The whale shark the largest of fish and can have the mass of three adult elephants. Suppose that a crane is whale shark into a t

Answer:

Mass, m = 20000 kg

Explanation:

The force acting on the shark, F=2.5\times 10^4\ N

Acceleration of the shark, a = 1.25 m/s²

We need to find the mass of the Shark. The force acting on an object is given by :

F = ma

m is the shark's mass

So,

m=\dfrac{F}{a}\\\\m=\dfrac{2.5\times 10^4}{1.25}\\\\m=20000\ kg

So, the mass of the Shark is 20000 kg.

A ball is thrown straight up in the air. Which of these statements about its kinetic energy is true?A ball is thrown straight up
alexgriva [62]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The statement that is true about the kinetic energy would be that the <span>ball has the least kinetic energy at the top of its flight. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

A scientist testing to see how a cat “always” lands on their feet drops a cat upside down out of a third story window at a heigh
makkiz [27]

<u>Answer: </u>

Cat has 2.02 seconds to right itself.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Initial height of cat from ground = 20 meter.

We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

In this the velocity of cat in vertical direction = 0 m/s, acceleration = acceleration due to gravity =  9.8 m/s^2, we need to calculate time when s = 20 meter.

Substituting

20=0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ t = 2.02 seconds

So, cat has 2.02 seconds to right itself.
