Answer:

3km due West

Explanation:

Displacement is the distance traveled in a specific direction. From this definition, we can see that displacement is a vector quantity that has magnitude and direction.

So;

 For the first day, the person walks 4km East:

                                                           4km

                                     Start ----------------------------→ first day

                                                            7km

              ← ------------------------------------------------------  Second day

                                           

The displacement of the boy  = 7km  - 4km  = 3km due West

If light moves from left to right along the x-axis, then the electric field line vibrates along what?? :(
sasho [114]
All you can say about it is that it then vibrates perpendicular to the x-axis. But that could be up and down parallel to the y-axis, in and out parallel to the z-axis, or some of it in every possible direction perpendicular to the x-axis. We "polarize" the light when we want to pick out only one perpendicular direction and stop all the others.

sasho [114]
<span> the speed of sound in air is directly proportional to the temperature of the air. The speed of sound depends on the temperature of the surrounding air, this can be represented by a speed of sound in air formula: v = 331m/s + 0.6m/s/C * T (where T is temperature)</span>

Balanced or Unbalanced?
Galina-37 [17]

Unbalanced because if it is pushing then stopping, that means that it is unbalanced.
