<h2>Displacement along west = 3612 m</h2><h2>Displacement along north = 4633.50 m</h2>

Explanation:

Let east be positive x axis and north be positive y axis

Velocity of boat = 2.8 m/s in a direction 52° north of west.

Velocity, v = -2.8 cos 52 i + 2.8 sin 52 j = -1.72 i + 2.21 j m/s

Time taken = 35 min = 35 x 60 = 2100 s

Displacement = Velocity x Time

Displacement =  (-1.72 i + 2.21 j)  x 2100

Displacement =  -3612 i + 4633.50 j m

Displacement along west = 3612 m

Displacement along north = 4633.50 m

How is light reflected from a prism​
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

White light entering a prism is bent, or refracted, and the light separates into its constituent wavelengths. Each wavelength of light has a different colour and bends at a different angle. The colours of white light always emerge through a prism in the same order—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

Identify how the energy flows up through the ecosystem. Describe how decomposers help to cycle matter in an ecosystem and their
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Decomposers are organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms, they carry out decomposition, a process possible by only certain kingdoms, such as fungi. Like herbivores and predators, decomposers are heterotrophic, meaning that they use organic substrates to get their energy, carbon and nutrients for growth and development. While the terms decomposer and detritivore are often interchangeably used, detritivores ingest and digest dead matter internally, while decomposers directly absorb nutrients through external chemical and biological processes. Thus, invertebrates such as earthworms, woodlice, and sea cucumbers are technically detritivores, not decomposers, since they must ingest nutrients - they are unable to absorb them externally.
