Answer:

-3m+7m =  4m

Explanation:

As he walks south, he is going down 3m (-3m). Then he walks up 7m (+7m).

You subtract the final position from the initial position to get displacement.

7m - 3m = 4m

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

an explanation on how the natural world works

Explanation:

A scientific theory is simply an explanation into how the natural world works. Scientific theory is formulated after a series of hypothesis that has ascertained how true an observation is.

A theory is provides explanation into an observed feature. It can be disproved when new evidences are found. This brings about revision into scientific proofs.

A robin in flight has 20.8 J of PE when it is 27.6 m high. What is the mass of the robin? (Unit = kg)
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

<h2>\boxed{  \bold{ \purple{0.0769 \: kg \: }}}</h2>

Explanation:

\sf{Potential   Energy ( P.E ) \:  =  \: 20.8 \: joule}

\sf{distance \:  = 27.6 \: metre}

\sf{mass = } ?

\sf{acceleration \: due \: to \: gravity = 9.68 \:  {metre \: per \: second}^{2} }

Now, let's find the mass:

\sf{PE  \:  =  mass \times gravity \:  \times  \: distance}

plug the values

⇒\sf{20.8 = m \times 9.8 \times 27.6}

Multiply the numbers

⇒\sf{20.8 = 270.48 \: m}

Swap the sides of the equation

⇒\sf{270.48m = 20.8}

Divide both sides of the equation by 270.48

⇒\sf{ \frac{270.48m}{270.48}  =  \frac{20.8}{270.48} }

Calculate

⇒\sf{0.0769} kg

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!

5. Left

Explanation: centripetal acceleration is the acceleration that acts on an object which is moving by circular motion. The direction of the centripetal acceleration is always towards the centre of the circular trajectory: that means that for a car following a bend, the direction of the centripetal acceleration is towards the centre of the bend, and so it is towards the left if the bend is towards the left, and towards the right if the bend is towards the right.

In this example, the road in this bend is going to the left, so centripetal acceleration is toward the left as well.


6. Greater

Explanation: Inertia represents the tendency of an object at staying in motion if it is moving, and at staying at rest if the object is at rest. We can also see inertia as a measure of "how difficult it is" to put an object in motion. Due to this definition, we can also notice that inertia is directly proportional to the mass of the object: the greater the mass, the greater the inertia, because it is more difficult to put the object in motion.

So, in this example, the greater the boulder's mass, the greater inertia it has.


7. Direction

Explanation: displacement is a vector quantity that represents the difference in position between an object and a starting point. Because it is a vector, displacement consists of two elements:

- A magnitude, which is equal to the object's distance from the starting point

- A direction, again compared to the starting point

So, displacement depends on the object's distance and direction from the starting point.


8. Negative

Explanation: acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity; in formula:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where v is the final velocity, u the initial velocity, and t the time taken to accelerate from u to v. From the formula, we see that:

- When the final velocity (v) is greater than the initial velocity (u), acceleration is positive

- When the final velocity (v) is smaller than the initial velocity (u), acceleration is negative

In this problem, we have a car slowing down: it means that the final velocity is smaller than the initial velocity, so in this case acceleration is negative.

If the charge remains the same but the radius of the sphere is doubled, the electric flux coming out of it will be
il63 [147K]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply Gauss's theorem for electric flux to solve the problem . According to this theorem , total electric flux coming out of a charge q can be given by the following relation .

∫ E ds = q / ε

Here q is assumed to be enclosed in a closed surface , E is electric intensity on the surface so

∫ E ds represents total electric flux passing through the closed surface due to charge q enclosed in the surface .

This also represents total flux coming out of the charge q on all sides .

This is equal to q / ε where ε is a constant called permittivity  which depends upon the medium enclosing the charge . For air , its value is 8.85 x 10⁻¹² .

If charge remains the same but radius of the sphere enclosing the charge is doubled , the flux coming out of charge will remain the same .

It is so because flux coming out of charge q is q / ε . It does not depend upon surface area enclosing the charge . It depends upon two factors

1 ) charge q and

2 ) the permittivity of medium  ε  around .
