A swimmer is capable of swimming 1.20 m/s in still water. (a) if she aims her body directly across a 150-m-wide river whose curr

ent is 0.55 m/s, how far downstream (from a point opposite her starting point) will she land?

Velocity of swimmer in still water = Velocity along width of river = 1.20 m/s

So, time taken by the swimmer to cross the river = 150/1.20 = 125 seconds

So , the swimmer is going downstream for 125 seconds at a speed of 0.55 m/s

Distance traveled during that time = 0.55*125 = 68.75 m

So the swimmer will reach 68.75 m far from the point opposite to her starting point

A 850-kg sports car accelerates from rest to 95 km/h in 6.8 s .
swat32

From the calculations, the power expended is 43650 W.

<h3>What is the power expended?</h3>

Now we can find the acceleration from;

v = u + at

u = 0 m/s

v =  95 km/h or 26.4 m/s

t =  6.8 s

a = ?

Now

v = at

a = v/t

a = 26.4 m/s/ 6.8 s

a = 3.88 m/s^2

Force = ma = 850-kg * 3.88 m/s^2 = 3298 N

The distance covered is obtained from;

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

v^2 = 2as

s = v^2/2a

s = (26.4)^2/2 * 3.88

s = 696.96/7.76

s = 90 m

Now;

Work = Fs

Work =  3298 N * 90 m = 296820 J

Power =  296820 J/ 6.8 s

= 43650 W

A student throws a rock upwards. The rock reaches a maximum height 2.4 seconds after it was released.
Allisa [31]

Answer:

23.52 m/s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Time taken (t) to reach the maximum height = 2.4 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) =..?

At the maximum height, the final velocity (v) is zero. Thus, we can obtain how fast the rock (i.e initial velocity)

was thrown as follow:

v = u – gt (since the rock is going against gravity)

0 = u – (9.8 × 2.4)

0 = u – 23.52

Collect like terms

0 + 23.52 = u

u = 23.52 m/s

Therefore, the rock was thrown at a velocity of 23.52 m/s.

What is the density of a 150cm 3 block with a mass of 700 grams?
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The Density of the block is 4.667g/mL

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass of block = 700g

Volume of block = 150cm³

Density = ?

Density can be defined as mass all over the volume of an object.

Simply stated, density is mass per unit volume of an object.

Mathematically, density is given by the equation;

Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Density = \frac{700}{150}

<em>Density = 4.667g/mL</em>
