Answer:

10.2 km

Explanation:

Displacement is the shortest distance from your original position after movement.

Now, the Zambeef delivery truck moves 18 km north and then 10 km east and then 16 km south.

This means that vertically the truck is 2km short of the 18 km he travelled north..

So we can find the displacement using pythagoras theorem..

Let d be the distance from the current position to the initial position.

Thus;

d² = 2² + 10²

d² = 4 + 100

d = √104

d ≈ 10.2 km

I have attached a diagram showing the direction of this displacement

What is the power output of a pump which can raise 60kg of water height to height of 10m every minute
sattari [20]

Answer:

<h3>Power = Work Done/time</h3>

=> Power = 60×10×10/60

=> Power = 6000/60

=> Power = 100 Watt

Hence the power output of a pump is 100 Watts.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

A )

speed of swimming in still water is given by the expression

distance / time

= 50 / 25

= 2 m /s

In lane 1 , 1.2 cm/s current is flowing in the direction that the swimmers are going so swimmers will cover distance at the rate of  2 + 1.2 = 3.2 m /s.

time to cover distance of 50 m in lane 1

= distance / speed

= 50 / 3.2 = 15.625 s

In lane 8 , 1.2 cm/s current is flowing against  the direction that the swimmers are going so swimmers will cover distance at the rate of  2 - 1.2 = .8 m /s.

time to cover distance of 50 m in lane 1

= distance / speed

= 50 / .8 = 62.5 s

Fill-in-the-blank test questions measure ________; matching concepts with their definitions measures ________.
Ulleksa [173]

Test questions measure recall; matching concepts with their definitions measures recognition.

<u>Explanation: </u>

According to Psychology our brain remembers everything what we learn but the understanding and remembering the right answer for the right question needs training and understanding ability. So in order to enhance the ability of recalling and recognizing among the students, the concept of test questions and matching with definitions are used in curricular activities.

As the students will be learning different terms, definitions, methods and different subjects, they should be able to distinguish among different definitions as well as they should recall the things they have learnt. So the answers for the test questions will help to recall the topics learnt by the students while the matching concept will help the students to recognize each definition with their terms.
