Answer:

a) 2.41 km

b) 38.8°

Questions c and d are illegible.

Explanation:

We can express the displacements as vectors with origin on the point he started (0, 0).

When he traveled south he moved to (-3, 0).

When he moved east he moved to (-3, x)

The magnitude of the total displacement is found with Pythagoras theorem:

d^2 = dx^2 + dy^2

Rearranging:

dy^2 = d^2 - dx^2

dy = \sqrt{d^2 - dx^2}

dy = \sqrt{3.85^2 - 3^2}  = 2.41 km

The angle of the displacement vector is:

cos(a) = dx/d

a = arccos(dx/d)

a = arccos(3/3.85) = 38.8°

An object weighs 15N in air and 13N when completely
anastassius [24]

Answer:

The volume of water displaced = 0.204 m³

Explanation:

<em>From Archimedes' principle,</em>

<em>Upthrust = lost in weight = weight of water displaced.</em>

<em>U = W₁ - W₂..................... Equation 1</em>

<em>Where U = upthrust, W₁ = weight in air, W₂ = weight when completely submerged in water.</em>

<em>Given: W₁ = 15 N, W₂ = 13 N</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1</em>

<em>U = 15 - 13 </em>

<em>U = 2 N</em>

<em>But,</em>

<em>Weight of water displaced = mass of water displaced. × acceleration due to gravity.</em>

<em>Mass of water displaced = weight of water displaced/ acceleration due to gravity.................... Equation 2</em>

Where: acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², weight of water displaced = 2 N

Substituting these values into equation 2

Mass of water displaced = 2/9.8

Mass of water displaced = 0.204 kg.

Also,

Volume of water displaced = mass of water displaced/ Density of water.............. Equation 3

Where Density of water = 1.0 kg/m³, mass of water displaced = 0.204 kg

Substituting these values into equation 3 above,

Volume of water displaced = 0.204/1

volume of water displaced = 0.204 m³

Therefore the volume of water displaced = 0.204 m³

What is latent heat of fusion?
Naddik [55]

If you have a lump of solid at its melting point ... like ice at 32°F ...
you have to put a certain amount of heat into it just to change it
to water at 32°F.  That amount of heat, that's used just to change
a solid lump into liquid without changing its temperature, is called
the heat of fusion for that substance.

The number is different for every substance.

For water, it takes 336 joules of heat to melt 1 gram of ice
into 1 gram of water, all at 32°F (0°C).
That's an enormous latent heat of fusion ... more than almost any
other known substance.  That's why ice is such a good choice
when you need something to put in your drink to cool it down.
Ice absorbs a huge amount of heat before it melts and the drink
gets watered down.
