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

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

0.25223 seconds.

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of bullet = 0.0146 kg

m_2 = Mass of block = 2.55 kg

v = Combined velocity

u_1 = Velocity of bullet = 816 m/s

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

As linear momentum is conserved

m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 =(m_1 + m_2)v

Now u_2=v as the block (with the bullet in it) reverses direction and rises,

m_1u_1 + m_2v =(m_1 + m_2)v\\\Rightarrow m_1u_1=(m_1 + m_2)v-m_2v\\\Rightarrow 0.0146\times 816=(0.0146 + 2.55)v-(-2.55v)\\\Rightarrow 11.9136=2.2646v+2.55v\\\Rightarrow 11.9136=4.8146v\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{11.9136}{4.8146}\\\Rightarrow v=2.47447\ m/s

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{2.47447-0}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=0.25223\ s

The time t is 0.25223 seconds.

MAVERICK [17]
<span>Two sound waves of equal amplitude interfere so that the compression of one wave falls on the rarefaction of the other. The statement which is true is that A. no sound is heard.
These waves interfere, which means that their equal amplitudes match and thus cancel each other out, which is why there is no sound.

How does the position of an object relate to the energy stored in an object?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Potential Energy

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to it's position relative to some zero position. An object possesses gravitational potential energy if it is positioned at a height above (or below) the zero height.
