Distance is never negative. True or False

Mathematics
1 answer:
Georgia [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance can never be negative as distance can't 'decrease' as it is a scalar quantity. Scalar only has magnitude.

DISPLACMENT is a vector quantity, which can be positive, 0, or even negative as it has magnitude and direction.

Hope that helps!

A carnival ride is in the shape of a wheel with a radius of 15 feet. The wheel has 24 cars attached to the center of the wheel.
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

central angle = 360/24 = 15°

arc length = 15/360 * 2π * 15 = 1.25π = 3.93 feet.

Area of a sector = 15/360 * π * (15)^2 = 9.375π = 29.45 square feet

Hope This Helps!     Have A Nice Day!!

Table of inches and centimeters
TEA [102]

If you compare table values to answer choices, you can see right away that several don't work. The number of centimeters is greater than the number of inches, so adding to or multiplying the number of centimeters by some number more than 1 will not give you the smalller number that is inches.

While it may work for the first number (5 inches) to add 7.7 to get the first number of centimeters (12.7), you have to know that you can only add like to like. You can only add inches to inches (getting a result of inches), or centimeters to centimeters (getting a result of centimeters). From the point of view of the units involved, it is <em>nonsensical</em> to add a pure number to a number of inches and expect to get a number of centimeters.

So, we're down to the second choice:

- The number of inches is multiplied by 2.54 to find the number of centimeters.

_____

To find the pattern in the table, you can ...

  • observe that the inch values differ by 1
  • observe that the centimeter values differ by 2.54
  • realize that the constant differences mean the relation between inches and centimeters is linear, and that a change in an inch value of 1 inch is multiplied by 2.54 to find the corresponding change in centimeter value.

_____

I don't know what the first step in your problem solving process is supposed to be. In my problem solving process, the first step is always to <em>look at what you are given</em>. The next step is <em>look at what you are being asked for</em>.
