Dexter uses a compass to walk 140m due east. What is his distance and displacement?

Physics
1 answer:
solmaris [256]3 years ago
3 0
The distance is 140 m and the displacement is 140 m E. Displacement can change though. For example, if Dexter walked 140 m east then walked 40 meters west the displacement would be 100 m E. Displacement is just how far away an object is from the start.

A closed system’s internal energy changes by 178 J as a result of being heated with 658 J of energy. The energy used to do work
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

480J

Explanation:

Using the formula:

Delta U = Q - W

Q:Heat (J)

Delta U: Changes in internal Energy (J)

W:Work (J)

We can plug in the give numbers, Q and W.

Delta U = 658J - 178J = 480J

Answer:

The Forces of Flight

At any given time, there are four forces acting upon an aircraft.  

These forces are lift, weight (or gravity), drag and thrust. Lift is  

the key aerodynamic force that keeps objects in the air. It is the  

force that opposes weight; thus, lift helps to keep an aircraft in  

the air. Weight is the force that works vertically by pulling all  

objects, including aircraft, toward the center of the Earth. In order  

to fly an aircraft, something (lift) needs to press it in the opposite  

direction of gravity. The weight of an object controls how strong  

the pressure (lift) will need to be. Lift is that pressure. Drag is a  

mechanical force generated by the interaction and contract of a  

solid body, such as an airplane, with a fluid (liquid or gas). Finally,  

the thrust is the force that is generated by the engines of an  

aircraft in order for the aircraft to move forward.

What describes how fast an object is moving and in what direction
Mashcka [7]

Speed is a description of how fast an object moves; velocity is how fast and in what direction it moves. In physics, velocity is speed in a given direction. When we say a car travels at 60 km/h, we are specifying its speed.
