The north and west components of this displacement are 9.19 km and -7.71 km respectively.

<h3>North component of the displacement</h3>

The north component of the displacement is calculated as follows;

Dy = D sinθ

Dy = 12 km x sin50

Dy = 9.19 km

<h3>West component of the displacement</h3>

Dx = D x cosθ

Dx = - 12 km x cos(50)

Dx = -7.71 km

Aleksandr-060686 [28]
Assuming your two trolleys stick together after the collision, your momentum equation would be M1V1+M2V2=(M1+M2)V3 and since V2 is 0, then 2x2=(2+2)V3, thereore the final velocity would be 1, wich would make the final momentum 4

A quantity of gas is contained in a sealed container of fixed volume. The temperature of the
Alchen [17]

Answer:

If the Kelvin temperature of a gas is increased, the volume of the gas increases. This can be understood by imagining the particles of gas in the container moving with a greater energy when the temperature is increased.

Explanation:

If you heat a gas you give the molecules more energy so they move faster. This means more impacts on the walls of the container and an increase in the pressure. Conversely if you cool the molecules down they will slow and the pressure will be decreased.

To calculate a change in pressure or temperature using Gay Lussac's Law.

Olin [163]

Answer:

t = 0.196 s

Explanation:

The speed of a pulse is determined by the characteristics of the medium, its density and its resistance to stress, as long as these remain the speed will be constant for which we can use the kinetic expressions of the uniform movement

          v = x / t

          t = x / v

calculate

          t = 2/102

          t = 0.196 s
