Answer:
7200 kg.m/s
Explanation:
According the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before and after collision are equal.
Using this principle, the sum of initial momentum will be given as p=mv where p is momentum, m is mass and v is velocity
Initial momentum
Mass of whale*initial velocity of whale + mass of seal*initial seal velocity
Since the seal is initially stationary, its velocity is zero. By substitution and taking right direction as positive
Initial momentum will be
1200*6+(280*0)=7200 kg.m/s
Since both initial and final momentum should be equal, hence the final momentum will also be 7200 kg.m/s

Explanation:
The question is incomplete, as there are no diagrams or options to provide more information to the question.
The general explanation is as follows:
For the object not to move
(1): The forces acting on the object must opposite each other. i.e. if force A acts at the right (or positive direction), force B will act at the left (or negative direction).
(2) The two forces must be equal.
So, for instance:
If the pair of forces are 5N and 5N in opposite directions, the object wil not move.
However, if one of the forces is greater, the object will move towards the direction of the greater force.
Answer:
See the explanation below
Explanation:
Density is defined as the relationship between mass and volume, i.e. the following equation can be used:
density = m/v
where:
density [kg/m^3]
m = mass [kg]
v = volume [m^3]
If we change the volume of a body by reducing its size, its mass will also decrease proportionally with a density as seen in the equation.
m = density*v
To understand this concept more clearly, let's use the following example:
We know that the density of water is equal to 1000 [kg/m^3], that is, 1 cubic meter of water contains 1000 kilograms of water, using the equation.
1000 = m /1
m = 1000*1 = 1000 [kg]
Now if we have 500 kilograms of water, that would pass with the volume so that the density remains constant.
1000 = 500/v
v = 500/1000
v = 0.5 [m^3]
We can see that the volume of water has halved. Since the mass of water was reduced by half. That is, the relationship between mass and volume is proportional to the density of the material or substance.
