Blue to gray in color and reaching up to 10 feet (3.05 meters) in length and 220 pounds (99.8 kilograms) in weight, the sailfish

is considered the fastest marine creature. These streamlined beasts have been clocked at 68 miles per hour (30.4 meters per second). How far does the sailfish travel in 2 minutes?

Answer:

the distance traveled by the fish is 3648 m

Explanation:

In general, animals have a small period of acceleration, which we will despise after which they travel at a constant speed so we can use the kinematic equations in uniform motion

We reduce the units to System SI

t = 2 min (60s / 1 min) = 120 s

Calculate

V = x / t

x= V t

x = 30.4 120

x = 3648 m

This is the distance traveled by the fish

Near the surface of Earth an electric field points radially downward and has a magnitude of approximately 100 N/C. What charge (

pentagon [3]

Answer:

$q=2.997\times 10^{-4}$ C

Sign-Negative

Explanation:

We are given that

Electric field = $E=100NC^{-1}$ (Radially downward)

Acceleration= $0.19 ms^{-2}$ (Upward)

Mass of charge=3 g= $3\times 10^{-3}$ kg

1kg=1000g

We have to find the magnitude and sign of charge would have to be placed on a penny .

By newton's second law

$\sum F_y=ma$

$\sum F_y=qE-mg$

Substitute the values then we get

$qE-mg=ma$

Substitute the values then we get

$q(100)-3\times 10^{-3}(9.8)=3\times 10^{-3}(0.19)$

$100q-29.4\times 10^{-3}=0.57\times 10^{-3}$

$100q=0.57\times 10^{-3}+29.4\times 10^{-3}=29.97\times 10^{-3}$

$q=\frac{29.97\times 10^{-3}}{100}$

$q=2.997\times 10^{-4}$ C

Sign of charge =Negative

Because electric force acting in opposite direction of electric field therefore,charge on penny will be negative.

Which of the following is a false statement? Select one:

Art [367]

Answer:

The false statement is in option 'd': The center of mass of an object must lie within the object.

Explanation:

Center of mass is a theoretical point in a system of particles where the whole mass of the system is assumed to be concentrated.

Mathematically the position vector of center of mass is defined as

$\overrightarrow{r}_{com}=\int \overrightarrow{r}_{i}dm$

where,

$\overrightarrow{r}_{i}$ is the position vector of the mass dm.

As we can see for homogenous symmetrical objects such as a sphere,cube,disc the center of mass is located at the centroid of the shapes itself but in many shapes it is located outside the body also.

Examples of shapes in which center of mass is located outside the body:

1) Horseshoe shaped body.

2) A thin ring.

In many cases we can make shapes of bodies whose center of mass lies outside the body.

The electric potential difference across the membrane of a body cell is 0.070 V (higher on the outside than on the inside). The

12345 [234]

Answer:

The electric field is $8.75 \times 10^{6}~v~m^{-1}$ and the ditection is from outer to inner side of the membrane.

Explanation:

We know the electric field ( $\vec{E}$ ) is given by $\vec{E} = - \nabla V$ , 'V' being the potential.

In 1-D, it can be written as

$E=\dfrac{V}{d}$

where 'd' is the separation of space in between the potential difference is created.

Given, $V = 0.070~V~$ and the thickness of the cell membrane is $d = 8.0 \times 10^{-9}~m$ .

Therefore the created electric field through the cell membrane is

$E = \dfrac{0.07~V}{8 \times 10^{-9}~m} = 8.75 \times 10^{6}~m~s^{-1}$
