some antarctic explorers heading due south toward the pole travel 50. km during the first day. A sudden snow storm slows their p

rogress and they move only 30. km in the second day. With plenty of rest they travel the final 65 km the last day and reach the pole.What was the explorers' displacement?

Answer:

<h2> 145km</h2>

Explanation:

The displacement is a vector quantity, it tells how far away from a point a distance or a destination is

given that the distance covered are

50. km, 30. km, and 65 km

the displacement is expressed as

= 50+30+65

=145km

We actually performed straight addition because in all the movement the antarctic explorers did not record any deviation from the initial direction, hence they maintained a linear movement from the beginning to the end

natita [175]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the work done on the cart is NET work

Then the work will result in an increase in kinetic energy

KE₀ + W = KE₁

½mv₀² + W = ½mv₁²

½(0.80)(0.61²) + 0.91 = ½(0.80)v₁²

v₁ = 1.626991...

v₁ = 1.6 m/s

Hello!
34kurt
Iodine-131 has a half life of 8 days, so half of it is gone every 8 days.
10 grams of iodine-131 is left for 24 days.
At 8 days: 10/2=5 grams left
At 16 days: 5/2=2.5 grams left
At 24 days: 2.5/2=1.25 grams left.
**
Your mistake is that you stopped at 16 days.

Why is tornadoes hitting the east coast of the USA?
OLga [1]

Answer:

The outbreak of tornadoes that tore across the Gulf and the East Coast Tuesday and Wednesday was unusual for two reasons. For one thing, the severe weather encompassed a significant swath of the country. For another, winter is the least likely time for tornadic thunderstorms.

Explanation:

The outbreak of tornadoes that tore across the Gulf and the East Coast Tuesday and Wednesday was unusual for two reasons. For one thing, the severe weather encompassed a significant swath of the country. For another, winter is the least likely time for tornadic thunderstorms.

And yet tornadoes are an expected part of life in the United States—especially in the multi-state area known as Tornado Alley. (Florida, too, sees a disproportionately high number of tornadoes, because of its frequent thunderstorms.) The United States gets more tornadoes, by far, than any other place on the planet. It averages about 1,250 twisters a year. Canada, which sees about 100 tornadoes per year, is a “distant second,” according to the National Centers for Environmental Information.
