Answer:

It is 68.404 m deep.

Explanation:

The motion of the whale can be seen in the form of a right-angle triangle.

Angle of deviation = 20°

We know that, sinФ = Perpendicular/ Hypotenuse.

Here, hypotenuse = 200 m

Depth is perpendicular that we have to find.

sin(20°) = Depth/200

Depth = sin(20°) * 200 = 68.404 meters.

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The depth is 68.4 meters. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In this question the whale rose to the surface of the ocean to breath and then dives into the ocean at an angle of 20° below the horizontal line. It then travels 200 m straight along this line. We have to determine the <em>depth of the ocean. </em>

The path of the whale forms the <em>hypotenuse of a right triangle</em> and the angle between the hypotenuse and base is given as 20°.  Determination of sides or angles in a right triangle can be determines using trigonometry.  

<em>sinθ = \frac{(opposite \ side)}{hypotenuse} </em>

<em>opposite side = sinθ\times hypotenuse</em>

<em>Here θ = 20°  </em>

<em>sinθ = sin(20°) = 0.342 </em>

<em>opposite side= 0.342 \times 200 = 68.4 m  </em>

<em>Hence the depth is 68.4 m. </em>

Jessica stretches her arms out 0.60 m from the center of her body while holding a 2.0 kg mass in each hand. She then spins aroun
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

a.) L = 2.64 kgm^2/s

b.) V = 4.4 m/s

Explanation: Jessica stretches her arms out 0.60 m from the center of her body. This will be considered as radius.

So,

Radius r = 0.6 m

Mass M = 2 kg

Velocity V = 1.1 m/s

Angular momentum L can be expressed as;

L = MVr

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

L = 2 × 1.1 × 0.6 = 1.32kgm^2s^-1

the combined angular momentum of the masses will be 2 × 1.32 = 2.64 kgm^2s-1

b. If she pulls her arms into 0.15 m,

New radius = 0.15 m

Using the same formula again

L = 2( MVr)

2.64 = 2( 2 × V × 0.15 )

1.32 = 0.3 V

V = 1.32/0.3

V = 4.4 m/s

Her new linear speed will be 4.4 m/s

What state of matter takes the shape and volume of its container, like the steam coming from a pot A) gas B) liquid Eliminate C)
Gnoma [55]

Ummm gas takes the shape and volume of its container, but I don't know about plasma. Solids definitely don't, and liquids don't change their volumes. So I would say gas. :)

Anna11 [10]

You are asked to calculate an object's velocity.


In order to do so, you must know the object's speed and the direction

in which it's moving, or you must have other information that makes it

possible for you to calculate its speed and direction.

Which graph below represents how the velocity of the sphere changes over time when falling with constant acceleration?
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Graph B represents the velocity of the sphere changes over time when falling with constant acceleration.

  • Acceleration is the measure of how quickly a body's velocity varies with regard to time, and constant acceleration occurs when a body's velocity changes proportionately over a period of time, or at a constant rate. It measures in m/s2.
  • It is claimed that a body has continual positive acceleration when it begins to move with an initial velocity of zero and gradually increases to a positive value over time.
  • Constant positive acceleration is demonstrated by a ball falling freely in a vertical direction.
