3. Michael goes on a Camel Safari in Africa.
1 answer:
Answers:
Distance = 14 km
Displacement = 4 km east
==============================================
Explanation:
The total distance is simply the sum of the values given. So he traveled a total of 5+4+5 = 9+5 = 14 km overall.
----------------------
The displacement is where a drawing may come in handy. Draw an xy axis. Place point A at the origin (0,0). This is where Michael starts his trip. Then move up to (0,5) to indicate he goes 5 km north. Call this point B.
Afterward, mark point C at (4,5) to show he has gone 4 km east. Finally, point D is at (4,0) because he went 5 km south
The displacement is only concerned with two points: The start and end point. Nothing else matters. We started at A(0,0) and ended at D(4,0). So we've gone 4 km east overall. The direction is important when it comes to displacement. Simply saying "4 km" isn't enough. So in a sense, we could take a shortcut from A directly to D, bypassing the other points B and C.

Answer:
325
Step-by-step explanation:
You must have heard about Arithmetic Progressions (AP)
Arithmetic progressions are a series of numbers such that every successive number is the sum of a constant number and the previous number.
Our very own counting numbers form AP
For example :-
2 = 1 + <u>1</u>
3 = 2 + <u>1</u>
4 = 3 + <u>1</u>
The number in bold (1) is that constant number which is added to a number to form its successive number.
To find the sum of series forming AP, we use the formula :-
here,
- n is the number of terms
- a is the first number of the series
- an is the last number of the series
So we'll use all this information to find the sum of continuous numbers from 1 to 25 where 1 is the first term(a) and 25 is the last(an).
and n is 25
So, the value of S comes out to be 325.
