List 2 economic factors which may be affected by the movement of people from country areas to city areas.

less people in rural communities therefore businesses in these area will struggle


rural areas may find it difficult for jobs to be filled in farming etc.

more people in the city means economy may increase in city areas

rents / housing affordability in city areas may be difficult.

A drone travels a total distance of 200 km North in 8 hours. During its flight it travelled at a constant velocity of 35 km/h North for 4.5 hours. The drone then instantaneously reduced its speed, to a lower constant speed for the remainder of the northwards journey.

Determine the lower constant speed (in km/h) at which the drone flew.

12.14 km/h

What is the difference between an OR gate and a XOR gate?

OR is either input A or B as a 1 will produce an output or A and B as a 1 will produce an output as well.

XOR is either input A or B as a 1 will produce an output, but A and B as a 1 will not produce an output.
