You're walking in one direction, and then the exact opposite of that direction, so you simply have to subtract the two distances.
200-150=50
You're 50 meters west of where you originally started.
You're west because 200 meters west is greater than 150 meters east. If the distance walked east was greater than the distance walked west, you would've been east of your starting position.

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Mass, M = 1000 kg

Speed, v = 90 km/h = 25 m/s

time, t = 6 sec.

Distance:

${ \tt{distance = speed \times time }} \\ { \tt{distance = 25 \times 6}} \\ { \tt{distance = 150 \: m}}$

Force:

${ \tt{force = mass \times acceleration}} \\ { \bf{but \: for \: acceleration : }} \\ from \: second \: equation \: of \: motion : \\ { \bf{s = ut + \frac{1}{2} {at}^{2} }} \\ \\ { \tt{150 = (0 \times 6) + ( \frac{1}{2} \times a \times {6}^{2} ) }} \\ \\ { \tt{acceleration = 8.33 \: {ms}^{ - 2} }} \\ \\ { \tt{force = 1000 \times 8.33}} \\ { \tt{force = 8333.3 \: newtons}}$

How do you identify short and long term comets

erica [24]

A second important difference between comets coming from the Kuiper Belt and from the Oort cloud is represented by their different characteristic periods.
In fact, short period comets are thought to generate in the Kuiper belt and have rather predictable orbits with short periods (up to 200 years). There are two major families of short period comets: the Jupiter family with periods of less than 20 years and the Halley family with periods form 20 to 200 years. That's short
