Ruth sets out to visit her friend Ward, who lives 50miles north and 100 miles east of her. She starts by driving east, but after 70 miles she comes to a detour that takes her 15miles south before going east again. She then drives east for 8 miles and runs out of gas, so Ward flies there in his small plane to get her. What is Ward’s displacement vector? Give your answer in component form, using a coordinate system in which the y-axis points north. What is the magnitude of Ward’s displacement vector? What is the direction of Ward’s displacement vector, measured clockwise from the negative y axis?

According to the phase diagram for water, how is the state of water determined? proceed up a vertical line at any given temperature read the phase at the intersection of any given temperature and pressure at a given pressure, proceed horizontally to the s-l or l-g line

What is the relationship between atmospheric pressure and the density of gas particles in an area of increasing pressure? (2 points) as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area decreases. as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area increases. as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area remains constant. as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area increases and decreases in an alternating pattern. 3. which of the following correctly describes a way in which earth's atmosphere interacts with the geosphere?
