<u>Answer: </u>

  Distance traveled = 70 meters

  Displacement = 36.06 meters

<u>Explanation: </u>

 Let north be positive Y and east be positive X

 10 meters north, displacement = 10 j meters

 20 meters west, displacement = -20 i meters

 40 meters south, displacement = -40 j meters

 Total displacement = (10 j - 20 i – 40 j) meters = (- 20 i - 30 j) meters

 Magnitude of displacement = \sqrt{20^2+30^2}=\sqrt{1300}= 36.06 meters

 Distance traveled = 10+20+40 = 70 meters

The x vector component of a displacement vector has a magnitude of 86.2 m and points along the negative x axis. The y vector com
Flauer [41]

Answer:

(a) Magnitude of Vector = 207.73 m

(b) Direction = 65.48°

Explanation:

(a)

The formula to find out the magnitude of a resultant vector with the help of its x and y components is given as follows:

Magnitude\ of\ Vector = \sqrt{d_{x}^{2} + d_{y}^{2}} = \sqrt{(86.2\ m)^{2} + (189\ m)^{2}}\\\\

<u>Magnitude of Vector = 207.73 m</u>

(b)

For the direction of the vector we have the formula:

Direction = tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})\\\\Direction = tan^{-1}(\frac{189\ m}{86.2\ m})\\\\

<u>Direction = 65.48°</u>

What distance separates Earth and the Sun? A 300,000 km per second B Eight light-minutes C 149 million light-seconds D One light
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

B Eight light-minutes

Explanation:

In the case when the distance separated earth and the sun so here we orbit the sun for a 150 million km distance and the light moves would be 300,000 kilometers per second

Now divide this

= 150 million ÷ 300,000 kilometers per second

= 500 seconds

This 500 seconds represent 8 minutes and 20 seconds

Hence, option B is correct

A student wearing frictionless in-line skates on a horizontal surface is pushed by a friend with a constant force of 47 N. How f
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

7.53 m

Explanation:

Force, F = 47 N

initial velocity, u = 0

Final kinetic energy, Kf = 354 J

Let the distance traveled by the student is s.

According to the work energy theorem,

Work done by all forces = Change in kinetic energy

Force x distance = final kinetic energy - initial kinetic energy

F x s = kf - ki

47 x s = 354

s = 7.53 m

When an oxygen atom forms an ion, it gains two electrons. What is the electrical charge of the oxygen ion?
Damm [24]
The oxygen atom, before it gains these two electrons, has a neutral charge, meaning that it has as many protons as electrons. After it gains 2 electrons, it has 2 more electrons than protons. Each electron has a charge of -1, so the whole molecule will  have a charge of -2. The correct answer is a)!
