Answer:

Explanation:

a) Total distance traveled by the whale = 6.9 km + 1.8 km + 3.7 km = 12.4 km

b) the magnitude and the direction of the displacement of the whale = 6.9 km due east - 1.8 km due west = 5.1 due east

it final displacement = 5.1 km due east + 3.7 k due east = 8.8 km due east

c) average speed in km / hr = total distance traveled / total time = 12.4 km / 0.5 hr ( 30 min/ 60 min × 1 hr) = 24.8 km / hr

d) average velocity in km / h = total displacement / total time = 8.8 km / 0.5 h = 17.6 km/h

Within a period of the periodic table, how do the properties of the elements vary?
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Elements in the same period have the same number of electron shells; moving across a period (so progressing from group to group), elements gain electrons and protons and become less metallic. This arrangement reflects the periodic recurrence of similar properties as the atomic number increases.

Explanation:

The Periodic Table can predict the properties of new elements, because it organizes the elements according to their atomic numbers. ... They hope that the two nuclei at the centre of these atoms will fuse and form a heavier nucleus. When these heavy elements form, they are usually highly unstable.

What is the angular speed of (a) the second hand, (b) the minute hand, and (c) the hour hand of a smoothly running analog watch?
Agata [3.3K]
A)We know the formula of the angular speed is                 ω = 2π / TWhere T is the time period.When second hand completes one revolution then the time taken is 60s.So T = 60sThen the angular speed of the second hand is          ω= 2π / (60s)             = 0.1047 rad/sb)When the minute hand completes one revolution the time taken is             T = 1 hr                = 3600sThen the angular speed of the minute hand is         ω =(2π) / (3600s) = 0.001745 rad/sc)When the hour hand completes one revolution then the timeperiod is          T = 12hrs             = (12)(3600)sThen the angular speed of the hour hand is         ω =(2π) / [(12)(3600)s] = 1.45444 x 10^-4 rad/s
