Explanation:

It is given that,

A bird flies 2 km to the south, then 0.2 km to the north. The displacement of the bird is equal to the shortest path covered by it.

Initially, the bird is moving in south direction and then it move to north. Displacement can be calculated using difference between initial position and final position.

d = 2.2 km - 0.2 km = 1.8 km

Hence, the displacement of the bird is 1.8 km

It would be D because it is flying back to where it started 2-.2=1.8

Hello. You did not inform the experiment that Arthur is conducting, which makes it impossible for your question to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

The hypothesis is an assumption that is made before the experiment is carried out. This hypothesis is formed with the observation of some phenomenon of nature where the researcher believes that two or more elements interact to form a result. In this case, the experiment is carried out to determine whether the assumption, that is, the hypothesis is false or true. In the event that an experiment determines that the hypothesis is false, two things may have occurred: (a) the experiment was set up, or analyzed incorrectly, (b) the elements tested have no relation to the observed phenomenon.

The sensor in the torso of a crash test dummy records the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on the dummy.If the du

Here in crash test the two forces are acting on the dummy in two different directions

As we know that force is a vector quantity so we need to use vector addition laws in order to find the resultant force on it.

So here two forces are given in perpendicular direction with each other so as per vector addition law we need to use Pythagoras theorem to find the resultant of two vectors

so we can say

$F_{net} = \sqrt{F_1^2 + F_2^2}$
