Paula has gone 1 km east as the total displacement. The total distance would be 7 km. Why? Well, the difference between displacement and distance is displacement is directional which is why it’s included in velocity and not speed. However, distance is more broad and not as specific.

Why the greater the depth, the greater the pressure?
Tatiana [17]
Well, the reason behind this is because water depth (I assume you're talking about water/liquid) increases the pressure because of the weight and volume of the water above. I hope this helps! ~Mia

A mechanical wave starts when matter is disturbed by a source of ______.
Gwar [14]

Answer:

MATERIAL MEDIUM

Explanation:

Wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium and transfer energy from one point to another without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself. The two forms of wave are the mechanical wave and the electromagnetic waves.

Mechanical wave is a wave with requires MATERIAL MEDIUM for its propagation. This means that before wave can be propagated at times, material medium is needed e.g a ripple tank. A ripple tank is a mechanical device that generates waves using an instrument called stroboscope attached to it. This kind of wave requires an external source before it can propagate compared to electromagnetic waves that does not require material medium for its propagation.

A radioactive substance decays according to the formula w = 20e¡kt grams where t is the time in hours. a find k given that after
blagie [28]
W=20 e(-kt)  
A. Rearranging gives k= -(ln(w/20)/t 
 Substituting w= 10 and solving gives k=0.014 
 B. Using W=20e(-kt). After 0 hours, W=20. After 24 hours, W=14.29g. After 1 week (24x7=168h) W=1.9g 
 C. Rearranging gives t=-(ln(10/20)/k. Substituting w=1 and solving gives t=214 hours. 
 D. Differentiating gives dW/ dt = -20ke(-kt). Solving for t=100 gives dW/dt = 0.07g/h. Solving for t=1000 gives 0.0000002g/h 
 E. dW/dt = -20ke(-kt). But W=20e(-kt) so dW/dt = -kW

A sample of gold has a mass of 30.94 grams and density of 19.32g/cm^3. What volume of space will this sample of gold occupy?
sdas [7]
Data:
mass, m = 30.94 g
density, d = 19.32 g/cm^3

Formula: d = m / v => v = m / d = 30.94 g / 19.32 g/cm^3 = 1.60 cm^3

Then, the answer is the option C.
