Answer:

40m to the East

Explanation:

Displacement is the distance moved in a specific direction. When writing the displacement value of a moving body, the direction must be put in the description.

Displacement takes into account the start and finish position of a body.

100m

Start -------------------------------------------------------------- →

60m

Final ←----------------------------------

Displacement = 100m - 60m = 40m

Therefore, the displacement is 40m due east

Which of the following best describes entropy

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Exothermic reactions increase the entropy of the surroundings. Simply put, entropy measures the dispersal of energy. Since ΔH is negative in an exothermic reaction, this must mean that ΔS will take on a positive value, indicating an increase in entropy.

A commercial jet liner takes off with an average acceleration of 3 g. How long does it take to reach the end of its runway which

ANEK [815]

Answer:

The time taken for the commercial Jet liner to reach the end of its runway is 10.18 s.

Explanation:

Given;

average acceleration of the commercial Jet liner, a = 3g = 3 x 9.8 m/s² = 29.4 m/s²

distance traveled by the commercial Jet liner, s = 1542 m

The time taken for the commercial Jet liner to reach the end of its runway is calculated as follows;

s = ut + ¹/₂at²

where;

u is the initial velocity of the commercial Jet liner = 0

s = 0 + ¹/₂at²

s = ¹/₂at²

2s = at²

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2s}{a} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 1524}{29.4} } \\\\t = 10.18 \ s$

Therefore, the time taken for the commercial Jet liner to reach the end of its runway is 10.18 s.

Which of the following quantities has the same dimensions as a speed? and why?

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

the answer is at

Explanation:

Dimension of at = [ LT^-2 ] [ T ]

= [ LT^(-2+1) ]

= [ LT^-1 ]

which is same as dimension of speed.
