Answer:

Total: 200 meters, Displacement: 100 meters South

Explanation:

First, add up the meters traveled to get the total distance.

50m + 150m = 200m

Lastly, displacement is the shortest distance from the initial position to the final position. The person first walked 50 meters north but then traveled 150 meters south. Therefore, their displacement was 100 meters south.

50m - 150m = -100m

(Note: Directions are vectors. North and East are positive vectors while South and West are negative)

An object has an acceleration of 6.0 m/s/s. If the net force was doubled and the mass was one-third the original value, then the
alexandr402 [8]

Hahahahaha. Okay.

So basically , force is equal to mass into acceleration.

F=ma

so when F=ma , we get acceleration=6m/s/s

Force is doubled.

Mass is 1/3 times original.

2F=1/3ma

Now , we rearrange , and we get 6F=ma

So , now for 6 times the original force , we get 6 times the initial acceleration.

So new acceleration = 6*6= 36m/s/s

What happened to the balloon when it was placed on the bottle with the baking soda and vinegar and why.
user100 [1]

Answer:

The ballon would be inflated. The reason is that the sodium bicarbonate in baking soda reacts with acetic acid in vinegar to produce gas.

Explanation:

The main component of baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, {\rm Na_{2}CO_{3}}.

Vinegar is mostly a solution of acetic acid {\rm CH_{3}COOH} in water.

Acids such as acetic acid react with carbonate salts. One of the products of such reactions is carbon dioxide {\rm CO_{2}}, a gas.

In this question, when the acetic acid in vinegar reacts with sodium bicarbonate in the baking soda, the following reaction would occur:

\begin{aligned}& {\rm Na_{2}CO_{3}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm CH_{3}COOH}\, (aq) \\ &\to 2\, {\rm CH_{3}COONa}\, (aq) + {\rm CO_{2}}\, (g)\end{aligned}.

The {\rm CO_{2}} produced would then inflate the ballon placed on the opening of the bottle.
