Let volume of empty boat be = 100% = 1V
and mass of boat be M
In water 10%, 0.1V of the volume is submerged.
Mass, m of 1200kg increases the submerging from 10%, 0.1V to 70%, 0.7V
M leads to 0.1V boat submerging
boat submerging.
M + 1200kg leads to 0.7V boat submerging.
This is 60%, 0.6 V increase
By comparison
(M+1200kg) * 0.1V = 0.7V * M
0.1M + 120kg = 0.7M
120kg = 0.7M - 0.1M
120kg = 0.6M
M = (120/0.6)kg
M = 200kg.
The mass of the boat is 200kg.
Distance is a scalar and displacement is a vector
Explanation:
Distance and displacement are two different quantities. Let's review them in detail:
- Distance is a scalar quantity (only a number followed by unit). Distance represents the total length of the path covered by an object during its motion. Therefore, it does not take into account the direction of motion, in its calculation.
- Displacement is a vector quantity, so it has a magnitude, a unit and a direction. Displacement is a vector connecting the initial position to the final position of the motion of an object. Therefore, in its calculation, the direction of motion must be taken into account.
Let's see an example in order to understand distance and displacement better.
Imagine a person moving 5 meters forward and then 2 meters backward. In this case:
- The distance covered by the man is just the total lenght of the path covered, therefore: 5 + 2 = 7 meters
- The displacement of the man is the distance between the initial and final position. Since the man moved 5 m forward and 2 m backward, his final position is 3 meters forward, therefore the displacement is 3 m in the forward direction.

No, it will not fall. The pencil will remain at zero speed relative to the spacecraft and will orbit the earth with the spacecraft.
Your answer would be B, Reflected light! hope this helps
