Energy can be one answer! There are many, but energy is a main one.
Answer:
1. Distance travelled = 12 km.
2. Displacement = 8.6 km
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Distance 1 (d₁) = 7 km
Distance 2 (d₂) = 5 km
Total distance =?
Displacement =?
1. Determination of the distance travelled.
Distance 1 (d₁) = 7 km
Distance 2 (d₂) = 5 km
Total distance (dₜ) =?
dₜ = d₁ + d₂
dₜ = 7 + 5
dₜ = 12 km
2. Determination of the displacement.
In the attached photo, R is the displacement.
We can obtain the value of R by using the pythagoras theory as illustrated below:
R² = 7² + 5²
R² = 49 + 25
R² = 74
Take the square root of both side
R = √74
R = 8.6 km
Answer:
time taken with speed 23 km/h will be 1.8 hours or 1 hour 48 minutes
Explanation:
Given:
Time is inversely proportional to the speed
mathematically,
t ∝ (1/r)
let the proportionality constant be 'k'
thus,
t = k/r
therefore, for case 1
time = 3 hr
speed = 14 km/hr
3 = k/14
also,
for case 2
let the time be = t
r = 23 km/h
thus,
we have
t = k/23
on dividing equation 2 by 1
we get

or

or
t = 1.8 hr = or 1 hour 48 minutes ( 0.8 hours × 60 minutes/hour = 48 minutes)
