Explanation:

Displacement = Shortest path Travelled from starting point to final point..

Displacement formula = Final position - Initial position

= 7km - 3km

= 4km

^Displacement is 4km

If this answer helps you plz mark as brainlist..

"Displacement" is the straight-line distance and direction between the start-point and the end-point, regardless of what route was taken to get there.

If you draw a picture of how this car traveled, you'll see that it drove along two legs of a right triangle. I'm guessing the driver probably decided to stay on the streets, instead of driving the STRAIGHT line across people's lawns to get to the grocery store. if a BIRD wanted to make the same trip, it would just fly in a straight line, straight over houses and yards.

The bird would fly along the hypotenuse of the right triangle. The distance would be √(3² + 4²).

That's √(9 + 16), which is √(25), and that's 5 km .

'Displacement' is a vector, and it also needs a direction.

After driving 3km north and 4km west, you are 5km roughly Northwest of where you started from. (actually 53.1° west of north)

The car's displacement is 5 km , 53.1° west of north,

or 5 km at an azimuth of 306.9° .

Ksp = [Ba⁺²][SO₄⁻²]

[Ba⁺²] = [SO₄⁻²] for barium sulfate
Thus,
Ksp = (1 x 10⁻⁵)²
Ksp = 1 x 10⁻¹⁰

The answer would be 46.482 because you multiply 18.3 by 2.54 because for every inch you get 2.54 centimeters

Let the height where we are trapped is H

now to find the time to reach the key at the bottom is given as

$y = v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

now we have

$H = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}}$

now if the speed of sound is considered to be 340 m/s then time taken by the sound to reach at the top is given as

$t = \frac{H}{340}$

now the total time is given as

$\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}} + \frac{H}{340} = 3.27$

now by solving above equation we have

H = 48 m

now height of one floor is 3 m

so our position must be

$N = \frac{48}{3} = 16 th \:floor$

Answer:

Asteroids are objects made of clay and silicate that orbit the sun but are too small to be considered planets.

Most asteroids revolve around the sun in an orbit between those of Mars and Jupiter.

They form a wide band called the Asteroid belt.

Other asteroids have orbits that cross Earth’s orbit. These asteroids are called Earth-crossers.

Asteroids probably consist of matter that never agglomerated into a planet when the solar system was forming.

The comet’s core is composed of ice and dust.

Comets heat up and begin to change from a solid to a gas as they approach the sun.

The matter surrounding a comet’s core is vaporized and forms a very bright halo of ice or dust not sure, and an enormous cloud of dust or gasses not sure envelopes the head of the comet.

Calculate 2 x 10^-3cm ÷ 2.5 x 10^4cm

Mamont248 [21]

Here is your answer:

First find the notations:

2×10^-3
=0002
And...
2.5×10^4=25000

Then divide:

0002÷25000=8E-9

Your answer:
=8 x 10-8
