Answer:

B. 10m/s

Explanation:

If a drone flies 8 m/s due East with respects to the wind and the wind is blowing 6 m/s due North, the speed of the drone with respect to the ground is its displacement.

Displacement is calculated using Pythagoras theorem.

d² = 8²+6²

d² = 64+36

d² = 100

Square root both sides

√d² = √100

d = 10m/s

Hence the distance of the drone with respect to the ground is 10m/s

Option B is correct

You can describe the _______________ of an object by saying it is moving in a straight line or is curved around another object.
velikii [3]

Answer:

You can describe the<u> motion </u>of an object by saying it is moving in a straight line or is curved around another object. You can also describe where an object is by its <u> position </u> in relation to another object. The second object acts as a<u> reference</u> point. When an object changes position, you know it has motion. Motion can also be described by finding an object's <u>speed  </u>or how fast or slow it moves in a certain amount of time. In addition, you can describe the object's speed AND direction together. This is called <u>velocity</u>

Explanation:

In the given answer-

<u>Motion</u> is defined as - the change in the movement or position of any object  or body.

<u>Position</u> is said to be a place or somewhere or a location where any object or body is particularly placed/located or put on.

<u>Reference poin</u>t is a fixed point with regards to which any object or body changes its position. It is also called reference origin.

<u>Speed</u> is defined as the rate of any object covering certain distances. It is a scaler quantity (quantity which depends upon only magnitude).

<u>Velocity</u> is defined as the rate of speed per unit time. It is a vector quantity (quantity depending upon both magnitude and direction ).

The primary source of evidence proposed by many scientist to support the theory of an ancient earth is ____ dating.
vova2212 [387]
It depends on your definition of “ancient.” Radiometric dating using Carbon-14 can reliably date back to about 50,000 years, uranium-lead or lead-lead dating can date back multiple millions, potassium-argon dating can reach 1.5 billion, and rubidium-strontium can reach 50 billion (nearly 4x the age of the universe). It depends on the context in which this question is being asked.

Predict the deformation or elongation of a spring that has a constant of elasticity of 400 N/m when a force of 75 N is applied i
morpeh [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Give that,

Spring constant (k)=40N/m

Force applied =75N

Since the force is applied to the right, we don't know if it is compressing or stretching the spring

So let assume it compress

Using hooke's law

F=-ke

e=-F/k

Then, e=-75/40

e=-1.875m

The deformation is 1.875m.

Let assume it stretch

Using hooke's law

-F=-ke

e=F/k

Then, e=75/40

e=1.875m

The elongation is 1.875m
