If the current takes him downstream we must find the resultant vector of the velocities:
Then if the river is 3000 m-wide the swimmer will have to pass:
1.3520747 · 300 = 4056.14 m t = 4056.14 m : 1 m/s
a ) It takes
4056.15 seconds ( 1 hour 7 minutes and 36 seconds ) to cross the river.
b ) 0.91 · 3000 =
2730 mHe will be 2730 m downstream.
Answer: 10.3m/s
Explanation:
In theory and for a constant velocity the physics expression states that:
Eq(1): distance = velocity times time <=> d = v*t for v=constant.
If we solve Eq (1) for the velocity (v) we obtain:
Eq(2): velocity = distance divided by time <=> v = d/t
Substituting the known values for t=15s and d=155m we get:
v = 155 / 15 <=> v = 10.3
Answer:
The specific latent heat (L) of a material is a measure of the heat energy (Q) per mass (m) released or absorbed during a phase change.
It's defined through the formula Q = mL.
Explanation:
Answer:
The water releases energy which causes the water molecules to have less kinetic and potential energy, changing their configuration from liquid to solid.
Explanation:
The conversion of water to ice is a phase change from liquid to solid. There is no chemical action taking place in this process just the state of matter taking up a new form.
- This phase change is called freezing.
- In freezing, the liquid water loses energy to the surroundings.
- By so doing, the water molecules have lesser energy
- The then take up fixed position within the lattice.
- This changes the state to solid with a well - ordered arrangement.
To answer this item, we assume that the gas being referred to here is an ideal gas such that it follows the Gay-Lussac's law wherein,
P = kT
The equation shows the direct relationship between the pressure and the temperature. Thus, if heat is added which would consequently raise the substance's temperature, will also increase the pressure.
