As these are distances created by moving in a straight line, using a trigonometric analysis can solve the missing single straight-line displacement. Looking at the 48m and 12m movements as legs of a triangle, obtaining the hypotenuse using the pythagorean theorem will yield us the correct answer.
This is shown below:

c^2 = 48^2 + 12^2
c = sqrt(2304 + 144)
c = sqrt(2448)
c = 49.48 m

To obtain the angle at which Anthony walks 49.48, we obtain the arc tangent of (12/48). This is shown below:

arc tan (12/48) =14.04 degrees.

Therefore, Anthony could have walked 49.48 m towards the S 14.04 W direction.

What is dark energy?
olga2289 [7]

Explanation:

Dark Energy. Dark Energy is a hypothetical form of energy that exerts a negative, repulsive pressure, behaving like the opposite of gravity. It has been hypothesised to account for the observational properties of distant type Ia supernovae, which show the universe going through an accelerated period of expansion

Identify three situations in which convection occurs
hodyreva [135]

There are three types of heat conduction through substances. These are named as conduction,convection and radiation .here we have been given convection.

Convection is the type of mode of conduction of heat in which heat will flow though a liquid and gases due to the direct physical movement of particles.In this process the hotter particles will go upward as they become lighter and cooler,heavier particles come downward which after being heated up go upward .Hence a convectional current is formed for which whole of the liquid or gas gets heated.

There are different life examples of convection.

One may take an simple example of water in a container.The water molecules which are present bottom part of the container  will be heated up first and go upward.The upper particles will come downward and they will constitute a convectional current.

Another life example is the flow of wind from one region to another region.the air at hotter region will become lighter and goes upward and the wind starts flowing from cold region region  in order to occupy the vacant space.

Another example is the hot air balloon rising up..It is also another example of convection of heat

You are given a vector in the xy plane that has a magnitude of 84.0 units and a y-component of -67.0 units.
melomori [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a)Magnitude = \sqrt{(x1-y2)^{2}  + (x1-x2)^{2} }

84=\sqrt{(0- (-67))^{2}  + (x-0)^{2} }

x= +50.67 or -50.67 units

b) We are given that the resultant is entirely in the -ve x direction which means that the y-component of the resultant is 0; It means that the y-component of the next vector = -ve of the y component of the initial vector i.e 67.

To make the magnitude 80 units in the negative x direction where the y component is 0, the x component must be -130.67(-50.67 - 80) as the x component is + 50.67units.

Magnitude = \sqrt{(0- (67))^{2}  + (-130.67)^{2} } = 146.85 units

c) The direction vector = 67/146.85 i  - 130.67/146.85 j where i corresponds to the vector in y direction and j corresponds to the vector in x direction. Or this vector is at an angle of 180 - Tan^{-1}(67/130.67)degrees i.e 152.85 degrees from the +ve x-axis.
