Answer:

a) Total distance travelled = 1.9km + 8.7km + 3.0km = 13.6km

b) Total displacement = -1.9km + 8.7km-3.0km=+3.8km

Total displacement = 3.8km due west

Explanation:

a) Total distance travelled is a scalar quantity it is not affected by the direction it's only concerned with the magnitude.

Total distance travelled = 1.9km + 8.7km + 3.0km = 13.6km

b) Total displacement is a vector quantity it takes into consideration both magnitude and direction.

Taking west as positive and east as negative.

Total displacement = -1.9km + 8.7km-3.0km = +3.8km

Total displacement = 3.8km due west

If the moon moved closer to the earth, how would the gravitational force between them change?.
hichkok12 [17]

If the moon moved closer to the earth, The gravitational force between them will increase.

This can be understood by Newton's law of universal gravitation. This is usually stated as that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

F_{gravitation} = G\frac{M_{1} M_{2}}{r^{2} }

If the moon moved closer to earth, the distance between them will be reduced, and as the force of gravitation is inversely proportional to the distance between the masses, the gravitation force increases.

A sample contains 20 kg of radioactive material. The decay constant of the material is 0.179 per second. If the amount of time t
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

N0 = 20kg (original substance)

decay constant λ = 0.179/sec

time t = 300s

We are to find N(t)

Using the formula;

n(t) = N0e^-λt

Substitute the given values

N(t) = 20e^-(0.179)(300)

N(t) = 20e^(-53.7)

N(t) = 20(4.7885)

N(t) =143.055

To know how much of the original material that is active, we will find N(t)/N0 = 143.055/20 = 7.152

About 7 times the original material is still radioactive

Aneli [31]
<span>The answer would be: b. biosphere, atmosphere, and geosphere

The biosphere is made by the ecological system so the plants should be biosphere. The carbon dioxide is taken by the plant from the air which was the atmosphere. The nutrient is taken by the plant from the soil which is the geosphere.</span>
