This is the same question as the one previously but with more details, so I will just use my previous answer.

1800 to 1820 is 20 minutes.1830 to 1838 is 8 minutes.1840 to 1905 is 25 minutes.
The total time travelled is 20+8+25 = 53 minutes = 3180 seconds.
The distance between Glasgow and Edinburgh is 28 + 12 + 34 = 74 km = 74000 m.

So, the average speed is 74000m/3180s = 23.27 m/s (4 s.f.)

Think about your displacement at three different times throughout your day and compare it with e distance you traveled. (6 point

Here, we are asked to calculate the total distance and displacement for three different times.

Before solving the question, first we have to understand the distance and displacement.

Displacement is the minimum distance travelled between two points. Hence, it is a vector quantity. On the other hand, the distance travelled is a scalar quantity.

The total displacement will be calculated by vector addition while total distance will follow algebraic addition.

Let us consider Ram travelled 3 km towards north from his home to office in 1 hour. The highway is straight. He reached at his office and saw that his office was closed. So, he came back. He stopped at shop for 2 minutes which was 2 km away from his office. Then he started his journey and reached him home.

Let his first distance travelled from home to office is $s_{1} =\ 3\ km$

Here, the displacement is also the same in magnitude with distance travelled and it is directed towards north.

The distance travelled by Ram from office to the shop $s_{2} =2\ km$

Here, the displacement is 2 km towards south.

The distance travelled by Ram from the shop to the office $s_{3} =\ 1 \ k m$

Here, the displacement is 1 km towards south.

Here, the total distance travelled $[s]\ =\ s_{1} +s_{2} +s_{3}$

$=3\ km+2\ km+1\ km$

$=6\ km$

Now we have to calculate the total displacement. Here, the total displacement is zero.

It is because the initial and final points of his journey is same.

The time it will take him to fall can be found from:-3m = -(g*t^2)/2
Find that time, it's the time the horse will travel horizontal while the cowboy is falling.So the horizontal distance away is 10 m/s * t

What is the process that changes smaller atoms into larger ones in a star

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Nuclear fusion

Explanation:

In fusion, many nuclei (the centers of atoms) combine together to make a larger one (which is a different element). ... A star's mass determines what other type of nucleosynthesis occurs in its core (or during explosive changes in its life cycle).
