Part A)

Distance is given as sum of total path length

So here as we are given that car drives 40 miles East and 30 miles West

So here the total path length is

Distance = 40 miles + 30 miles

distance = 70 miles

Part B)

Displacement is given as straight line distance between initial and final position

So here we can see that

d_1 = 40 miles East

d_2 = 30 miles West

Now the total displacement will be

d = d_1 - d_2 = 40 - 30 = 10 miles

<u><em>so the displacement will be 10 miles East</em></u>

What changes might you expect to see in the earth's general circulation if the earth's rotation were in the opposite direction?
Nonamiya [84]
With the earth’s current rotation, the major pressure systems of the general circulation can be correlated with the increase and decrease of air. When there is a considerable amount of air, precipitation will become present on a large scale. When there is less air, then there is an increase in chances of an area becoming dry. According to our textbook, a decrease in air on the eastern margin (west coast) creates a subsidence inversion. This causes dry weather. On the western margin (east coast) the humidity in the air rises, condenses and creates rain fall. So if the earth were to rotate in the opposite direction, we could possibly expect weather on the west coast to produce more rain and the weather on the east coastto become dry.
