The speed of the car is 60 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of an object is a scalar quantity telling "how fast" the object is moving, regardless of its direction. It can be calculated as follows:

$speed=\frac{d}{t}$

where

d is the distance covered

t is the time taken

For the car in this problem, we have

$d=108 km =1.08\cdot 10^5 m$ is the distance covered

$t=30 min \cdot 60 =1800 s$ is the time taken

Subsituting into the equation, we find the speed:

$speed=\frac{1.08\cdot 10^5}{1800}=60 m/s$

Why is the sky blue?

Taya2010 [7]

A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colours because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.

If a dog walks north for 10 meters and then east for 10 meters, what is the direction of its displacement?

Katyanochek1 [597]

The direction of its displacement wil be

c.northeast

In fact, the dog walks north for 10 meters and east for another 10 meters. The path of the dog can be represented with two vectors, A pointing north (of magnitude 10 meters) and B pointing east (of magnitude 10 meters). The direction of the resultant vector (due to east) will be given by

$tan \theta =\frac{A}{B}=\frac{10}{10}=1$
