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

When using science to investigate physical phenomena, which characteristic of the event must exist?
Vesna [10]

The correct answer is B. Measurable

Explanation:

The use of science to investigate a phenomenon implies using measurements and observations to better understand a phenomenon or test a hypothesis. Moreover, science focuses on natural phenomena that can be objectively studied through measurement instruments such as a thermometer, balance, hydrometer, etc.

In this context, for a phenomenon to be studied by science this needs to be measurable because the use of precise instruments as wells as numbers allow scientist to analyze and understand a phenomenon. Moreover, phenomena that depend on personal perspectives and cannot be measure is considered as non-scientific.

A 60 g ball of clay is thrown horizontally at 40 m/s toward a 1.5 kg block sitting at rest on a frictionless surface. the clay h
Bingel [31]
The solution for this problem is:
Let u denote speed. 

Equating momentum before and after collision: 
= 0.060 * 40 = (1.5 + 0.060) u 
= 2.4 = 1.56 u
= 2.4 / 1.56 = 1.56 u / 1.56
= 1.6 m / s is the answer for this question. This is the speed after the collision.
