Answer:
a) 3673469.39 seconds
b) 6.61×10¹⁴ m
Explanation:
t = Time taken
u = Initial velocity
v = Final velocity = 0.12×3×10⁸ m/s
s = Displacement
a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
Equation of motion

Time taken to reach 12% of light speed is 3673469.39 seconds

The distance it would have to travel is 6.61×10¹⁴ m
A 'displacement' always consists of a magnitude and a direction. The two cars you just described have displacements with the same magnitude ... 5 km. But if they didn't both drive in the same direction, then their displacements are different.
Remember:
-- 10 m/s² up and 10 m/s² down are different accelerations
-- 30 mph East and 30 mph West are the same speed but different velocity.
-- 5 km North and 5 km South are the same distance but different displacement.
Attenuation is the correct answer.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Water level remains unchanged
The first thing to realize is that the buoyancy force is the same as, or equal to the weight of the wood, this same force is also the same as or equal to the weight of the water displaced by the wood. In the two cases, the weight of the wood will be unaffected nonetheless, and thus the water level will remain the same.
Therefore, the answer is B, the water level remains unchanged.
