eastward.
a
From this motion what is the distance covered
b
What is the magnitude and direction of the displacement
Answer:
a

b
Magnitude
Direction
West
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The first distance covered westward is ![d_w_1 = 18 \ m /tex] The first distance covered eastward is [tex]d_e1 = 12 \ m /tex] The second distance covered westward is [tex]d_w_2 = 28 \ m /tex] The second distance covered eastward is [tex]d_e2 = 14 \ m /tex] Generally the distance covered is mathematically represented as [tex]D = d_w1 + d_w2 + d_e1 + d_e2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=d_w_1%20%20%3D%20%2018%20%5C%20%20m%20%2Ftex%5D%3C%2Fp%3E%3Cp%3E%20%20%20%20%20The%20%20first%20distance%20covered%20eastward%20is%20%5Btex%5Dd_e1%20%3D%20%2012%20%5C%20%20m%20%2Ftex%5D%3C%2Fp%3E%3Cp%3E%20%20%20%20%20%20The%20second%20distance%20covered%20westward%20is%20%5Btex%5Dd_w_2%20%20%3D%20%2028%20%5C%20%20m%20%2Ftex%5D%3C%2Fp%3E%3Cp%3E%20%20%20%20%20%20The%20%20second%20distance%20covered%20eastward%20is%20%5Btex%5Dd_e2%20%3D%20%2014%20%5C%20%20m%20%2Ftex%5D%3C%2Fp%3E%3Cp%3E%20%20%20%3C%2Fp%3E%3Cp%3EGenerally%20the%20distance%20covered%20is%20mathematically%20represented%20as%20%3C%2Fp%3E%3Cp%3E%20%20%20%20%20%20%5Btex%5DD%20%3D%20%20d_w1%20%2B%20d_w2%20%2B%20d_e1%20%2B%20d_e2)

=> 
For the second question eastward is in the direction of the positive x-axis so it would be positive and westward is in the direction of the negative x-axis so it would be negative
The magnitude of the displacement is

=>
=>
The direction is west
This is known as overextension! (the correct answer is B.)
Answer:
It reveals that light is a wave
Explanation:
Diffraction is the property of a wave in which there is a bending of the wave about the corners of an obstacle or aperture into the geometrical shadow of the obstacle or aperture.
This simply implies that a wave bends or spreads out when it passes through openings. Since the light diffracts through small slits and diffraction has been shown to occur in water waves and sound waves, this property of diffraction can only be characteristic of a wave and thus, this evidence reveals that light is a wave.
Answer:
Saturated zone is area below the water table in which the soil is completely saturated with groundwater.
Explanation:
The saturated zone lies below the ground. It is mainly the lower zone of rock along with the water table where pore spaces are completely filled with water. Even the saturated zone is sometimes separated into 2 subzones: the phreatic zone and the capillary fringe.
The area where pores spaces are not saturated with water is also unsaturated zone. Localized saturated zones can occur within the unsaturated zone. The unsaturated zone lies above the groundwater table.
