Answer:

5miles North

Explanation:

The displacement to the store is 5miles northward.

Displacement is the distance traveled in a specific direction. Displacement is a vector quantity.

A vector has both magnitude and direction.

The magnitude is the amount of that quantity

The direction is its orientation from a reference.

Therefore, the displacement is 5miles north

The space shuttle, in circular orbit around the Earth, collides with a small asteroid which ends up in the shuttle's storage bay

Artemon [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The space shuttle, in circular orbit around the Earth, collides with a small asteroid which ends up in the shuttle's storage bay.

This form of collision is called inelastic collision. And inelastic collision momentum is conserved but the kinetic energy is not conserved. Hence the correct option is b. only momentum is conserved.

xenn [34]

Answer:

Time = 0.55 s

Height = 8.3 m

Explanation:

The ball is dropped and therefore has an initial velocity of 0. Its acceleration, g, is directed downward in the same direction as its displacement, $h_b$ .

The dart is thrown up in which case acceleration, g, acts downward in an opposite direction to its displacement, $h_d$ . Both collide after travelling for a time period, t. Let the height of the dart from the ground at collision be $h_d$ and the distance travelled by the ball measured from the top be $h_b$ .
