Answer:true

Explanation:

Displacement is the vector representation of a change in position. It is path independent and is equivalent to the straight line distance between the start and end locations. Distance is a scalar quantity that reflects the path traveled.

PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE 20 POINTS!!!!

A). very large
B). very small
These are both wishy-washy words ... words that mean different things
to different people, and may even mean different things to the same person
at different times.
Even if everybody agreed on the meaning of these words, we wouldn't
have any idea which one may apply to the rover, because there's nothing
in the picture that gives any size reference !  We don't know from the picture
whether this thing is the size of a school book or a school bus.  Or somewhere
in between.

C). very mathematical
What in the world does this mean ? ?
I don't see a single number or math symbol anywhere in the drawing.
I don't think this is the correct choice.

D). very complex
In the drawing, there are thirteen different labels of things,
and eight of them have such long names that only their initials
are shown.
This is one complicated combination of many different machines.
I think this is the best choice of description.

Can somebody please explain how a compass can be used to find North?

PLEASE HURRY!!!!<br>why does the temperature change?
svet-max [94.6K]
Wind, radiation, and the sun are all factors that change the temperature.

Solar heating of the Earth's surface is uneven because land heats faster than water, and this causes air to warm, expand and rise over land while it cools and sinks over the cooler water surfaces.

7. Katie and her best friend Liam play tennis every Saturday morning. When Katie serves the ball to Liam, it
KIM [24]

a. 4.52 m/s south

Velocity is a vector, whose magnitude is defined as the ratio between the displacement of the object and the time taken for the displacement to occur:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the displacement

t is the time

Velocity is a vector, so it also has a direction, which corresponds to that of the displacement.

For the ball in this problem,

d = 9.5 m south

t = 2.1 s

Substituting, we find:

v=\frac{9.5}{2.1}=4.52 m/s

and the directiion is the same as the displacement (south).

b. 4.52 m/s north

For this part, we must keep in mind that the speed is the magnitude of the velocity; however, speed is a scalar, so it does not have a direction.

Here we are told that the tennis ball travels at constant speed, so on its way back from Liam to Katie the ball's velocity is still the same as before, therefore

|v| = 4.52 m/s

However, this time the direction is opposite to before, since the ball is travelling in the opposite direction.

Therefore, the ball's velocity when Liam returns Katie's service is

4.52 m/s north
