Explanation:

The attached image shows the path followed by an airplane that is trying to land. From the figure, it can be seen that initially, its position was 200 m due east, then 150 m due south, 200 m due west, 250 m due south.

(a) The total path covered during its entire journey is called distance.

D = 200 m+150 m+200 m+250 m

D = 800 m

(b) The shortest path covered by an object is called displacement of an object. The shortest path covered is shown by red color. It means that displacement is (150+250) m = 400 m

(c) It is clear from the figure that, the Airplane's displacement is in the south direction.

Which of these will cause the highest tides? A. when the Sun, Moon and Earth are in a straight line B. when all of the planets a
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

A. when the Sun, Moon and Earth are in a straight line

Explanation:

The highest tide is formed when the sun, moon, and also the earth are in alignment. This high tide is known as spring tides.

Spring tides happen when we have a new moon or a full moon. With the earth, sun and moon aligning. We have lunar and solar tide forming a reinforcement with each other causing high tides or extreme tides. we have collectively, their gravitational pull on water of the earth to become stronger

Of the solar radiation entering the atmosphere, about ___% reaches the surface directly as direct radiation.
strojnjashka [21]
Of the solar radiation entering the atmosphere, about 22.5% reaches the surface directly as direct radiation and is being absorbed. Thirty five percent of it is reflected back to the space. While 10.5% and 14.5% are scattered to the earth from the blue sky and from clouds, respectively. Also, 17.5 percent was being absorbed by the atmosphere. Thus leaving only 22.5% to be given directly to the Earth's surface. Also, another factor of this low value would be the transparency of the atmosphere. The atmosphere of the Earth has only an effective transparent to radiation from the sun of about .34 to .7 micrometer.

The same net force is applied to two bodies. The first body acquires half of the acceleration of the second body. What is the re
Yanka [14]

The mass of the first body is double the mass of the second body.

This all revolves around Newtons 2nd law of motion that states F=m*a.

If we understand that body one has the same force applied but half of the acceleration than body two, we can easily understand that it has to do something with the objects mass. This is because mass and acceleration in newtons 2nd law are inversely proportional. This means if and objects force stays the same, but it’s mass doubles, then the acceleration must be half its original value. And if the acceleration doubles and the force stays constant than the mass must have halved from its original value. It sounds quite complicated but it’s very simple. Hopefully this helps!!!
