B. 1 m/s. Converting metric units: 0.3 km equals 300 m, and 5 minutes translates to 300 seconds. Thus, if a seal descends to 300 m in 300 seconds, its diving speed is calculated as distance over time: v = s/t = 300/300 = 1 m/s. Therefore, option B is correct.

A shuttle on Earth has a mass of 4.5 E 5 kg. Compare its weight on Earth to its weight while in orbit at a height of 6.3 E 5 met
ValentinkaMS [3091]

Response:

83%

Clarification:

At the surface, the weight can be expressed as:

W = GMm / R²

where G denotes the gravitational constant, M represents the Earth's mass, m signifies the shuttle's mass, and R is the Earth's radius.

When in orbit, the weight is given by:

w = GMm / (R+h)²

where h indicates the shuttle's altitude above Earth's surface.

The weight ratio is as follows:

w/W = R² / (R+h)²

w/W = (R / (R+h))²

For R = 6.4×10⁶ m and h = 6.3×10⁵ m:

w/W = (6.4×10⁶ / 7.03×10⁶)²

w/W = 0.83

Thus, the shuttle maintains 83% of its weight as it orbits.

A transverse wave on a string has an amplitude A. A tiny spot on the string is colored red. As one cycle of the wave passes by,
Sav [2826]
Since it's classified as a transverse wave, the particle on the string moves horizontally as the wave progresses, without actual forward or backward travel. Consequently, the red dot shifts 'A' to the left, returns 'A' to the center, moves 'A' to the right, and goes back 'A' to the center once again. Thus, the red dot collectively travels a distance totaling 4A.

A 6V radio with a current of 2A is turned on for 5 minutes. Calculate the energy transferred in joules
ValentinkaMS [3091]

Answer:

R=V/I=6/2=3 ohm

time = 5 minutes = 5*60=300 seconds

I=2 A

Energy = I²Rt=(2)²*3*300=4*900=3600 J

a 75 kg man is standing at rest on ice while holding a 4kg ball. if the man throws the ball at a velocity of 3.50 m/s forward, w
Keith_Richards [2907]

Answer:

The resulting velocity for him will be 0.187 m/s in reverse direction.

Explanation:

Given:

The mass of the man is, M=75\ kg

The mass of the ball is, m=4\ kg

The initial velocity of the man is, u_m=0\ m/s(rest)

The initial velocity of the ball is, u_b=0\ m/s(rest)

The final velocity of the ball is, v_b=3.50\ m/s

The final velocity of the man is, v_m=?\ m/s

To determine this scenario, we employ the principle of momentum conservation.

This principle states that the total initial momentum equals the total final momentum.

Momentum is calculated by multiplying mass by velocity.

Initial momentum = Initial momentum of the man and the ball

Initial momentum = Mu_m+mu_b=75\times 0+4\times 0 =0\ Nm

Final momentum = Final momentum of the man and the ball

Final momentum = Mv_m+mv_b=75\times v_m+4\times 3.50 =75v_m+14

Hence, the total initial momentum equals the total final momentum

0=75v_m+14\\\\75v_m=-14\\\\v_m=\frac{-14}{75}\\\\v_m=-0.187\ m/s

The negative sign indicates that the man moves backward.

Thus, his final velocity ends up being 0.187 m/s backward.
