Answer:

Explanation:

Plotting the original location of the helicopter before it flies 25 km north, it would be at the origin, (0,0) then after it flies north, the y vertex gains 25 points, so it would be (0,25)

After it flies east, the x coordinate gains 5 points, so it would now be (5,25)

After it flies south, the y coordinate loses or is subtracted by 5 points. so it would now be (5,20)

After flying west, the x coordinate loses 15 points. So the final vertex would be at (-10,20)

East = Right

West = Left

South= Down

North = Up

I used mainly mathematical methods by adding and subtracting the x and y coordinate values, but this could be graphed easily since I gave the coordinates just incase!

Hope this helps!

If temp. gets cold resistance in thermostat increases so voltage across it increases AND LED lights brighter. I understand every
Valentin [98]

Normally, when something gets colder, its electrical resistance gets smaller.  This is true of component-A in the drawing ... a simple resistor.

The component labeled 'B' has a strange and unusual symbol, and it's not a simple resistor.  It's a "thermistor".  The word "thermal" always has something to do with heat, and "thermistor" comes from "thermal resistor.  These things can be manufactured either way ... using different materials, a thermistor can be manufactured so that its resistance goes UP, or goes DOWN, or doesn'tchange when it gets colder.  I'm pretty sure that's what's going on here.

When this circuit gets colder, resistance-A gets smaller, but resistance-B either gets bigger OR doesn't change.  Either way, the voltage across B increases.  Since the LED is connected directly across B, the current through it depends on that voltage, so the LED gets more current, and becomes brighter, when A and B both get colder.

This circuit could actually be a very useful device.  If you took out the LED and put a voltmeter in its place, then the reading on the voltmeter would tell you the temperature of wherever you put the two components A and B.

Student bikes to school by traveling first dN = 1.10 miles north, then dW = 0.300 miles west, and finally dS = 0.200 miles south
melisa1 [442]
Taking the vertical component of the displacement
1.1 - 0.2 = 0.9 mile
The horizontal component of the displacement
-0.3 mile

The magnitude of the displacement is
√[ (0.9)² + (-0.3) ] = 0.95 mile

The direction is
θ = tan-1 (-0.3/0.9)
θ = 161.57 degrees.
