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

Two 0.20-kg balls, moving at 4 m/s east, strike a wall. Ball A bounces backwards at the same speed. Ball B stops. Which statemen
muminat

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass m=0.20kg

Velocity v=4m/s

Generally the equation for momentum for Ball A is mathematically given by

Initial Momentum

 M_{a1}=mV

 M_{a1}=0.2*4

 M_{a1}=0.8

Final Momentum

 M_{a2}=-0.8kgm/s

Therefore

 \triangle M_a=-1.6kgm/s

Generally the equation for momentum for Ball B is mathematically given by

Initial Momentum

 M_{b1}=mV

 M_{b1}=0.2*4

 M_{b1}=0.8

Final Momentum

 M_{b2}=-0 kgm/s

Therefore

 |\triangle M_a|>|\triangle Mb|

The mass of the earth is 5.98 1024 kg, the mass of the moon is 7.36 1022 kg, and the distance between the centers of the earth a
Setler [38]

Answer:

 x_{cm} = 4.644 10⁶ m

Explanation:

The center of mass is given by the equation

         x_{cm} = 1 / M_{total}  ∑ x_{i}  m_{i}

Where M_{total} is the total masses of the system, x_{i} is the distance between the particles and m_{i} is the masses of each body

Let's apply this equation to our problem

        M = Me + m

        M = 5.98 10²⁴ + 7.36 10²²

        M = 605.36 10²² kg

Let's locate a reference system located in the center of the Earth

Let's calculate

       x_{cm} = 1 / 605.36 10²²   [Me 0 + 7.36 10²² 3.82 10⁸]

       x_{cm} = 4.644 10⁶ m
