The displacement of Edward in the westerly direction is determined as 338.32 km.

<h3>What is displacement of Edward?</h3>

The displacement of Edward can be determined from different methods of vector addition. The method applied here is triangular method.

The angle between the 200 km north west and 150 km west = 60 + 90 = 150⁰

The displacement is the side of the triangle facing 150⁰ = R

R² = a² + b² - 2abcosR

R² = 150² + 200²  - (2x 150 x 200)xcos(150)

R² = 62,500 - (-51,961.52)

R² = 114,461.52

R = 338.32 km

Elements heavier than hydrogen are formed when light elements undergo nuclear fusion. Fusion takes place within stars at tempera
LuckyWell [14K]
B is the best answer.  Once the particles are sufficiently close, the strong nuclear force becomes stronger than the Coulomb repulsion and they are pulled together.  This results in bound particles that have a binding energy that can be retrieved of you can get the particles far enough away from one another after binding, but this requires large and unstable nuclei (beyond lead on the table)  These elements are referred to as radioactive, because they are prone to decaying

Why do you think the government of ancient Rome was unfair?
Olenka [21]

Western Civilization is forever indebted to the people of ancient Greece and Rome. Among the numerous contributions these societies made are in the fields of art, literature and philosophy; however, perhaps their greatest gift to future generations was the modern perception of government. The contemporary idea of democracy, while borne out of the political struggles in the city of Athens, came to fruition in the Roman Republic, surviving, despite the constant interference of the emperor, through the Roman Empire. Although the present definition of democracy has changed considerably, one must still recognize its early evolution in that eternal city, Rome.

From Monarchy to Representation

The Roman Republic emerged out of what one historian called “the ashes of the monarchy.”  Years underneath the unyielding yoke of a king taught the people of Rome that they had to safeguard against the rule, and possible oppression, of one individual. The real authority or imperium of the republic, and later empire, was to be divided among three basic elements - elected non-hereditary magistrates, a Senate to advise and consent, and popular assemblies.  Unfortunately for many people in Rome, in the early stages of the Republic, power lay solely in the hands of the elite, the old landowning families or patricians. The remainder and largest share of the city’s population - the plebeians - had few if any rights. This unequal division of power would not last very long.

you nose out another runner to win 100.000 m dash. if your total time for the race was 13.800 s and you aced out the other runne
sammy [17]

Your average speed was

(100 m) / (13.8 s) = 7.25 m/s .

If you finished 0.001s ahead of him, then at your average speed, that corresponds to

(7.25 m/s) x (0.001 s) = 0.00725 m

That's 7.25 millimeters ... about 0.28 of an inch !

NOTE:. I think this is only valid if your speed was a constant ~7.25 m/s all the way.
