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>

A 2.0 kg mass weighs 10 Newtons on planet X. what is the acceleration due to gravity on planet X? Show the work.
KengaRu [80]

Answer: The gravitational acceleration on planet X is 5 N/kg

On Earth (with the gravitational accelartion g_E) the mass of 2kg will correspond to

F_E = m\cdot g_E = 2.0 \mbox{kg}\cdot 9.8 \frac{N}{kg} = 19.6 N

On planet X we are told the same measure is only 10N. Since there is a proportional relationship between g and F, we can calculate g_X:

\frac{F_E}{g_E}=\frac{F_X}{g_X} \implies\\g_x = \frac{g_E\cdot F_X}{F_E}=\frac{9.8 N/kg \cdot 10 N }{19.6N}=5 \frac{N}{kg}

The graph below is called a heating curve. It shows how water changes from one state of matter to another based on temperature a
Neporo4naja [7]

Explanation :

The heating curve shows how water changes from one state of matter to another based on temperature and the addition or removal of heat over time.

Initially, ice is heated until its temperature reaches 0^0\ C and changes to liquid state.

From the attached graph it is clear that until 100^0\ C the temperature will rise steadily. Here, the liquid begins to vaporize. Vaporization is the state of matter at which liquid state changes to the gaseous state.

So, E is the point which shows the gaseous state.

Answer:

Interchangeable is something that can be used in the same manner as something else without any important differences.

or in a more simple way

something that can be exchange

For example when two sweaters look almost the same and you could easily wear either one with a particular skirt, this is an example of when the sweaters can be worn interchangeably.
