Answer:

11.6km

4.4km in the negative direction

Explanation:

Distance is the total length of path covered and traveled by a body.

So, for this car on a straight line;

  Total distance  = 8km + 3.6km  = 11.6km

Displacement is the distance traveled along a path and the direction it takes.

It is a vector quantity with magnitude and directional attributes.

For this journey;

 Displacement  = 8km  - 3.6km  = 4.4km in the negative direction.

the density of dry air at 20 degrees celsius is 1.20 g/L. What is the mass of air, in kilograms, of a room that measures 24.0m b

<h2>Mass of air in a room that measures 24.0 m by 15.0 m by 4.0 m is 1728 kg.</h2>

Explanation:

Density of air = 1.20 g/L = \frac{1.20\times 10^{-3}kg}{10^{-3}m^3}=1.2kg/m^3

Size of room is 24.0m by 15.0 m by 4.0 m

Volume of room = 24 x 15 x 4 = 1440 m³

We know the equation

            Mass = Volume x Density

            Mass = 1440 x 1.2

            Mass = 1728 kg  

Mass of air in a room that measures 24.0 m by 15.0 m by 4.0 m is 1728 kg.

A 15 kg mass is moving at 7.50 meters per second on a horizontal, frictionless surface. What is the total work that must be done
sashaice [31]
Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) x (speed)²

At 7.5 m/s, the object's KE is (1/2) (7.5) (7.5)² = 210.9375 joules

At 11.5 m/s, the object's KE is (1/2) (7.5) (11.5)² = 495.9375 joules

The additional energy needed to speed the object up from 7.5 m/s
to 11.5 m/s is (495.9375 - 210.9375) = <em>285 joules</em>.

That energy has to come from somewhere. Without friction, that's exactly
the amount of work that must be done to the object in order to raise its
speed by that much.

Object A is 71 degrees and object B is 75 degrees how will thermal energy flow
Tasya [4]

Given :

Object A is 71 degrees and object B is 75 degrees .

To Find :

How will thermal energy flow.

Solution :

We know, by law of thermodynamics thermal energy will flow from higher temperature to lower temperature.

So, in the given question energy will flow from object B from object A.

Hence, this is the required solution.
