Answer:1) the total distance is the sum of the two distances

60 km +  45 km = 105 km

2) The displacement is the net movement, or the difference between the initial position and the final position

Call x the initial position, then the final position is x + [60km - 45km]

And the displacement is x + (60km - 45km) - x =60km -45 km = 15 km

Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

Earth is properly designed to support life. This is seen in the favorable temperature that supports life, the water cycle that recycles water for plant and animal life, the atmosphere, energy, and nutrients.

1. Temperature: The temperature which is regulated by the different weather conditions such as the rains, snows, dry seasons all help to maintain a stable condition for life.

2. Water: The water cycle through processes like evaporation, condensation, precipitation, helps to ensure that there is never a lack of water in the earth. The numerous water bodies like the seas, oceans, rivers, lakes, also provide a habitat for some living things. Water makes up 70% of the earth.

3. Atmosphere: The atmosphere is a mixture of gases in the right proportions that are necessary for life. Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon, etc are released and inhaled by man and other living things. They are also involved in so many biochemical reactions that help in metabolism and catabolism.

4. Energy: Energy generated from the sun and within the earth is stored in various forms and is always conserved. This energy is converted to different states such as the potential, chemical, kinetic, mechanical forms to get work done and to release heat.

5. Nutrients​: Though cycles such as the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphorous cycles, the earth maintains its stock of essential nutrients that help to sustain life.

Consider an alien on a planet with an acceleration of gravity equal to 20 m/sec^2. If the alien's mass is 10 kg, how much does t
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

the weight of alien is 200 newtons

Explanation:

The computation of the alien weight is shown below:

Given that

Acceleration = 20m/sec^2

And, the mass is 10 kg

So, the weight of alien is

= 20 × 10

= 200 newtons

hence, the weight of alien is 200 newtons

devlian [24]
Force acting during collision is internal so momentum is conserve so (initial momentum = final momentum) in both directions Two cars collide at an icy intersection and stick together afterward. The first car has a mass of 1150 kg and was approaching at 5.00 m/s due south. The second car has a mass of 750 kg and was approaching at 25.0 m/s due west. Let Vx is and Vy are final velocities of car in +x and +y direction respectively. initial momentum in +ve x (east) direction = final momentum in +ve x direction (east)

- 750*25 + 1150*0 = (750+1150)
Vx initial momentum in +ve y (north) direction = final momentum in +ve y direction (north)

750*0 - 1150*5 = (750+1150)
Vy from here you can calculate Vx and Vy so final velocity V is
