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

1 answer:

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.

Answer:

g = 8.61 m/s²

Explanation:

distance of the International Space Station form earth is 200 Km

mass of the object = 1 Kg

acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8 m/s²

mass of earth = 5.972 x 10²⁴ Kg

acceleration due to gravity = ?

r = 6400 + 200 = 6800 Km = 6.8 x 10⁶ n

using formula

$g = \dfrac{GM}{r^2}$

$g = \dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.972\times 10^24}{(6.8\times 10^6)^2}$

g = 8.61 m/s²

A typical ceiling fan running at high speed has an airflow of about 1.85 ✕ 103 ft3/min, meaning that about 1.85 ✕ 103 cubic feet

densk [106]

Answer:

0.8726 $m^3/s$

Explanation:

We are to convert 1.85 x $10^3$ $ft^3/min$ to $m^3/s$

First, let us convert the numerator from ft3 to m3

1 ft3 = 0.0283 m3

Hence,

1.85 x $10^3$ ft3 = 1.85 x $10^3$ x 0.0283 m3

= 52.355 m3

Now, let us convert the denominator from minutes to seconds

1 min = 60 sec

Therefore;

1.85 x $10^3$ $ft^3/min$ = 52.355/60 $m^3/s$

= 0.8726 $m^3/s$
