Refer to the diagram shown below.
Still-water speed = 9.5 m/s
River speed = 3.75 m/s down stream.
The velocity of the swimmer relative to the bank is the vector sum of his still-water speed and the speed of the river.
The velocity relative to the bank is
V = √(9.5² + 3.75²) = 10.21 m/s
The downstream angle is
θ = tan⁻¹ 3.75/9.5 = 21.5°
Answer: 10.2 m/s at 21.5° downstream.
C and d are the right answers
An object has undergone acceleration if ...
-- it's moving faster than it was before
or
-- it's moving slower than it was before
or
-- it's moving in a different direction that it was before.
Answer:
75.71 m/s
Explanation:
From equation of motion, acceleration is given by
where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity and t is time taken.
Making v the subject of the above formula
v=at+u
Substituting 6.7 s for time, t and 11.3 for a and taking u as zero since it starts from rest
v=11.3*6.7=75.71 m/s
