The total displacement would be 20 meters south

5 0

Answer: 60m

Explanation:

Displacement is defined as the distance covered by a body or object in a specified direction.

If the dog runs 80m northwards i.e +80m since it runs along the positive y direction.

Also the dog returns to its master 20m in the south direction i.e -20m in the negative y direction.

Its total displacement will be +80-20 = 60m

Use the ratio version of Kepler’s third law and the orbital information of Mars to determine Earth’s distance from the Sun. Mars
frez [133]

Answer:

<em>1.49 x </em>10^{11}<em></em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Kepler's third law states that <em>The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of its orbit.</em>

Mathematically, this can be stated as

T^{2} ∝ R^{3}

<em>to remove the proportionality sign we introduce a constant</em>

T^{2} = kR^{3}

k = \frac{T^{2} }{R^{3} }

Where T is the orbital period,

and R is the orbit around the sun.

For mars,

T = 687 days

R = 2.279 x 10^{11}

for mars, constant k will be

k = \frac{687^{2} }{(2.279*10^{11}) ^{3} } = 3.987 x 10^{-29}

For Earth, orbital period T is 365 days, therefore

365^{2} = 3.987 x 10^{-29} x R^{3}

R^{3} = 3.34 x 10^{33}

R =<em> 1.49 x </em>10^{11}<em></em>

Similarities and differences between<br> distance Time graph and velocity time<br> graph?
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Similarity: >>Time is independent variable and such is on the x-axis. ... >>Distance time graph tells you how much distance you have travelled, while velocity time graph tells you your acceleration.  The difference between them is that the velocity-time graph reveals the speed of an object (and whether it is slowing down or speeding up), while the position-time graph describes the motion of an object over a period of time.

Describe the net force lab and explain what the lab demonstrated
Romashka [77]
<span>The net force acting on an object is the sum of all the force acting on it, and the net force of an object is zero. I f the forces acting on it tend to cancel each other. For example you are sit in a chair, the earth's gravity is pulling you down, but the chair is pushing you up with an equal amount of force.</span>
