Answer:
Total distance = 6.5 km
Explanation:
Let the distance be denoted by the vectors drawn from A, B, C, D, E, and F.
Then the distance covered can be calculated by adding the vectors in the direction given.
Total distance = 3km + 1km+ 1.5km+ 0.5km+ 0.5km
Total distance = 6.5 km
If we were to find the displacement ( shortest distance) then the head to tail rule would be applied using the vectors.
Answer: The rising and setting of the Sun.
The appearance and disappearance of the Moon.
Changes in season.
Appearance and disappearance of the Stars.
Explanation: The rising and setting of the Sun helps can be used as a standard to determine time since the rissing and setting of the Sun occurs at similar time and interval in a given geographical ocation.
The appearance and disappearance of the Moon which occurs during the night and early hours of the morning is similar in a given geographical locationation so it can be used as a standard for Time.
Change in season is another natural phenomenon which occurs at similar times in a given geographical location like Winter/summer, rainy/dry etc can be used as standards for time.
The appearance and disappearance of the Stars can also b used as standards for time in a given geographical location.
The displacement would be the final position (37) minus the initial position (50) if using the displacement formula.
C
Explanation:
This is because the other variables in the other choices are relative to different observers and hence are not good to use in an experiment because there will be a lot of inherent bias by the person conducting the experiment For example how one person views how strong or beautiful the maple or oak looks may be different from how another person perceives the same.
However, weight is an absolute SI unit and does not vary from experiment to experiment. It is, therefore, a non-biased variable to use in the experiment and determine which wood between oak and maple can hold more weight.
