A dog travels north for 18 meters, east for 8 meters, South for 27 meters and then west for 8 meters. What is the distance the d

og traveled and what is the displacement of the dog.

I'm really not sure if this is right but I'll try.
The distance that the dog traveled is probably all of the distances added up. I would guess that it's 67 meters in total.
The displacement is a little more tricky but you pretty much have to put a mental map in your head. Since East and West are both 8 meters, they cancel each other out. He travels more southern and that means the displacement is 9 meters south of his original location

The electric field at a point 2.8 cm from a small object points toward the object with a strength of 180,000 N/C. What is the ob

givi [52]

Answer:

Charge, $Q=1.56\times 10^{-8}\ C$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Electric field strength, E = 180000 N/C

Distance from a small object, r = 2.8 cm = 0.028 m

Electric field at a point is given by :

$E=\dfrac{kQ}{r^2}$

Q is the charge on an object

$Q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}$

$Q=\dfrac{180000\ N/C\times (0.028\ m)^2}{9\times 10^9\ Nm^2/C^2}$

$Q=1.56\times 10^{-8}\ C$

So, the charge on the object is $1.56\times 10^{-8}\ C$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Does the rankine degree represent a larger or smaller temperature unit than the kelvin degree

zvonat [6]

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is the first choice, larger.

Rankine is Fahrenheit + 460 , while Kelvin is Celsius + 273. We all know that Fahrenheit has larger number compared to kelvin , thus rankine is much larger.
Hope my answer would be a great help for you. If you have more questions feel free to ask here at Brainly.

The two situations are similar because in both you are trying to minimize the damage and make the best out of a bad situation

A solution is oversaturated with solute. Which could be done to decrease the oversaturation?

salantis [7]

Ans: Dilute the solution

Explanation:
To decrease the over-saturation, dilute the solution. Dilution<span> is the process of decreasing the solute's concentration in the </span>solution. It is<span> usually done by mixing with more solvent. In other words, to </span>dilute<span> a </span>solution<span> means to add more solvent without the addition of more solute.</span>

Which of the following expressions will have units of kg⋅m/s2? Select all that apply, where x is position, v is velocity, m is m

netineya [11]

Answer: $m \frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}$

Explanation:

In the image attached with this answer are shown the given options from which only one is correct.

The correct expression is:

$m \frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}$

Because, if we derive velocity $v_{t}$ with respect to time $t$ we will have acceleration $a$ , hence:

$m \frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}=m.a$

Where $m$ is the mass with units of kilograms ( $kg$ ) and $a$ with units of meter per square seconds $\frac{m}{s}^{2}$ , having as a result $kg\frac{m}{s}^{2}$

The other expressions are incorrect, let’s prove it:

$\frac{m}{2} \frac{d}{dx}{(v_{(x)})}^{2}=\frac{m}{2} 2v_{(x)}^{2-1}=mv_{(x)}$ This result has units of $kg\frac{m}{s}$

$m\frac{d}{dt}a_{(t)}=ma_{(t)}^{1-1}=m$ This result has units of $kg$

$m\int x_{(t)} dt= m \frac{{(x_{(t)})}^{1+1}}{1+1}+C=m\frac{{(x_{(t)})}^{2}}{2}+C$ This result has units of $kgm^{2}$ and $C$ is a constant

$m\frac{d}{dt}x_{(t)}=mx_{(t)}^{1-1}=m$ This result has units of $kg$

$m\frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}=mv_{(t)}^{1-1}=m$ This result has units of $kg$

$\frac{m}{2}\int {(v_{(t)})}^{2} dt= \frac{m}{2} \frac{{(v_{(t)})}^{2+1}}{2+1}+C=\frac{m}{6} {(v_{(t)})}^{3}+C$ This result has units of $kg \frac{m^{3}}{s^{3}}$ and $C$ is a constant

$m\int a_{(t)} dt= \frac{m {a_{(t)}}^{2}}{2}+C$ This result has units of $kg \frac{m^{2}}{s^{4}}$ and $C$ is a constant

$\frac{m}{2} \frac{d}{dt}{(v_{(x)})}^{2}=0$ because $v_{(x)}$ is a constant in this derivation respect to $t$

$m\int v_{(t)} dt= \frac{m {v_{(t)}}^{2}}{2}+C$ This result has units of $kg \frac{m^{2}}{s^{2}}$ and $C$ is a constant
