What is distance and direction of an object from its starting point

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The distance and direction of an object from its starting point is called displacement. The main difference between distance and displacement is the consideration of distance in displacement. Distance is a scalar quantity, while displacement is a vector quantity. Scalar quantities don't take note of direction, while vector quantities do.

When an object is translated, its image is the same size as the pre-image.a. True
b. False

Answers

This is true. Unlike the answer above, I disagree. A translation is simply sliding the shape across a graph. It doesn't change the size, shape, or orientation- the coordinates are the only thing that change. A dilation changes the size of a shape, not a translation.

False, Because there is some cases where enlarged image needed.

Answers

Answer:

Choice C is correct: The sentence is correct as it is.

Explanation:

Let us go through each of the answer choices one by one.

Choice A: Hurricanes can cause a lot of damage, because of high winds, rain, and storm surge.

This sentence places inappropriate comma in the underlined region (..damage, because..) which interrupts the flow of the sentence. Thus this choice cannot be correct.

Choice B: Hurricanes can cause a lot of damage because, of high winds, rain, and storm surge.

This sentence places inappropriate comma in the underlined (...because, of...) region which interrupts the flow of the sentence. Thus this choice cannot be correct.

Choice C: The sentence is correct as is.

The original sentence uses comma's in the proper places—it uses them to list the causes of hurricane damage—and therefore it does not needs to be modified, and thus this choice is correct.
