Answer:

Explanation:

The total distance is how far you walk from the starting point.

Distance through west = 18.0m

Distance through north = 25.0m

Total distance covered = 18.0+25.0m

Total distance covered = 43.0m

This means that I am 43.0m from the starting point

Displacement is the distance covered in a specified direction. The displacement will be gotten using the Pythagoras theorem as shown:

d^2 = 25^2 + 18^2\\d^2 = 625+324\\d^2 = 949\\d = \sqrt{949}\\ d = 30.81m

The direction of your displacement is 30.81m

Direction is gotten according to the formula;

\theta = tan ^{-1}{\frac{y}{x} }\\\theta = tan ^{-1}{\frac{25}{-18} }\\\theta = tan ^{-1}-1.3889}\\\theta = -60.27^0\\\theta = 180-60.27\\\theta = 119.7^0

<em>Note that the direction to the west is negative, that is why the x is -18.0m</em>

Once a baseball has been hit into the air, what forces are acting upon it? How can you tell that any forces are acting upon the
Tom [10]
Well, its in the air, so the air is "upon" the ball. and when it comes down...you catch it, and throw it, and get someone out, and win the game, and just keep doing that, and boooommm you're and pro baseball player. Life is good

You start pushing a suitcase full of clothes in the horizontal direction with a force of 25.0 newtons. The weight of the suitcas
sasho [114]

Answer:

Distance traveled will be 5.6307 m

Explanation:

Time t = 3 sec

We have given force F = 25 N

We know that force is given by F = ma

So ma = 25 -----------eqn 1

Weight is given by W = 196 N

We know that weight is given by W = mg

So mg = 196 -----------------eqn 2

From equation 1 and equation 2 \frac{a}{g}=\frac{25}{196}

a=1.2512m/sec^2

Initial velocity is given as 0 so u = 0 m/sec

From second equation of motion s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2=0\times 3+\frac{1}{2}\times 1.2512\times 3^2=5.6307m

Sandy is on a road trip. She leaves at 8:00 AM. It takes her 2 hours to drive 200 kilometers. She stops at a rest stop for half
lutik1710 [3]
The average velocity of Sandy is given by the total distance covered S divided by the total time taken t:
v= \frac{S}{t}

The total distance covered is
S=200 km+0+100 km=300 km
while the total time taken is 2 hours + half an hour (for the rest) + 1 hour and half, so
t=2h+0.5h+1.5 h=4 h
Therefore, the average velocity is 
v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{300 km}{4 h}=75 km/h

Atomic radius<br><br>moving from left to right across a period,<br>​
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Atomic radius decreases moving from left to right across a period.

Explanation:

When we move left to right across a period, the size of atoms generally decreases. It is because within the period the outer electrons are in same valence shell and the number of electrons and proton increases moving from left to right across the the period. It increases the effective nuclear charge resulting in the increased attraction of electron to the nucleus that causes the decreased radius of the atoms.
