I went for a walk the other day. I went four blocks east, then seven blocks south, then one block west and finally
eight blocks north
a.What distance did I travel?
b. What's my displacement?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) distance is 4+7+1+8=20 blocks

b) displacement is 10 blocks

Explanation:

find displacement: x and y

x axis displacement = 4-1 = 3 blocks

y axis displacement = -7+8= 1 block

displacement = the square root of 3^2 + 1^2

= 9+1 = 10 blocks.

You can find the angle of displacement with respect to the initial position using trig identities, if you wish.

Explain how a long-term environmental change can lead
to the development of a new species.( its a paragraph

Answers

Answer:

Humans are modifying the world in many ways, and not all of them for the better. The changes we cause are often severe challenges to animals, plants and microbes in nature, from the introduction of pathogens or exotic invasive species to adding toxic substance or excessive nutrients, or causing climatic change. Often several changes occur at once. Nelson Hairston's lab focuses on freshwater environments, especially lakes and ponds, where some of the species present respond to environmental change with decreases in their numbers, even to the point of extinction, while others may benefit to excess, becoming so dominant that they present problems, as in the case of harmful algal blooms stimulated by nutrient enrichment or climate warming. Hairston's lab studies how individual species, food webs, and whole ecosystems are altered when the environment changes.

One way that some freshwater organisms respond to environmental change is to evolve rapidly. A marked change in the environment favors some characteristics of plants, animals and microbes over others. These character differences are often genetically based so that favored characteristics may increase in the next generation. The shorter the generation time, the faster this evolutionary change can occur. For example, tiny but abundant plankton, eaten by fish and other larger animals, can become adapted to the changed environment within a few years because their generation time is only a few days. Hairston's lab has shown that planktonic "water fleas" (Daphnia), major consumers of suspended algae in lakes, evolved to be tolerant of harmful algae within a decade of the appearance of blooms. This rapid evolution (termed "evolutionary rescue" in conservation biology) raises many intriguing questions, for all environments, not just freshwater: To what extent can we rely on species adapting rather than going extinct when their environment changes? How does the evolution of a species that plays a critical ecological role alter the interactions it has with other species, and the functioning of the entire ecosystem?

If 4.36 mol of potassium phosphate react, how many grams of barium phosphate are produced?

Answers

Hello Mistyann!

First you need to know amount of barium phosphate is

Half of potassium phosphate, also 2.18 mol.

Molar mass of Barium phosphate is 3·137.2 + 2·(30.97+4·16) g/mol

You can calculate it yourself dear.

Now mass is amount of substance · molar mass.

It has been an honour to teach you, dear,

God bless!

They have to bury the remains in the middle of the forest at the Forensic Osteological Research Center in order to study the decomposition of the dead person. By studying the decomposition of dead person we can get a lot of information which can be used in the study of criminal cases and solving of crimes. The middle place in the forest is a perfect place to bury the remains due to presence of huge amount of microbes as well as insect that helps in the decomposition.

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object. When temperature increases, the motion of these particles also increases. (That should give you the answer if you read closely first sentence)

Newtons law of motion​

Answers

Newton's laws of motion are three laws that describe the relationship between the motion of an object and the forces acting on it. The first law states that an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless it is acted upon by an external force. The second law explains how the velocity of an object changes when it is subjected to an external force. The law defines a force to be equal to change in momentum (mass times velocity) per change in time. The third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction
