Answer:

35 m

0.56 m/s west

Explanation:

A) Total distance is the length of the path taken.

30 m + 5 m = 35 m

B) Velocity is displacement over time. Displacement is the difference between the final position and the initial position.

If west is -x, and east is +x, then:

Δx = -30 m + 5 m

Δx = -25 m

v = Δx / t

v = -25 m / 45 s

v = -0.56 m/s

v = 0.56 m/s west

Why electrons flow in a wire when connected to a battery?

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The metal atoms in the wire can't move, but their outer electrons can. The force pushes those electrons and they move to further parts of the wire, trying to reach the other end. As the electrons move away, new electrons flow into the wire through the battery to take their place.

Which statement describes why scientific notation is useful? It makes very small numbers into whole numbers. It converts fractio

It makes calculations with very large and small numbers easier.

Scientific notation is a system used in order to It makes calculations with very large and small numbers easier. It is useful as it allows very large number that would take a lot of space to write otherwise, and it allows them to be calculated easier. $10^{23}$ for example is a incredible large number, but written in this form is immediately understandable and useful for calculation.
