A 150m race is run on a 300m circular track of circumference. Runners start running from the north and turn west until reaching the south. What is the magnitude of the displacement made by the runners?

95.5 m

Explanation:

The displacement is the position of the ending point relative to the starting point.

In this case, the magnitude of the displacement is the diameter of the circular track.

d = 300 m / π

d ≈ 95.5 m

two charges are fixed in place on the x-axis as shown. the charge at x = 0 is negative and has magnitude q = 2 μcoulombs (1 μcoulomb = 10-6 coulombs). the charge at x = d, (d = +12 cm), is positive and has magnitude q = 4 μcoulombs. find a point x = xo along the x-axis at which the electric field is zero.

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
