Given that,

A whale dives at an angle of 24 degrees to the horizontal surface of the water.

The whale continues in a straight line 145 m.

To find,

The horizontal and vertical components of the displacement of the whale.

Solution,

The horizontal component of displacement is :

d_x=d\cos\theta\\\\=145\times \cos(24)\\\\=132.46\ m

The vertical component of displacement is :

d_y=d\sin\theta\\\\=145\times \sin(24)\\\\=58.97\ m

<h3>Hence, the horizontal and vertical components of the displacement of the whale are 132.46 m and 58.97 m.</h3>

Sedaia [141]

Answer: Please find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

Under what circumstances does distance traveled equal magnitude of displacement?

When a body's motion is linear in one direction. Or a body moving in a straight line without turning back.

What is the only case in which magnitude of displacement and distance are exactly the same?

When the body is moving in a straight line with without changing direction or without turning back.

Explain why a battery causes charge to flow spontaneously when the battery is inserted in a circuit
deff fn [24]
Batteries supply electrons to the circuit by releasing negatively charged atoms or ions. These ions are produced by the batteries through a chemical reaction that spontaneously occurs within the battery. So the negative end of the battery pushes the ions towards the positive end of the circuit with the help of the voltage. This is why eventually, batteries "run out" when the electrode is used up and the chemical reaction can no longer continue.

Consider three identical electric bulbs of power P. Two of bulbs are connected in series and the third one is connected in paral
Tamiku [17]

Answer: 3P/2

Explanation: Let the resistance of the bulbs be R.

now lets consider a Voltage V is supplied to the parallel circuit  such that

P=VI=V^2/R

V=IR

both single bulb( bulb 3) and the two bulbs ( bulb 1 and bulb 2) are provided the same Voltage

( as the voltage remains same in parallel circuit)

we can calculate the Current across both circuits

At Bulb 3

Current 1=V/R

Power1=Voltage * Current1

Power1=V*V/R

Power1=P

At Bulb 1 and Bulb 2

Total Resistance= R+R=2R

Current2=\frac{V}{2R}

Power2=Voltage * Current2

Power2=V*\frac{V}{2R} \\Power2=\frac{V^2}{2R} \\Power2=P/2

TotalPower=Power1+Power2\\TotalPower=P+P/2\\TotalPower=\frac{3P}{2}
