Yes because it helps them locate their position and direction
D. distance = 23 m, displacement = + 1 m
Explanation:
Let's remind the difference between distance and displacement:
- distance is a scalar, and is the total length covered by an object, counting all the movements in any direction
- displacement is a vector connecting the starting point and the final point of a motion, so its magnitude is given by the length of this vector, and its direction is given by the direction of this vector.
In this case, the distance covered by Karen is given by the sum of all its movements:

The displacement instead is given by the difference between the final point (1.0 m in front of the starting line) and the starting point (the starting line, 0 m):

Answer:

Explanation:
The heaviside function is defined as:

so we see that the Heaviside function "switches on" when
, and remains switched on when 
If we want our heaviside function to switch on when
, we need the argument to the heaviside function to be 0 when 
Thus we define a function f:

The
term inside the heaviside function makes sure to displace the function 5 units to the right.
Now we just need to add a scale up factor of 240 V, because thats the voltage applied after the heaviside function switches on. (
when
, so it becomes just a 1, which we can safely ignore.)
Therefore our final result is:

I have made a sketch for you, and added it as attachment.
Personally I feel that never trying is worse because at least when you fail you know what you need to improve on and that way you at least get some closure. Where as when you never try it you would never know whether or not you were able to do it
