A whale swims due east for a distance of 6.9 km, turns around and goes due west for 1.8 km, and finally turns around again and h

eads 3.7 km due east. (a) What is the total distance traveled by the whale? (b) What are the magnitude and direction (east or west) of the displacement of the whale? If it takes 30.0 min for the whole trip, (c)What is the average speed in km/h for the whole trip ? (d)What is the average velocity (magnitude and direction) in km/h for the whole trip?

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

A 500.-kg roller coaster car starts from rest at the top of a 60.0-meter hill.
Paraphin [41]

1.47x10^5 Joules  
The gravitational potential energy will be the mass of the object, multiplied by the height upon which it can drop, multiplied by the local gravitational acceleration. And since it started at the top of a 60.0 meter hill, halfway will be at 30.0 meters. So  
500 kg * 30.0 m * 9.8 m/s^2 = 147000 kg*m^2/s^ = 147000 Joules.  
Using scientific notation and 3 significant figures gives 1.47x10^5 Joules.

What is the relationship between thickness of lens and focal length?​
Ymorist [56]

Thick lens will have shorter and consequently thin lens will have greater focal length. Because, For a thick lens, the optical path length of the light is more, than for a thin lens, thus, the bending of light will be more in case of a thicker lens. Consequently, it has a shorter focal length.

The prediction that alcohol slows reaction time is:_________.
ddd [48]

Answer:

b) directional

Explanation:

The prediction that alcohol slows reaction time is Directional . This is because for alcohol to be known as one which slows reaction time means there have been various hypothesis conducted which supports this.

In this case, formulation of a null hypothesis is usually necessary which means that alcohol does not slow reaction time and another alternative hypothesis that suggests that alcohol slows reaction time.
