Answer:

displacement= 30 m towards south, distance= 210m

Explanation:

Distance (scalar quantity) how much ground an object has covered.

Displacement (vector quantity) refers to how far out of place an object is it is the object's overall change in position.

Basically meaning for displacement the directions will be very key

D for Displacement

D= D1+D2

D=  120 (S) + 90 m (N)

Must be in same direction

D= 120 (S) + (-90 m) (S)

D= 30 m (S)

and for distance you are simply just adding how much distance they have covered

so d= d1+d2

d= 90m + 120m

d= 210m

Which fossil fuel is produced as a by-product that occurs when bacteria decompose organic material under anaerobic conditions?
Mumz [18]

Bio-gas is the naturally produced fossil fuel, a by-product when bacteria decompose organic material under anaerobic conditions.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Organic matter particularly waste material is broken down by bacteria through fermentation in an environmental condition without any presence of oxygen. This process of decomposition leads to formation of bio-gas with "carbon dioxide and methane" in a 2:3 ratio.

The above biological process is termed as bio-digestion or anaerobic digestion. Methane is flammable and thus bio-gas can be used as "energy source", a waste-to-energy transformation. The remaining decomposed matter is ideal as manure for plants due to its rich nutrient level.

Why do atoms like carbon and nitrogen not like to make ions, while sodium and chlorine do?
krok68 [10]
Atoms like carbon and nitrogen do not form ions because the electronegativity of these atoms are not that high nor very low which means electrons are fairly stable in the atom. While chlorine has very high electronegativity and for sodium very low, atoms tend to receive or release electrons.

In Trial III, a different, looser, spring is used; its force constant is 23.1 N/m. The suspended mass is the same as the one in
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

T=0.827s

Explanation:

The period of a spring can be calculated with the equation

T=2\pi w

But we know as well that w is given by,

w=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

Replacing,

w=\frac{2\pi}{T}= \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{0.4}{23.1}}

So we have that

T=0.827s
