Term 2 : Lesson 3 6. DISTANCE AND DISPLACEMENT Distance is the known distance as it is measured with the distance meter of a vehicle every day. Displacement is the straight line distance between two points independent of the route that was followed on a road map. Example: The route from A to B travels from A to R,T,K up until B: Distance: 2km + 4km + 3km + 1km = 10km The displacement from A to B is only 6,5km East.

Term 2 : Lesson 3
6. DISTANCE AND DISPLACEMENT
Distance is the known distance as it is measured with the distance meter of a vehicle every
day.
Displacement is the straight line distance between two points independent of the route that
was followed on a road map.
Example: The route from A to B travels from A to R,T,K up until B:
Study Figure 1 and then answer the questions. Bestudeer Figuur 1 en beantwoord dan die vrae noukeurig
Figure / Figuur 1
1. Calculate the distance between point A and E if you follow the route. Bereken die afstand tussen punt A en E as jy die hele roete volg. (3)
2. Calculate the displacement between A and C. Bereken die verplasing tussen A en C. (1)
3. What is the displacement if you travel from A all around the route right back to A again? Wat is die verplasing as jy beweeg vanaf A reg rondom die roete terug na A toe?
(1)
4. What is the distance between B and D via C? Wat is die afstand tussen B en D via C? (2)
5. What is the displacement between B and D? Wat is die verplasing tussen B en D? (1)
6. Draw a diagram with the following vectors and then answer the questions. Teken ‘n diagram met die volgende vektore en beantwoord dan die vrae.
Scale / skaal 1cm = 2m
A = 20m North / Noord B = 15m East / Oos C = 4m South / Suid D = 10m East / Oos E = 6m South / Suid F = 12 West / Wes (6)

In this term we will focus on four topics:
1) World of work
2) History of money
3) Constitutional rights of/and health, social and environmental responsibilities
When we combine materials, new materials are made. The properties of the new materials are often different from the properties of the materials we started with.
There are many ways to process existing materials into new materials. There are also many reasons why we would need to process materials into new materials.
When we bake a cake, we are processing flour, eggs and other ingredients (that may not taste very nice on their own) into a cake which tastes really good.
We process materials to make them stronger, or more durable, or waterproof, or even just to make them look more beautiful or
2
interesting. New materials that form after mixing different materials are sometimes called alloys.
Combining materials
We have learned that iron rusts over time, and that this process speeds up when the iron is in contact with water. Have you ever noticed rust on the knives and forks in your home? Probably not. That is because they are not made of iron but of stainless steel. But what is stainless steel?
Stainless steel is made by combining iron with other metals to make it stronger and to prevent rust. Processing iron with other metals to turn it into stainless steel means we can use it even in wet environments. Water taps and pipes are sometimes made of steel. Some of the instruments that doctors use to operate on sick people are made of steel, and so are the pots and pans that we use when we prepare food.
Mixing
Often, when we mix materials together, the properties of the new material or product is different from the properties of the materials we started with.
Mixing and setting
To make jelly, we must dissolve jelly powder in hot water. When the solution of jelly powder in water cools down,
3
sometime very special happens: the solution sets, and turns into a delightfully wobbly, sweet treat. The jelly powder has been processed into something new.
Jelly is not the only material that sets. We are going to investigate another material that sets shortly.
Have you ever watched builders mix concrete when they want to build a wall or a house?
Builders mix sand and water with building cement. The mixture is called concrete. Concrete is like mud when it is wet, but when it dries out it sets into a hard, strong material. Concrete can be used to make bricks and pavements and to plaster walls.
The picture below shows a machine called a cement mixer. This machine mixes all the ingredients by turning mechanically, like an electric food mixer. Electrical energy does the work required for mixing the concrete.

Real bricks are actually made by firing the bricks in a special oven called a kiln to bake them and harden it. A potter is someone who makes objects such as pots out of wet clay. Once they have dried and have been fired, the clay becomes hard.
These clay pots have been dried and have been loaded into a kiln to be fired.
We have learned that we can make materials stronger if we add other materials to them. When we make certain materials stronger by adding other materials, we say we are reinforcing it.
Mixing and cooking
Cooking food is also a form of processing. Have you ever seen what a raw egg looks like? The same egg looks quite different
5
when it is baked. Notice how the egg white is transparent when it is raw and white when it is baked. When it is raw, the egg is runny, like liquid. When it is baked, the egg is solid but soft like rubber or soft plastic.

Worksheet 5: Reinforcing concrete
Instructions:
Look at the picture of a piece of concrete wall below.
The concrete looks as if there are pebbles (small stones) embedded in it.
1. Can you see that there are things embedded in the concrete? What do you think they are?
Look at the next picture. It shows a floor is being prepared for reinforcement with steel bars.
5. The floor in the picture is inside a garage. Why do you think the concrete needs to be reinforced with steel bars? (Hint: why would the garage floor need to be extra strong?)
