Answer and Explanation:

If the ant was to crawl 50cm to the right, then come back 30 cm, then the total distance walked would be <u>80cm</u>.

- Combine 50cm and 30cm to get 80 cm.

For displacement, the answer is <u>20 cm.</u>

- When calculating displacement, you use the initial (starting) distance. and subtract that from the final distance, giving you the displacement, or the amount traveled from the starting point to the final point if you were to make a straight line from the starting point to end point. (0 to 50, then back 30 the same direction, so subtract 30 from 50 to get 20)

Answer:

Distance = 80cm

Displacement = 20cm

Explanation:

Distance does not depend on direction, its the total amount traveled.

Displacement has a direction. Displacement is how far your stopping point is from the beginning point.

The ant could have walked 50cm to the east, stopped and turned around, walked 50cm to the west, walking a total distance of 100cm, but the displacement would be 0 because he ended up at the same spot that he started. It can get much more complicated than this, but this is a good start.

Answer:

According to Newton's 2nd law

The force acting on a body produces acceleration in its direction which is directly propotional to the force but inversly propotinal to the mass of tbe body.

Explanation:

a = F/m

F = ma

Where( F) is force (m) is mass and (a) is acceleration.

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

One year

Explanation:

In Florida, once you have had your learner's license for 1 year without any traffic convictions, you will receive an intermediate license.

The rule for Florida is that if a driver drives safely without any conviction during that year of his trial, he will receive an intermediate license. This means that he is now completely eligible and safe to drive around Florida's roads.

I hope the answer is helpful.

Thanks for asking.

Which of the following is true about a planet orbiting a star in uniform circular
Mnenie [13.5K]

The velocity vector of the planet points toward the center of the  circle is the following is true about a planet orbiting a star in uniform circular  motion.

A. The velocity vector of the planet points toward the center of the  circle.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Motion of the planet around the star is mentioned to be uniform and around a circular path. Objects in uniform circular motion motion has constant angular speed but the velocity of the object will not remain constant. Since the planet is in circular motion the direction of velocity vector at a particular point is tangential to the circular path at that particular point.

Thus at every point, the direction of velocity vector changes and this means the velocity is never constant. The objects in uniform circular motion has centripetal acceleration which means that velocity vector of the planet points toward the center of the  circle.

Why do you think a clothes dryer requires a 220-volt outlet, while a toaster only requires a 110-volt outlet?
hammer [34]

A toaster needs a 110-volt outlet because it doesn’t need too much electricity.  Electricity can be converted to heat, and toaster only needs to be heated and nothing else that requires extra electricity while clothes dyer requires higher voltage because it needs more effort and electricity in order to do its function.

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST....<br>Determine the value of F...​
aleksley [76]
F should be 10. If The Whole top is 50cm, then we should subtract 10n and 30n which gives us 10.

Or it could be 15 if both top and bottom are 25. 10+15= 25.
