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

<h2>Weight of astronaut 2450 miles above the Earth is 80.38 pounds</h2>

Explanation:

Given that gravitational force, F, between an object and the Earth is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the object and the center of the Earth.

             F=\frac{k}{r^2}

Where F is gravitational force  between an object and the Earth, r is the distance from the object and the center of the Earth and k is a constant.

Radius of Earth = 4000 miles

In case 1 an astronaut weighs 209 pounds on the surface of the Earth,

              209=\frac{k}{4000^2}\\\\k=3.344\times 10^9

Now we need to find weight of astronaut 2450 miles above the Earth    

              r = 4000 + 2450 = 6450 miles

               F=\frac{k}{6450^2}\\\\F=\frac{3.344\times 10^9}{6450^2}=80.38pounds

Weight of astronaut 2450 miles above the Earth is 80.38 pounds

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

a)t=59.817652833125294s \approx 59.8s

b)D_1=894.01m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Speed of opposing player V_2=4.0m/s

First player chase his opponent aftert=2.80t

Acceleration of  first player a=0.14 m/s2

Let time of catch be  t_c

a)Generally the Equation for distance covered is mathematically given as follows

Distance to catch First opponent

D_1=\frac{1}{2}(0.14)t^2

D_1=0.07t^2

Distance to covered Second opponent

D_2=(2.8+t)*4

Generally when first opponent catch the second opponent it is represented mathematically as

D_2=D_1

0.07t^2=(2.8+t)*4

0.07t^2=11.2+4t

0.07t^2-4t-11.2

t=59.817652833125294s \approx 59.8s

b)Generally the the total time traveled by the first opponent is mathematically given as

D_1=\frac{t^2}{4}

D_1=\frac{59.8^2}{4}

D_1=894.01m
