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

Practical steam engines utilize 450ºC steam, which is later exhausted at 270ºC.
Naily [24]

(a) 0.249 (24.9 %)

The maximum efficiency of a heat engine is given by

\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}

where

Tc is the low-temperature reservoir

Th is the high-temperature reservoir

For the engine in this problem,

T_C = 270^{\circ}C+273=543 K

T_H = 450^{\circ}C+273=723 K

Therefore the maximum efficiency is

\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}=1-\frac{543}{723}=0.249

(b-c) 0.221 (22.1 %)

The second steam engine operates using the exhaust of the first. So we have:

T_H = 270^{\circ}C+273=543 K is the high-temperature reservoir

T_C = 150^{\circ}C+273=423 K is the low-temperature reservoir

If we apply again the formula of the efficiency

\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}

The maximum efficiency of the second engine is

\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}=1-\frac{423}{543}=0.221

You could use an elevator or the stairs to lift a box to tenth floor.which has greater power?
erastova [34]

Stairs don't have any power at all.  All the energy used to climb them
has to come from your muscles.

An elevator gets its power from the electric motors that lift it.  All YOU
have to do is stand there and look around.

All of this is a big part of the reason why elevators have become so
popular, and why no buildings with more than a few floors were built
before elevators were invented.

What is the SI Unit for amplitude?
seropon [69]
This distance is known as the amplitude of the wave, and is the characteristic height of the wave, above or below the equilibrium position. Normally the symbol A is used to represent the amplitude of a wave. The SI unit of amplitude is the metre (m).
