Answer:

a) 12.4 km

b) 8.8 km

Explanation:

a) Distance is the total space covered by an object in its entire journey.

So, distance = 6.9+1.8+3.7 = 12.4 km

Distance travelled by the whale is 12.4 km

b) Displacement is the minimum distance between the final and initial point of the journey.

Let us take direction towards East as positive and direction towards west positive.

So, Displacement is given by

6.9-1.8+3.7 = 8.8 km

The displacement of the whale is 8.8 km

Blake and Sandra are having a rummage sale. Blake drags 3 boxes a distance of 10 meters each. He exerts a force of 20 newtons on
vampirchik [111]
For Blake:

3 boxes at a distance of 10 meters each, each box weighs 20 N

Work done by Blake = 3 * 10m * 20N
                                 = 600 J
Power = 600 J/ 2 min
           = 300 J/min

For Sandra:

4 boxes, 15 N each at a distance of 12 meters each. 

Work done by Sandra = 4 * 15 N *12m
                                    =  720 J
Power = 720 J/ 4 min
           = 180 J/min

Blake does less work than Sandra. 
Blake's power is more than Sandra's.
