Answer:

a.Distance = 150 m

b. Displacement = 50 m

Time lapsed = 5 seconds

Explanation:

a. Distance is the change in the position of an object.

The distance covered by the car = 100 + 50

                                                   = 150 m

b. Since displacement is a vector quantity,

Displacement of the car = 100 - 50

                                        = 50 m due east

c. Time elapsed is the time taken for the motion of the car starting from when its starts to when it stops.

Thus, the time elapsed = 4 + 1

                        = 5 seconds

Answer: E.  and Electroweak in 1961 the only other, as

Explanation:

This is more an English grammar question than a physics question, so taking that perspective, one should look for the answer that best completes the sentence.

Based on the word "first" in the sentence, implying the need for a conjunction to join the two theories and the last part of the sentence does not give a reason but further supports the determination of the theory being the first unified theory.

So, to complete the sentence, the best option is;

Maxwell’s theory of Electromagnetism in 1865 was the first "unified field theory" and Electroweak in 1961 the only other, as no further theory has united the electroweak field with either the Strong (Hadronic) force or Gravity.

The point on the earth's surface directly above the point where the fault first ruptures is called the ____________.
Minchanka [31]
This point is called the epicenter. The epicenter is important when it comes to the Earth's surface, because it pinpoints where Earthquakes begin to take shape and occur. It is the place where the most damage is caused by an earthquake and is found above the hypocenter.

What is the unit for measuring energy
sdas [7]
This would be called a Joule. The formula for energy is <span>P.E. = mgh (otherwise known as the gravitational force formula, which is energy.) M is the mass in kilograms, and G is the acceleration due to gravity, which is actually (9.</span>8 m / s2<span> at the surface of the earth.) I hope this helps! ~Mia</span>

An asteroid exerts a 360-N gravitational force on a nearby spacecraft. If the spacecraft moves to a position three times as far
KIM [24]

Answer:

40 N

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the asteroid and the spaceship is given by:

F=G\frac{mM}{R^2}

where

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the asteroid

m is the mass of the spaceship

R is the distance between the asteroid and the spaceship

The initial force is equal to:

F=G\frac{mM}{R^2}=360 N

Later, the spaceship moves to a position 3 times as far from the center of the asteroid, so R' = 3R. Therefore, the new force will be

F'=G\frac{mM}{R'^2}=G\frac{mM}{(3R)^2}=G\frac{mM}{9R^2}=\frac{1}{9}F

so, the force is decreased by a factor 9. Since the initial force was F=360 N, the new force will be

F'=\frac{360 N}{9}=40 N
