Draw an x y axis

3 miles west is 3 miles to the left, -3
4 miles south is 4 miles down, -4

connect the the point to the origin, that side is what you are looking for 
that side is also hypotenus

using Pythagorean theorem

sqrt(-4^2 + 3^2)
sqrt(25)
5 

your displacement is 5

Determine a submarines acceleration if it's initial velocity is 9.0 m/s and it travels 1.54 km in 2 min
julia-pushkina [17]
acceleration=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\\\\ \Delta t=2min=120s\\\\s=1,54km=1540m\\\\
acceleration=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{\Delta t}\\\\
\Delta v=\frac{s}{t}\\
v_{f}-v_{i}=\frac{s}{t}\\
v_{f}=\frac{1540}{120}+9=21,83\frac{m}{s}\\\\
accleration=\frac{21,83-9}{120}=\frac{12,83}{120}=\boxed{0,107\frac{m}{s}}

A 0.50 kilogram ball is held at a height of 20 meters. What is the kinetic energy of the ball when it reaches halfway after bein
Margarita [4]
Potential energy at any point is (M G H). On the way down, only H changes. So halfway down, half of the potential energy remains, and the other half has turned to kinetic energy. Half of the (M G H) it had at the tpp is (0.5 x 9.8 x 10) = 49 joules.

A baseball is thrown a velocity of 20 m/s. It takes the 20 kg ball 10 seconds 5 points
liberstina [14]

Answer: 40 Newton

Explanation:

Mass of baseball = 20 kg

Velocity of baseball = 20 m/s.

Time taken for throwing = 10 seconds

Since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit time

i.e Acceleration = velocity / time taken

Acceleration = (20 m/s / 10seconds)

Acceleration = 2m/s^2

Now, force required to throw the baseball is a product of mass and acceleration

i.e Force = Mass x acceleration

Force = 20 kg x 2m/s^2

Force = 40Newton

Thus, 40 newton of force is required to throw baseball to reach the plate

What make molecules​
UNO [17]

Answer:

Molecules are made up of atoms that are held together by chemical bonds. These bonds form as a result of the sharing or exchange of electrons among atoms. The atoms of certain elements readily bond with other atoms to form molecules. ... The element helium is a one-atom molecule. I hope this helps :)
