I went for a walk one day. I walked north 6.0 km at 6.0 km/h and then west 10 km at 5.0 km/hr. Determine the total distance of the entire trip

The total distance of the entire trip is 16 Km

Explanation:

Distance and Displacement

A moving object constantly travels for some distance at certain periods of time. The total distance is the sum of each individual distance the object traveled. It can be written as:

dtotal = d1 + d2 + d3 + ... + dn

This sum is obtained independently of the direction the object moves.

The displacement only takes into consideration the initial and final positions of the path defined by the object in its moving. The displacement, unlike distance, is a vectorial magnitude and can be even zero if the object starts and ends the movement at the same point.

The described movements are 6 Km North and 10 Km West. Regardless of the speed or time taken, the total distance is:

d = 6 Km + 10 Km = 16 Km

The total distance of the entire trip is 16 Km

when a device is used in a circuit in which the voltage is 81 v, the current flowing through the device is 3 a. what is the resistance of the device?

a. 27 ω

b. 40.5 a

c. 243 ω

d. 243 a

the correct answer is a. 27
