A knight moves on a chessboard two squares up, down, left, or right followedby one square in one of the two directions perpendic

ular to the first part of the move (i.e.,the move is L-shaped). Suppose the knight is on an unbounded board at square (0,0) and wewish to move it to square (x,y) in the smallest number of moves. (For example, to move from(0,0) to (1,1) requires two moves. The knight can move to board locations with negativecoordinates.)

Answer:

Explanation:

Check attachment for solution.

Generally the movement of the knight is L, i.e (2,1), (1,2),(-1,2),(1,-2) etc.

So using Pythagoras theorem

x^2+y^2=1^2+2^2

x^2+y^2=5

Then, the knight will make one movement when the displacement is √5.

So let take a look at other positions

(1,0),(0,1),(-1,0), (0,-1).

Then, for us to have this kind of movement, the knight has to make 3 movements.

When the displacement is 1, then it will make 3 movement.

Let examine other positions

(2,2) or(-2,-2) or (2,-2) or (-2,2)

When the displacement is √8

Then, the movement of the knight is 4.

Let examine other points

(2,0) or (0,2) or (-2,0) or (0,-2)

When the displacement is 2.

The knight make 2 movement

Which of the following is quantitative data? a. Color c. Shape b. Odor d. Volume
Papessa [141]
Hello there! Quantitive data has to do with measurements that can be shown with numbers. Examples of this are things like your height and the length of your arms. With that alone, A and B are eliminated, because those answer choices make no sense. They can't be expressed by numbers and you can't measure colors or odors mathematically. Volume is a way to measure something that CAN be written down by numbers. D is the only answer choice that fits the definition of quantitive data. The answer is D: volume.

A vector has an x-component of length 10 and a y-component of length 3. What is the angle of the vector? (Hint: Use the inverse
Sonja [21]
The vector, the x-component and the y-component form a rectangle triangle where the vector is the hypothenuse and the x and y components are the two sides.
Calling \alpha the angle between the vector and the horizontal direction (x), the two sides are related to \alpha by
\tan \alpha  =  \frac{v_y}{v_x}
where vy and vx are the two components on the y- and x-axis. Using vx=10 and vy=3 we find
\tan \alpha  =  \frac{3}{10} =0.3
And so the angle is
\alpha = \arctan (0.3)=16.7^{\circ}

An advanced computer sends information to its various parts via infrared light pulses traveling through silicon fibers (n = 3.50
sasho [114]

Answer:

d = 6.43 cm

Explanation:

Given:

- Speed resistance coefficient in silicon n = 3.50

- Memory takes processing time t_p = 0.50 ns

- Information is to be obtained within T = 2.0 ns

Find:

- What is the maximum distance the memory unit can be from the central processing unit?

Solution:

- The amount of time taken for information pulse to travel to memory unit:

                            t_m = T - t_p

                            t_m = 2.0 - 0.5 = 1.5 ns

- We will use a basic relationship for distance traveled with respect to speed of light and time:

                           d = V*t_m

- Where speed of light in silicon medium is given by:

                           V = c / n

- Hence,              d = c*t_m / n

-Evaluate:           d = 3*10^8*1.5*10^-9 / 3.50

                           d = 0.129 m 12.9 cm

- The above is the distance for pulse going to and fro the memory and central unit. So the distance between the two is actually d / 2 = 6.43 cm
