Answer:

3.6km South East

Explanation:

Displacement is the shortest distance between the starting point and the ending point and the direction it is displaced in. To calculate the displacement we can use the pythagoras theorem because the 3km East and the 2km south form the two shorter sides of a right angled triangle between the starting and ending points. So, the displacement is the length C of the triangle which we can calculate as follows:

Pythagoras Theorem:

a^2+b^2=c^2

(2)^2+(3)^2=c^(2)

4+9=c^2

Square root 13 = c

c=3.6km (1dp)

The total displacement is 3.6km and is in the approximate direction of South East (because he travelled east and south).

Hope this helped!

Why are different constellations<br> of stars seen during different<br> seasons?
slamgirl [31]
Actually, they're not.  There's a group of stars and constellations arranged
around the pole of the sky that's visible at any time of any dark, clear night,
all year around.  And any star or constellation in the rest of the sky is visible
for roughly 11 out of every 12 months ... at SOME time of the night. 

Constellations appear to change drastically from one season to the next,
and even from one month to the next, only if you do your stargazing around
the same time every night.

Why does the night sky change at various times of the year ?  Here's how to
think about it:

The Earth spins once a day. You spin along with the Earth, and your clock is
built to follow the sun . "Noon" is the time when the sun is directly over your
head, and "Midnight" is the time when the sun is directly beneath your feet.

Let's say that you go out and look at the stars tonight at midnight, when you're
facing directly away from the sun.

In 6 months from now, when you and the Earth are halfway around on the other
side of the sun, where are those same stars ?  Now they're straight in the
direction of the sun.  So they're directly overhead at Noon, not at Midnight.

THAT's why stars and constellations appear to be in a different part of the sky,
at the same time of night on different dates.

Mamont248 [21]

We'll look at two properties:

1. The variation in temperature

2. The material's heat transfer coefficient

By taking an example;

Use a circular rod made of a certain material (for example, steel) that is insulated all the way around.

One end of the rod is immersed in a huge reservoir of 100°C water, while the other is immersed in water  at 40°C. The cold water is kept in an insulated cylinder on both sides. The temp of the chilly water is measured using a meter as a time - dependent.

Conclusion of experiment;

  • Heat is transferred from a hot location to a cooler region.
  • Whenever heat is applied to a body, its thermal power rises, and its temperature rises.
