Let's choose east as positive x-direction and south as positive y-direction. We can resolve the two displacement along these two axes:
- Displacement 1 (3.5 km, south of west
- Displacement 2 (2.7 km, east of south
So, the total components on the two directions are
And the magnitude of the hiker's resultant displacement is
E the temperature of a substance. Water has a very high specific heat. That means it needs to absorb a lot of energy before its temperature changes. Sand , on the other hand, have lower specific heats. This means that their temperatures change more quickly. When the summer sun shines down on them, they quickly become hot.
Light speed is the speed at which light can travel in a "vacuum" (space for example).
The speed of light is constant and is exactly: 299,792,458 meters per second
ONLY IN A VACUUM!!
The speed of light changes when it goes through different mediums (such as from space to Earth, light travels slower in Earth).
Good luck!
