Distance is 50 km

Displacement is 10 km

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Distance toward south, x = 25 km

Distance towards west, y = 10 km

Distance towards north, z = 15 km

(a) Total distance, D = ?

Total distance, D = x + y + z

                       D = 25 + 10 + 15

                       D = 50km

(b) Displacement, d = ?

Displacement = final position - initial position

                      = 10 - 0 km

                      = 10km

How is it possible to get three precise but inaccurate measurements of the same volume of water
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
The inaccurate measurements must be similar to the other two measurements (ex; 590, 589, 599), but different from the actual volume of water. (Ex; the actual volume is let say.. 100, but you measured 50, 49, 40)

A sealed box contains a monatomic ideal gas. The number of gas atoms per unit volume is 5.00 * 1020 atoms&gt;cm3, and the averag
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Pressure,P=6×10^3Pa

Explanation:

The gas has an ideal gas behaviour and ideal gas equation

PV=NKT

T= V/N p/K ...eq1

Average transitional kinetic energy Ktr=1.8×10-23J

Ktr=3/2KT

T=2/3Ktr/K....eq2

Equating eq1 and 2

V/N p/K = 2/3Ktr/K

Cancelling K on both sides

P= 2/3N/V( Ktr)

Substituting the value of N/V and dividing by 10^-6 to convert cm^3 to m^3

P = 2/3 (5.0×10^20)/10^-6 × 1.8×10^-23

P= 6 ×10^3Pa

To start an avalanche on a mountain slope, an artillery shell is fired with an initial velocity of 290 m/s at 57.0° above the ho
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

xf = 5.68 × 10³ m  

yf = 8.57 × 10³ m  

Explanation:

given data

vi = 290 m/s

θ = 57.0°

t = 36.0 s

solution

firsa we get here origin (0,0) to where the shell is launched

xi = 0                            yi = 0

xf = ?                            yf = ?

vxi =  vicosθ               vyi = visinθ  

ax = 0                          ay = −9.8 m/s

now we solve x motion: that is

xf = xi + vxi × t + 0.5 × ax × t²     ............1

simplfy it we get

xf = 0 + vicosθ × t + 0

put here value and we get

xf = 0 + (290 m/s) cos(57) (36.0 s)

xf = 5.68 × 10³ m  

and

now we solve for y motion: that is

yf = yi + vyi × t + 0.5 × ay × t ²     ............2

put here value and we get

yf = 0 + (290 m/s) × sin(57) × (36.0 s) + 0.5 × (−9.8 m/s2) × (36.0 s)  ²

yf = 8.57 × 10³ m
