Velocity of swimmer across river = 1.30 m/s

Distance arrived downstream = 48 m

Width of river = 64 m

Time taken to cross river = \frac{Width of river}{Velocity across river}

                                          = \frac{64}{1.30} =49.23 s

Speed of river current = \frac{Distance arrived downstream}{Time taken to cross river}

                                     = \frac{48}{49.23} = 0.975 m/s

So, the river is flowing at a speed 0.975 m/s.

Answer:

(c) The planet must have a mass about the same as the mass of Jupiter,

(d) The planet must be closer to the star than Earth is to the Sun.

Explanation:

Astrometry is the ideal method to detect high-mass planets that are close to their star. That is because the gravitational effect that it will have the planet over its host star will be greater. This effect can be seen as a wobble in the star as a consequence of how they orbit a common center of mass¹. The center of mass will be closer to the most massive object, So, in the case of an extrasolar planet with masses like Jupiter (Jovian), this point will be a little bit farther from the star, making the wobble more notable than in a system with a low-mass planet.          

Key terms:

Astrometry: study of the position of the stars over time in the sky.

¹Center of mass: a geometrical point in which the mass from a whole system is summed.

A wildlife researcher is tracking a flock of geese. the geese fly 3.5 km due west, then turn toward the north by 40 ∘ and fly an
kaheart [24]

To solve this problem, we can use the cosine formula for calculating the length of the displacement:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 – 2 a b cos θ

 

where c is the displacement, a = 3.5 km, b = 4.5 km, and θ is the angle inside the triangle

 

Since the geeze turned 40° from west to north, so the angle inside the triangle must be:

θ = 180 – 40 = 140°

 

c^2 = 3.5^2 + 4.5^2 – 2 (3.5) (4.5) cos 140

c^2 = 56.63

c = 7.53 km

 

<span>So the magnitude of the displacement is 7.53 km</span>

You push an object with 67 N of force and move it 20 m. How much work did you do?
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

<h2>1340 J</h2>

Explanation:

The work done by an object can be found by using the formula

workdone = force × distance

From the question we have

workdone = 67 × 20

We have the final answer as

<h3>1340 J</h3>

Hope this helps you
