Sam drives her scooter 7 kilometres north. She stops for lunch and then drives
Talja [164]

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

You plan to take your hair blower to europe, where the electrical outlets put out 240 v instead of the 120 v seen in the united
Dmitrij [34]
P = U × I
I = P / U = 1600W / 120V = 13.4A
P = 240V × 13.4A = 3216W

If your hair blower isnt rated for 220- 230V(this is the voltage in EU) you are most likely going to burn it.
