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

telo118 [61]

Answer:

Average speed is 60 km/hr whereas average velocity is 0 km/ hr.

Explanation:

The average speed of the boat is 60 km/ hr while on the other hand, the average velocity of the boat is 0 km/ hr because average speed is the total distance covered by the boat in total time and average velocity is the displacement covered by the boat in total time. The total distance covered by the boat is 60 km and the total time is 60 minutes which is equals to one hour so the answer is 60 km/hr whereas the displacement is the shortest distance between initial and final position which is 0 in this case so 0 divided by 60 minutes or one hour is also 0.

A key falls from a bridge that is 45 m above the water. It falls directly into a model boat, moving with constant velocity, that
guapka [62]

Answer:

4m/s

Explanation:

The motion is in downward direction, and the boat is moving with constant velocity, the position of the boat horizontally is 12m before the key fall.

The height difference "h"= ( y- y°)= 45 m

We can determine the needed time the key requires to reach the water using the expression from Newton's law

h= v(o) + 1/2 at^2

g= acceleration due to gravity= 9.8m/s^2

h= v(o) + 1/2 gt^2 -------------------------eqn*)

V(o)= 0 for the key= initial velocity

h= height that the key falls= 45m

If we substitute the above values into eqn(*) we have

We can make t^2 subject of the formula since v(0)= 0

t^2= h/(1/2 g)

= 45/(1/2× 9.8)

t^2= 45/4.9=9.18

t= √9.18

t=3.03 secs

Since the boat was moving with constant velocity,

Then Velocity= distance/ time

= 12/3.03

Velocity= 4m/s

Hence, the speed of the boat is 4m/s

A motorcycle stops at a red light and then gains a speed of 12 m/s in 15s. What's its acceleration?
erastova [34]

Option a) 0.8 m/s² is the correct answer

the acceleration of the motorcycle is 0.8 m/s²

Given the data in the question;

Since the motorcycle stopped then, initial speed u = 0 m/s

final speed v = 12 m/s

time t = 15 s

acceleration = ?

To get our acceleration, we use the first equation of motion.

This equation states that;

v = u + at

so, we simply substitute in our given values

12 m/s = 0 m/s + ( a * 15s )

12 m/s = ( a * 15 s )

so we find a

a = \frac{12m/s}{15s}

a = 0.8 m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the motorcycle is 0.8 m/s²

Option a) 0.8 m/s² is the correct answer
