Let us take east and north as the positive x and y-axes should the motion be plotted in a cartesian plane. Thus, the x value is 45 miles and the y value is 20. The tangent of an angle is equal to the ratio of y to x.

   tanθ = y / x

Substituting,

   tanθ = 20/45 = 0.44

The value of θ is 23.96°.

Answer:

8.  acceleration = \dfrac{d(velocity)}{d(time)}  = 1 unit .

9. acceleration = \dfrac{d(velocity)}{d(time)}  = -1 unit.

10. acceleration = \dfrac{d(velocity)}{d(time)}  = 0 units.

Explanation:

8. i) acceleration = velocity / time

  ii) In this figure velocity = time

  iii) therefore acceleration = \dfrac{d(velocity)}{d(time)} = 1 unit .

9. i) acceleration = velocity / time

  ii) In this figure 4 = m + 5, therefore m = -1

     therefore velocity = (-0.5 \times time) + 5

  iii) therefore acceleration = \dfrac{d(velocity)}{d(time)}  = -1 units.

10.) velocity is constant at 2

     therefore acceleration = \dfrac{d(velocity)}{d(time)}  = 0 units

Which of the following are possible causes of mass extinctions that scientists have identified
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

over harvesting, pollution, introduction of invasive species such as new predators and food competitors

Explanation:

The main cause of mass extinction is Humans cause extinction of a species through overharvesting. The second main  cause is pollution ., introduction of invasive species such as new predators and food competitors, habitat destruction, overhunting and other influences. Another very important cause of mass extinction is the unsustainable human population growth.

The five mass extinction events are

Ordovician Mass Extinction

Devonian Mass Extinction

 Permian Mass Extinction

Triassic -Jurassic Mass Extinction

and Cretaceous -Tertiary (or the K-T) Mass Extinction.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

1.) The reaction is at dynamic equilibrium.

A: Nitrogen and hydrogen combine at the same rate that ammonia breaks down.

2.) Which statement about the reaction is necessarily correct?

A: Both calcium carbonate and sodium carbonate are being produced.

3.) Both calcium carbonate and sodium carbonate are being produced.

A: The reaction is reversible.

4.) What is the fastest motion that can be measured in any frame of reference?

A: 300,000 km/s

5.) Two people are on a train that is moving at 10 m/s north. They are walking 1 m/s south relative to the train. Relative to the ground, their motion is 9 m/s north.

Why are we able to use these motions to describe the motion relative to the ground?

A: The people are moving much slower than the speed of light so the ground acts as a frame of reference.
