A runner travels south along a straight path for 5.5 h with an average velocity of 1.75 km/h, then travels south for 7.5 h with an average velocity of 0.90 km/h. What is the hiker’s displacement for the total trip? * A) 9.6 km to the south
B) 6.8 km to the south
C) 16.4 km to the south
D) 2.8 km to the south

C

Explanation:

D=speed xtime

(5.5x1.75)+(7.5x0.9)

=16.4km

if the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force on the object.

explanation:

this is best explained by having an understanding of newton's second law, which states that f=ma. you see, when the forces are unbalanced, net force (sum of all forces) is not zero. therefore making it necessary for the object to have an acceleration in the direction of the net force.

answer: d. a cme increases the amount of energy in the solar wind

explanation:

coronal mass ejections, also called cmes, are large clouds of plasma and magnetic field that erupt from the sun. only when the cloud is aimed at earth will the cme hit earth and therefore cause impacts. high-speed solar wind streams come from areas on the sun known as coronal holes.
