^-^1$

Whenever a light ray enters a glass block or slab there is bending of light at the interface of the two media.

So speed of light will decrease in glass medium and again it passes to the air.

So

Speed of light in air will again increase or will be equivalent to the earlier speed when it was entering the glass block.

Finally

Speed is same as that before it entered glass as it in the same medium (air).

Two cars are traveling along a straight line in the same direction, the lead car at 25 m/s and the other car at 35 m/s. At the m

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

a. $t_1=12.5\ s$

b. $a_2=-13.61\ m.s^{-2}$ must be the minimum magnitude of deceleration to avoid hitting the leading car before stopping

c. $t_2=2.5714\ s$ is the time taken to stop after braking

Explanation:

Given:

speed of leading car, $u_1=25\ m.s^{-1}$

speed of lagging car, $u_{2}=35\ m.s^{-1}$

distance between the cars, $\Delta s=45\ m$

deceleration of the leading car after braking, $a_1=-2\ m.s^{-2}$

a.

Time taken by the car to stop:

$v_1=u_1+a_1.t_1$

where:

$v_1=0$ , final velocity after braking

$t_1=$ time taken

$0=25-2\times t_1$

$t_1=12.5\ s$

b.

using the eq. of motion for the given condition:

$v_2^2=u_2^2+2.a_2.\Delta s$

where:

$v_2=$ final velocity of the chasing car after braking = 0

$a_2=$ acceleration of the chasing car after braking

$0^2=35^2+2\times a_2\times 45$

$a_2=-13.61\ m.s^{-2}$ must be the minimum magnitude of deceleration to avoid hitting the leading car before stopping

c.

time taken by the chasing car to stop:

$v_2=u_2+a_2.t_2$

$0=35-13.61\times t_2$

$t_2=2.5714\ s$ is the time taken to stop after braking

A piece of rope is pulled by two people in a tug-of-war. each exerts a 400-n force. what is the tension in the rope?

Leokris [45]

Newtons 3.law: Action = Reaction

If a body exerts a force on a rope of 400 N the rope exerts a force on the body of 400N also. So the tension in the rope is 400N. See pictures below.
