Answer:

7 miles southwest

9 steps to the left

75 mph north

Explanation:

A vector quantity has magnitude and directions. Vector is a terminology used to describe physical quantities with this attribute.

The opposite of vectors are scalar quantities. They only have magnitude but no direction.

The choices which indicates a specific direction is a true vector.

7 miles south west is displacement of a body

9 steps to the left is displacement

75mph north is a velocity

Displacement and velocity are physical quantities that are vectors

Juli2301 [7.4K]

$\text{Hello there!}\\\\\text{We're trying to find displacement}\\\\\text{We would use the Pythagorean theorem to find the displacement:}\\a^2+b^2=c^2\\\\\text{We know that the car goes 20 km south and 20 km west}\\\\\text{When you draw it out, it should look like a triangle, you would be finding}\\\text{the length of the hypotenuse}\\\\\text{Plug in 20 to} \,\,a^2\,\, \text{and}\,\, b^2}\\\\20^2+20^2=c^2\\\\\text{Solve:}\\\\20^2+20^2=c^2\\\\400+400=c^2\\\\800=c^2\\\\\sqrt800=\sqrt c\\$

Answer:

Less powerful

Explanation:

Hurricanes rely on warm water. It sucks heat energy from the water to use for fuel. Warmer water means more moisture, which also mean a bigger and/or stronger hurricane. The North Atlantic is definitely much colder than the Caribbean so the hurricane will not have much fuel.
