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

The top of the pool table is 0.810 m from the floor. the placement of the tape is such that 0 m is aligned with the edge of the
8090 [49]
Compute first for the vertical motion, the formula is:

y = gt²/2 

0.810 m = (9.81 m/s²)(t)²/2 

t = 0.4064 s 


whereas the horizontal motion is computed by: 

x = (vx)t 

4.65 m = (vx)(0.4064 s) 

4.65 m/ 0.4064s = (vx)

(vx) = 11.44 m / s
So look for the final vertical speed. 

(vy) = gt 

(vy) = (9.81 m/s²)(0.4064 s) 

(vy) = 3.99 m/s 


speed with which it hit the ground: 

v = sqrt[(vx)² + (vy)²] 

v = sqrt[(11.44 m/s)² + (3.99 m/s)²] 

v = 12.12 m / s

Why do the constellations seem to move around in the sky?.
Gnoma [55]

Answer: As Earth spins on its axis, we, as Earth-bound observers, spin past this background of distant stars. As Earth spins, the stars appear to move across our night sky from east to west, for the same reason that our Sun appears to “rise” in the east and “set” in the west.
