5 0

Explanation:

The difference between final and initial position of an object is called its displacement. Its formula is given by :

\text{displacement}=\text{final position}-\text{initial position}

It is equal to the shortest path covered by it. It is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction.

Calculate the kinetic energy in joules of a 10g bullet moving at 300 m/s
mina [271]
Given: Mass m= 10 g   convert to Kg  m = 0.01 Kg        Velocity  V = 300 m/s

Required: Kinetic energy = K.E = 1/2 mV²

K.E = 1/2 (0.01 Kg)(300 m/s)²

K.E = 450 J

How do forces help shape the earth? (please help quickly)
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Explanation: The Earth's surface is constantly changing through forces in nature.

A condition where warmer air lies above cooler air, limiting vertical circulation and trapping pollutants near the surface, is.
xxMikexx [17]

Answer: Temperature inversion

Explanation: Temperature inversion is a reverse of the normal temperature flow or distribution of the air,it usually causes temperature to rise as altitude increase towards the troposphere instead of reduction of temperature.

Temperature inversion is caused when warm,dense air flow above cold,less dense air. Temperature inversion is hazardous to man as it traps pollutants close to the Earth surface,this condition limits vertical circulation.

Which of these should you always do at the end of a calculation
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Reverse check the answer

Explanation:

I believe it is very important that once someone is done with any calculation, the person ought to go over the calculations again. And even, recheck the answer in inverted form.

This is so because while doing the calculations, we can possibly make errors that we won't notice until after submission. Knowing 2 * 3 = 6, but writing 2 * 3 = 5 in the course of calculations can happen to anybody. So therefore, cross checking and reverse checking is needed
