Answer:

82 degrees

Explanation:

consider your staying point to be the center of a circle. this center has the coordinates (0, 0).

the radius of the circle is the distance you walked East (14 miles).

I assume your teacher means as "angle of displacement" the angle between the East-West line going through your starting point and the direct line from your starting point to your current position.

then the 100 miles North is tan(displacement angle)×14.

as it is the same, if you first went North and then East, or the other way around. you end up at the same point, with the same coordinates.

so, again.

100 = 14×tan(angle)

tan(angle) = 100/14 = 50/7 = 7.142857...

the displacement angle is then 82 degrees.

For an increase in the bulk modulus of a material but without any change in the density, what happens to the speed of sound in t

vazorg [7]

The speed of sound, c, is given by the Newton-Laplace formula
$c = \sqrt{ \frac{K}{\rho} }$
where
K = bulk modulus
ρ = density

Because the density is constant, the speed of sound is proportional to the square root of the bulk modulus.

Therefore when the bulk modulus increases, the speed of sound increases by the square root of the bulk modulus.

For example, if K is doubled, then
$c = \sqrt{2K} = \sqrt{2} \sqrt{K}$

Answer:
If the bulk modulus increases by a factor of n, then c increases by a factor of √n.
