Answer:

Distance = 64 metres

Displacement = 28 metres

Direction = northward

Explanation:

Given that a  kayaker moves 22 meters northward, then 18 meters southward , and finally 24 meters northward

Distance covered is only about the magnitude of the length covered.

Distance = 22 + 18 + 24 = 64 metres

The direction will be considered when calculating the displacement

Let northward be positive and southward be negative

Displacement = 22 - 18 + 24 = 28 metres

Since the displacement is positive, the direction of the motion is northward.

klasskru [66]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

In order for the balloon to strike the professor's head, th balloon should drop by 18 - 1.7 = 16.3 m in the time at the professor takes to walk 1 m.
The time for the professor to walk 1 m is
t = (1 m)/(0.45 m/s) = 2.2222 s

The initial vertical velocity of the balloon is zero.
The vertical drop of the balloon in 2.2222 s is
h = (1/2)*(9.8 m/s²)*(2.2222 s)² = 24.197 m

Because 24.97 > 16.3, the balloon lands in front of the professor, and does not hit the professor.

The time for the balloon to hit the ground is
(1/2)*(9.8)*t² = 18
t = 1.9166 s

The time difference is 2.2222 - 1.9166 = 0.3056 s
Within this time interval, the professor travels 0.45*0.3056 = 0.175 m
Therefore the balloon falls 0.175 m in front of the professor.

Answer: 
The balloon misses the professor, and falls 0.175 m in front of the professor.

The screwdriver used by an electrician has a plastic or rubber covers on them why
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Plastic or rubber are regarded as an insulator, and an insulator does not allow the flow of electric current through them, so the handles of screwdrivers as well as pliers that electricians use in repairing is been covered with plastic or rubber so that electric current is prevented to pass through it to the body of electricians to avoid been electrocuted as well as shock.
