Answer:8.28 km

Explanation:

Given

First it drifts $45^{\circ}$ 2.5 km

$r_1=2.5cos45 i+2.5sin45 j$

Secondly it drifts $60^{\circ}$ 4.70 km

$r_{12}=4.7cos60 i-4.7sin60 j$

After that it drifted along east direction 5.1 km

$r_{23}=5.1 i$

After that it drifts $55^{\circ}$ 7.2 km

$r_{34}=-7.2cos55 i-7.2sin55 j$

After that it drifts $5^{\circ}$ 2.8 km

$r_{54}=-2.8cos5 i+2.8sin5 j$

$r_{5O}$ = $\left [ 2.5cos45+4.7cos60+5.1-7.2cos55-2.8cos5\right ]\hat{i}$ + $\left [ 2.5sin45-4.7sin60-7.2sin55+2.8sin5\right ]\hat{j}$

$r_{5O}=2.299\hat{i}-7.95\hat{j}$

$|r_{5O}|=8.28 km$

for direction

$tan\theta =\frac{7.95}{2.299}=3.4580$

$\theta =73.87^{\circ}$ south of east

Identify a situation in which you would want to have a high

Andreyy89

Answer: A voltmeter must have a high resistance where as an ammeter must have a low resistance.

Explanation:

A voltmeter is a device which is connected in parallel to the component across which voltage needs to be measured. In a parallel circuit voltage drop is same at the nodes. The parallel connection must not offer easier path for current to divert from the main circuit and travel. Thus, a voltmeter must have high resistance.

On the other hand, an ammeter which is used to measure current in the circuit must have low resistance as it is connected in series. It should not offer resistance as it would reduce the actual current and measurement would be inaccurate.
