Whale sharks swim forward while ascending or descending. They swim along a straight-line path at a shallow angle as they move fr

om the surface to deep water or from the depths to the surface. In one recorded dive, a shark started 50 m below the surface and swam at 0.85 m/s along a path tipped at a 13° angle above the horizontal until reaching the surface.
Required:
a. What was the horizontal distance between the shark's starting and ending positions?
b. What was the total distance that the shark swam?
c. How much time did this motion take?

Answer:

a)217m

b)222m

c)261s  

Explanation:

Considering the figure in the attachment

depth 'h'=50m

speed 'v'=0.85m/s

angle 'θ'=13°

a) we have

\frac{h}{x}=tanθ

x = h / tanθ => 50/tan13°

x=216.57≈217m

b)we have

\frac{h}{d}=sinθ

d=h / sinθ => 50 / sin13°

d=222.27≈222m

c)Time needed = d / v = 222/0.85

                          261.18≈261s

The gas in a cylinder has a volume of 5 liters at a pressure of 115 kPa. The pressure of the gas is increased to 211 kPa. Assumi
stira [4]
We know the initial pressure and volume, the final pressure, and the temperature is constant, Using the G.U.E.S.S. method we can express the problem like this:                                             
Givens: V_1=5 L, P_1= 115kPa, P_2= 211kPa&#10;
Unknown: V_2 
Equation:  \frac{V_1P_1}{P_2}=V_2
Substitute: \frac{5L*115kPa}{211kPa}= V_2
Solve: \frac{5L*115kPa}{211kPa}= 2.73 or 2.72L

      In conclusion, your answer is either 2.73 kPa if you round or 2.72 kPa if you don't. Hope you learned from it.
