5 0

Answer:

A vector only has zero magnitude if and only if all its components are 0. Therefore, a vector can have non-zero magnitude if a component is zero.

A bus initially moving at 20 m/s with an acceleration of -4m/s² for 5

Alborosie

Answer:

50m; 0m/s.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity = 20m/s

Acceleration, a = - 4m/s²

Time, t = 5secs

To find the displacement, we would use the second equation of motion;

$S = ut + \frac {1}{2}at^{2}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$S =20*5 + \frac{1}{2}*(-4)*5^{2}$

$S =100 + (-2)*25$

$S =100 - 50$

S = 50m

Next, to find the final velocity, we would use the third equation of motion;

$V^{2} = U^{2} + 2aS$

Where;

V represents the final velocity measured in meter per seconds.

U represents the initial velocity measured in meter per seconds.

a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.

<em>Substituting into the equation, we have;</em>

$V^{2} = 20^{2} + 2(-4)*50$

$V^{2} = 400 - 400$

$V^{2} = 0$

V = 0m/s

<em>Therefore, the displacement of the bus is 50m and its final velocity is 0m/s.</em>

Which of the following is NOT a level of home monitoring?

Bingel [31]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

d. electronic monitoring

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Home monitoring in its simplest term is the act of restricting the movement of an entity, object or an individual to a specified location, usually their homes.

In criminology, there are various levels of home monitoring. Some of them are;

i. <em>Curfew</em>: This type of home monitoring requires that the persons being monitored be indoors/at home at specified hours.

ii. <em>Home incarceration</em>: This level of home monitoring requires that the persons being monitored be indoors/at home at all times except in times of medical urgencies.

iii. <em>Home detention</em>: This seems to be one of the less strict forms of home monitoring. It requires that the persons being monitored be indoors/at home at all times except when necessary. For example, they could go to school, their workplace, to the market and so on.

Electronic monitoring is not a form of home monitoring as it allows the person being monitored to move freely. They might just contacted via telephone or any other means, at intervals to know their whereabouts.
