Answer:

a) The distance travelled by the the locomotive is 30 meters, b) The final displacement of the locomotive is 6 meters westwards.

Explanation:

a) The distance travelled is the sum of magnitudes of distances covered by the train during its motion. That is to say:

s_{T} = 18\,m + 12\,m

s_{T} = 30\,m

The distance travelled by the the locomotive is 30 meters.

b) The displacement is the vectorial distance of the train with respect to a point of reference, since west and east are antiparallel to each other, calculations can be simplified to a scalar form. Let suppose that movement to the east is positive. The calculations are presented below:

s_{P} = -18\,m +12\,m

s_{P} = -6\,m

The final displacement of the locomotive is 6 meters westwards.

3. What conclusion can you make about the electric field strength between two parallel plates? Explain your answer referencing P
KIM [24]

Answer:

From the relation above we can conclude that the  as the distance between the two plate increases the electric field strength decreases

Explanation:

I cannot  find any attached photo, but we can proceed anyways theoretically.

The electric field strength (E) at any point in an electric field is the force experienced by a unit positive charge (Q) at that point

i.e

E=\frac{F}{Q}

But the force F

F= \frac{kQ1Q2}{r^2}

But the electric field intensity due to a point charge Q at a distance r meters away is given by

E= \frac{\frac{kQ1Q2}{r^2}}{Q} \\\\\E= \frac{Q1}{4\pi er^2 }

<em>From the relation above we can conclude that the  as the distance between the two plate increases the electric field strength decreases</em>

An organ pipe open at both ends has a radius of 4.0 cm and a length of 6.0 m. what is the frequency (in hz) of the third harmoni
Marysya12 [62]

When air is blown into the open pipe,

L = \frac{nλ}{2}

where nis any integral number 1,2,3,4 etc. and λ is the wavelength of the oscillation

⇒λ=\frac{2L} {n}

Note here that n=1 is for fundamental, n=2 is first harmonic and so on..

⇒ third harmonic will be n=4

Given L=6m, n=4, solving for λ we get:

λ=\frac{(2)*(6)}{4} =3m

Relationship of frequency(f), velocity of sound (c) and wavelength(λ) is:

c=f.λ Or f= \frac{c}{λ}

⇒f=\frac{344}{3}

≈115 Hz
