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!

When light passes through an object unchanged, scientists call that process _____.
Nataly [62]

<u>Answer</u>:

When light passes through an object unchanged, scientists call that process Transmission.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Transmission is the process where all the light that is passed through the material moves via the material without being absorbed. The Transmission depends on the affected radiation.The Transmittance of the medium is defined as the ratio between transmitted radiant power and incident radiant power. The light that is passed through the medium and not reflected will be either scattered or reflected. The light can be transmitted only through transparent or translucent material. Opaque object does not allows transmission of light.

Lila is a track and field athlete. She must complete four laps around a circular track. The track itself is a 400 meter track an
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Her speed is 1.1 m/s, and her velocity is 0 m/s

Explanation:

Speed = Distance covered/Time

Given

Distance = 400m

Time = 6minutes = 6*60 = 360 secs

Substitute the given parameter into the formula;

Speed = 400/360

Speed = 1.1m/s

Since the track is a circular track, the displacement will be zero. She is only moving in a circular path (no direction)

Velocity = Displacement/Time

Velocity = 0/3600

Velocity = 0m/s

Hence her speed is 1.1 m/s, and her velocity is 0 m/s
