Answer:

A Chinese Geomancer

 Explanation:

The compass was invented in China during the Han Dynasty between the 2nd century BC and 1st century AD where it was called the "south-governor" or "South Pointing Fish" (sīnán 司南). The magnetic compass was not, at first, used for navigation, but for geomancy and fortune-telling by the Chinese.

However, it is believed Flavio Gioia first invented the refined compass, and a monument has been erected in Almafi Italy to honor his invention. The magnetic compass was probably developed by combining the wind rose and the lodestone. From this device, it is supposed the compass rose evolved.

In 1993 Ileana Salvador of Italy walked 3.0km in under 12min. Suppose that during her walk Salvador is observed to steadily incr
padilas [110]

The distance covered is 115 m

Explanation:

The motion of Ileana is a uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration), therefore we can use the following suvat equation:

s=(\frac{u+v}{2})t

where

s is the distance covered

u is the initiaal velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time elapsed

In this problem, we have:

u = 4.20 m/s

v = 5.00 m/s

t = 25.0 s

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to find the distance covered:

s=(\frac{4.20+5.00}{2})(25.0)=115 m
