Moving forward a negative distance is the same as moving backward a positive distance.

1 answer:

6 0

The answer is: False, because, by definition, the distance (which is a scalar quantity) is the absolute value of the displacement. This means that the distance cannot be negative, but the displacement (which is define as a vector quantity can be positive or negative.

You spin the spinner shown below once. Each sector shown has an equal area.

a_sh-v [17]

Answer: P(not shaded sector) = 0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of shaded parts = 6

Number of unshaded parts = 6

Total parts = 6+6 = 12

So, Probability of getting not shaded sector is given by

$\dfrac{6}{12}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\=0.50$

Hence, P(not shaded sector) = 0.50

A circle with area 16pi has a sector with a central angle of 8/5pi radians. What is the area of the sector?

lianna [129]

Answer:

The area of the sector is $12.8\pi\ units^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of a complete circle (16π units^2) subtends a central angle of 2π radians

using proportion

Find out the area of a sector , if the central angle is equal to 8π/5 radians

$\frac{16\pi}{2\pi}=\frac{x}{(8\pi/5)}\\\\x=8(8\pi/5)\\\\x= 12.8\pi\ units^2$

The shower block on the campsite has an area of 144 m2 The length of the shower block is 24 m.What is the width?

g100num [7]

Since the shower block is in the form of a rectangle. The shower block has an area of 144 $m^{2}$ . It has a length of 24m. We need to calculate the width of the shower block.

Area of rectangular shower block = length $\times$ width

144 $m^{2}$ = 24 m $\times$ width

width = $= \frac{144m^{2}}{24m}$

width = 6m

So, the width of the shower block is 6 meters.
