Answer:

The distance it has traveled is 3,050 m and the magnitude of its displacement is 650 m north.

Explanation:

Distance refers to the length between any two points in space, while displacement refers to the distance from a start position to an end position regardless of the path.

In other words, distance refers to how much space an object travels during its movement; is the quantity moved. It is also said to be the sum of the distances traveled. The distance traveled by a mobile is the length of its trajectory and it is a scalar quantity. In this case, the distance is calculated as:

1850 m + 1200 m= 3,050 m

Displacement refers to the distance and direction of the final position from the initial position of an object. The displacement effected is a vector quantity. The vector representing the displacement has its origin in the initial position, its end in the final position, and its module is the distance in a straight line between the initial and final positions. That is, when expressing the displacement it is done in terms of the magnitude with its respective unit of measurement and the direction because the displacement is a vector type quantity. Mathematically, the displacement (Δd) is calculated as:

Δd= df - di

where df is the final position and di is the initial position of the object.

In this case, the displacement is calculated as:

1850 m - 1200 m= 650 m

Since the distance to the north is greater, the direction of travel will be to the north.

<u><em>The distance it has traveled is 3,050 m and the magnitude of its displacement is 650 m north.</em></u>

Generally, weather patterns in the U.S. move _____.
blagie [28]
West to east.

The earth is spinning on its own axis. Thus, the area of the equator directly hit by the sun's heat and more solar radiation compared to any other area. That same heat warmth the atmosphere. Warm air rises towards the pole which is cooler. This is the reason of constant movement of the atmosphere.

The Coriolis force governed the air flows towards the pole. While the earth is spinning plus the movement of air north or south, the air follows a <span>curved path, toward the east.</span>

Hey there,

Your question states: <span>How long does it take for light from a star that is 8 light-years away to reach earth?

It take just about (</span>8 earth years) <span> for light from a star that is 8 light-years away to reach earth. That is how </span>FAST it would take.

Hope this helps.

What is the Potential energy of a magnetic generator
sergiy2304 [10]

Well potential energy is energy possessed by an object of by the position it's in. For example when you hold back a bow and arrow, but before you shoot it you are containing energy by holding the arrow back. So when you start the magnetic generator (pull or turn to start it) before using it for its purpose that is potential energy. I hope this helps.
