Answer:

B. 1 m/s

Explanation:

Metric unit conversions:

0.3 km = 300m

5 minutes = 5*60 = 300 seconds

So if a seal can reach a depth of 300m in a time of 300 seconds, its diving speed is the distance divided by time duration

v = s/t = 300/300 = 1m/s

So B is the correct answer

Mariana [72]

Answers:

a) 2.82(10)^{21} kg

b) 1410 J

c) 36.62 m/s

Explanation:

<h3>a) Mass of the continent</h3>

Density \rho  is defined as a relation between mass m and volume V:

\rho=\frac{m}{V} (1)

Where:

\rho=2720 kg/m^{3} is the average density of the continent

m is the mass of the continent

V is the volume of the continent, which can be estimated is we assume it as a a slab of rock 5300 km on a side and 37 km deep:

V=(length)(width)(depth)=(5300 km)(5300 km)(37 km)=1,030,330,000 km^{3} \frac{(1000 m)^{3}}{1 km^{3}}=1.03933(10)^{18} m^{3}

Finding the mass:

m=\rho V (2)

m=(2720 kg/m^{3})(1.03933(10)^{18} m^{3}) (3)

m=2.82(10)^{21} kg (4) This is the mass of the continent

<h3>b) Kinetic energy of the continent</h3>

Kinetic energy K is given by the following equation:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} (5)

Where:

m=2.82(10)^{21} kg is the mass of the continent

v=4.8 \frac{cm}{year} \frac{1 m}{100 cm} \frac{1 year}{365 days} \frac{1 day}{24 hours} \frac{1 hour}{3600 s}=1(10)^{-9} m/s is the velocity of the continent

K=\frac{1}{2}(2.82(10)^{21} kg)(1(10)^{-9} m/s)^{2} (6)

K=1410 J (7) This is the kinetic energy of the continent

<h3>c) Speed of the jogger</h3>

If we have a jogger with mass m=77 kg and the same kinetic energy as that of the continent 1413 J, we can find its velocity by isolating v from (5):

v=\sqrt{\frac{2 K}{m}} (6)

v=\sqrt{\frac{2 (1413 J)}{77 kg}}

Finally:

v=36.62 m/s This is the speed of the jogger

Cause Impulse is found by multiplying the force and change in time (which is simply time)
So if you rearrange the equation for time you end up dividing Impulse by force.

Two positive point charges, each of which has a charge of 2.5 × 10−9 C, are located at y = + 0.50m and y = − 0.50m. Find the mag
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

F = 147,78*10⁻⁹ [N]

Explanation:

By symmetry the Fy components of the forces acting on charge in point x = 0,7 m canceled each other, and the total force will be twice Fx ( Fx is x axis component of one of the forces .

The angle β  ( angle between the line running through one of the charges in y axis and the charge in x axis) is

tan β  =  0,5/0,7

tan β  = 0,7142    then   β = arctan 0,7142      ⇒   β = 35 ⁰

cos  β = 0,81

d = √ (0,5)²  +  (0,7)²       d1stance between charges

d = √0,25 + 0,49

d =  √0,74  m

d = 0,86  m

Now Foce between two charges  is:

F  = K* q₁*q₂/ d²      (1)

Where  K  = 9*10⁹ N*m²/C²

q₁  =  2,5* 10⁻⁹C

q₂  = 3,0*10⁻⁹C

d²  = 0,74 m²

Plugging these values in (1)

F  =  9*10⁹* 2,5* 10⁻⁹*3,0*10⁻⁹ / 0,74       [N*m²/C²]*C*C/m²

F = 91,21 * 10⁻⁹   [N]

And  Fx  =  F*cos  β

Fx  =  91,21 * 10⁻⁹ *0,81

Fx =73,89*10⁻⁹  [N]

Then total force acting on charge located at x = 0,7 m is:

F = 2* Fx

F = 2*73,89*10⁻⁹  [N]

F = 147,78*10⁻⁹ [N]
