Is the distance we walk equal to the magnitude of our displacement?

1 answer:

8 0

Answer:

If you take the first example of the walk around the desk, it should be apparent that sometimes the distance is the same as the magnitude of the displacement. ... Since the displacement is measured along the shortest path between two points, its magnitude is always less than or equal to the distance.

A. How long does it take light to travel through a 3.0-mm-thick piece of window glass?

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

a) $1.517\times10^{-11}$ s

b) 3.41 mm

Explanation:

We take the speed of light, c = $3.0\times10^8$ m/s and the refractive index of glass as 1.517.

Speed = distance/time

Time = distance/speed

Refractive index, n = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium

$n=\dfrac{c}{s}$

$s=\dfrac{c}{n}$

$t=\dfrac{d}{c/n}$

$t=\dfrac{dn}{c}$

$t=\dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times1.517}{3.0\times10^8}$

$t=1.517\times10^{-11}$

We take the refractive index of water as 1.333.

Speed in water = speed in vacuum / refractive index of water

Distance = speed * time

$d=s\times t$

$d=\dfrac{c}{n_w}\times \dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times1.517}{c}$

$d=\dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times 1.517}{1.333}$

d = 3.41 mm

When you step into a very full bath or hot tub, sometimes the water overflows. But when you step into a lake and swim, you don't

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

This all simply due to the size of the two water bodies question and the your body size in a bath tub the water is small enough to allow the upthrust displace water out if the tub whereas in a lake the water is bigger and your body size is smaller to allow any noticeable upthrust that would cause an overflow
