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

Which change is an example of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy?.
labwork [276]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is energy an object has because of its motion. A ball held in the air, for example, has gravitational potential energy. If released, as the ball moves faster and faster toward the ground, the force of gravity will transfer the potential energy to kinetic energy.

A 6 kg bowling ball is accelerated at a rate of 2.3 m/s² down the lane. How much force was necessary to produce this acceleratio
ira [324]
According to Newton's 2nd law of motion:
F = m * a where F is the force applied in Newtons, m is the mass of the object in kg, and a is the acceleration of the object in m/s^{2}.
Therefore the force applied in this situation is simply:
F = 6 kg * 2.3 m/s^{2} = 13.8 N
Hope this helps!

faust18 [17]
These types include gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet, infrared, microwaves and radio waves. Together with visible light, all these types of radiation make up what we call the electromagnetic spectrum - the complete spectrum of radiation.
