Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Given that your boat departs from the bank of a river that has a swift current parallel to its banks. If you want to cross this river in the shortest amount of time, you should direct your boat: so that it drifts with the current.

If the boat moves perpendicular to the current, the current flow will be the resistance to the movement of the boat. So, it's better for the boat to drifts perpendicularly with the current.

The best answer is therefore option D.

Suppose that a sound source is emitting waves uniformly in all directions. If you move to a point twice as far away from the sou
Helen [10]

Answer:

<em>d. unchanged.</em>

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is dependent on the speed of the wave and the wavelength of the wave. The frequency is characteristic for a wave, and does not change with distance. This is unlike the amplitude which determines the intensity, which decreases with distance.

In a wave, the velocity of propagation of a wave is the product of its wavelength and its frequency. The speed of sound does not change with distance, except when entering from one medium to another, and we can see from

v = fλ

that the frequency is tied to the wave, and does not change throughout the waveform.

where v is the speed of the sound wave

f is the frequency

λ is the wavelength of the sound wave.

when an apple falls towards the earth the earth moves up to meet the apple. Is it true? If yes, why is the earth motion not noti
timurjin [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

The apple also exerts an equal and opposite force on the earth but earth does not move because the mass of apple is very small,due to which the gravitational force produces a large acceleration in it (a=F/m) and we can see the apple falling towards the earth but the mass of earth is very large,the same gravitational .

Usually, when the temperture is increased l, what will happen to the ratevof dissolving?
pochemuha
<span>When temperature is increased, the rate of dissolving increases. The kinetic energy of the molecules of the solute and solvent molecules is high thereby increasing their contact. An example is mixing powdered sugar to the water. When you add water to the sugar, the dissolving process is slow. However, when you increase the temperature of the water by boiling it, the sugar dissolves immediately. </span>
