I think the logical question here is to either find the distance or the displacement. They differ in such a way that distance is a scalar quantity that does not focus on the direction. Displacement is a vector quantity that covers the distance from the starting point to end point. Because it travels only in one direction (to the east), in this condition, distance is equal to displacement.

Distance =  Displacement = 3,000 m + 1,500 m = 4,500 m

EM waves consist of changing electric and magnetic fields moving perpendicular with respect to each other. What kind of wave is
Serhud [2]

Answer:

Transverse

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves don't depend on the medium they travel through like a mechanical wave does, so they aren't mechanical. They don't oscillate (move back in forth) in the direction they travel either, ruling out compressional and longitudinal waves.

That leaves tranverse waves, the ones we're most used to, since they look very "wavelike," with smooth peaks and valleys. Electromagnic waves behave like these, oscillating in a plane perpendicular to the direction they're traveling in.

Estimate the mass of the Great Pyramid of Giza, in tons. You make may use of the following information: the Great Pyramid is in
postnew [5]

Answer:

6005803.83105 short tons

Explanation:

The definition of density is \rho = \frac{m}{V}, and the volume of a pyramid is (confusingly written on the proposal) V=\frac{1}{3} Ah, so we can write:

m=\rho V=\rho V \frac{1}{3} Ah=\rho V \frac{1}{3} s^2h

Where s is the side of the base, being s^2 the area of that square.

We will write everything in S.I., and the best way to convert units is using conversion factors, for example, since 1m=100cm, we know that \frac{1m}{100cm}=1, and we can use this factor to convert anything written in cm to anything written in m. Example:

500cm=500cm\frac{1m}{100cm}=5m

Here we just multiplied 500cm by something that is equal to 1 (as every conversion factor must), so <em>it's not doing anything but changing the units</em>.

We can use this tool like this:

2.1\frac{g}{cm^3}=2.1\frac{g}{cm^3}(\frac{1Kg}{1000g})(\frac{100cm}{1m})^3=2100Kg/m^3

Where we have used the fact that 1^3=1 (<u>we can elevate any conversion factor to any number and they still will be 1</u>) and where we have placed strategically what is the numerator and what in the denominator so the units we don't want cancel out and the units we want appear.

Substituting then our values:

m=\rho V \frac{1}{3} s^2h=(2100Kg/m^3)\frac{1}{3} (230.34m)^2(146.7m)=5448373586.96Kg

And now we will convert to short tons using two conversion factors at the same time:

m=5448373586.96\ Kg(\frac{1\ lb}{0.45359237\ Kg})(\frac{1\ short\ ton}{2000\ lb} )=6005803.83105\ short \ tons

Remember, their value is 1, and we place the units to cancel the ones we don't want and keep the ones we want, here Kg cancel out, and lb cancel out, leaving the short tones.

What do astronomers mean by light pollution?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

a. Light pollution refers to light used for human activities that brightens the sky and hinders astronomical observations.

Explanation:

Light pollution is due to the excessive and misdirected use of artificial light. Light bulbs are often design in an incorrect way, since a great part of its light is not completely directed to the ground and an important percentage is emitted to the sky in where will be scattered and reflected back to ground by the particles in the atmosphere. That brings as an effect a sky glow, therefore the visibility of astronomical objects will be extremely reduce.  

Hence, professional astronomical research and amateur observations will be affected. Light pollution has a negative impact on bird migration at night and in the health of difference species, humans also.
