Answer:-

In physics a law describes a natural phenomenon, but does not attempt to describe how it works.

Newton's law of gravitation describes the attractive force F between two bodies with masses m1 and m2, which are a distance r apart.

f = gm_1m_2/r²

Where G is the gravitational constant.

This is a law because it describes the force but makes not attempt to explain how the force works.

A theory is an explanation of a natural phenomenon. Einstein's General Theory of Relativity explains how gravity works by describing gravity as the effect of curvature of four dimensional spacetime.

Einstein also produced an equation which describes gravity. It may look simple, but in reality it is very complex and very hard to solve.

Gμν=\frac{8\pi \: g}{ {c}^{2} } tμν

So, we have both a law and a theory of gravity.

<h3>What is Displacement ?</h3>

Displacement is the distance travelled in a specific direction. It is a vector quantity.

Given that a person walks first 70 m in the direction 37° north of east, and then walks 82 m in the direction 20° south of east, and finally walks 28 m in the direction 30° west of north.

a) Let P be the Aster's final position from her initial position?

We can use bearing by using Cosine formula to solve this question.

P² = 70² + 82² - 2 × 70 × 82 cos 73

P² = 4900 + 6724 - 11480 cos 73

P² = 11624 - 3356.43

P² = 8267.57

P = √8267.57

P = 90.9 m

P = 90.9 - 28

P = 62.9 m

We can get the angle by using Sine rule

82/ sin Ф = 90.9 / sin 73

sin Ф = 0.8627

Ф = Sin^{-1} (0.8627)

Ф = 59.6°

Ф = 60°

b)  She will head north west direction to return to her initial position
