. A whale swims due east for a distance of 6.9 km, turns around and goes due west for 1.8 km, and finally turns around again and

heads 3.7 km due east, (a) What is the total distance traveled by the whale? (b) What are the magnitude and direction of the displacement of the whale?

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

sp2606 [1]

Theoritically

the body moving with uniform velocity has acceleration zero.

Mathmatically,

u=3m/s

v=3m/s (since body is moving with uniform velocity)

a= v-u/t

3-3/t

0/t

0m/s.s

The net torce on an object moving with constant speed in circular motion is in which direction?
aleksley [76]

The correct answer is C) towards the center of the circle.

Although the object is moving at a constant speed it is constantly accelerating due to the constant change in direction as it describes the circular path. This causes a constant change in velocity as velocity is a vector quantity.

For the object to maintain the circular path there has to be centripetal force acting on the object and this centripetal force is directed towards the center of the circle.

How are energy and mass connected during the formation of an atom? Energy is absorbed, so the mass is increased. Energy is relea
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Energy is absorbed, so the mass is reduced.

Explanation:

The relationship between the mass and the energy is given by Einstein formula as :

E=mc^2

m is the mass of an atom

c is the speed of light

When an atom is formed, the energy gets absorbed. As a result mass will decrease as per Einstein's equation. So, the correct option is (c) "Energy is absorbed, so the mass is reduced".

A 120-kg object and a 420-kg object are separated by 3.00 m At what position (other than an infinitely remote one) can the 51.0-
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

1.045 m from 120 kg

Explanation:

m1 = 120 kg

m2 = 420 kg

m = 51 kg

d = 3 m

Let m is placed at a distance y from 120 kg so that the net force on 51 kg is zero.

By use of the gravitational force

Force on m due to m1 is equal to the force on m due to m2.

\frac{Gm_{1}m}{y^{2}}=\frac{Gm_{2}m}{\left ( d-y \right )^{2}}

\frac{m_{1}}{y^{2}}=\frac{m_{2}}{\left ( d-y \right )^{2}}

\frac{3-y}{y}=\sqrt{\frac{7}{2}}

3 - y = 1.87 y

3 = 2.87 y

y = 1.045 m

Thus, the net force on 51 kg is zero if it is placed at a distance of 1.045 m from 120 kg.
