A river 800m wide flows at the rate of 5km/h . A swimmer who can swim at 10km/h in still water wants to cross the river straight
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

At an angle of 30^{\circ}

Explanation:

Assume the river flows from East to West so for the swimmer to cross across it, assume he crosses it from West to East.

The resultant speed will be given by

R= \sqrt {10^{2}-5^{2}=\sqrt {75}\approx 8.66 km/h\\Direction=sin^{-1}\frac {5}{10}\approx 30^{\circ}

a 4kg metal block absorbs 5000j of energy and increases to a temperature of 22°c. the metal has a specific heat capacity of 250j
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

17 °C

Explanation:

From specific Heat capacity.

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)................. Equation 1

Where Q = Heat absorb by the metal block, c = specific heat capacity of the metal block, m = mass of the metal block, t₂ = final temperature, t₁ = Initial temperature.

make t₁ the subject of the equation

t₁ = t₂-(Q/cm)............... Equation 2

Given: t₂ = 22 °C, Q = 5000 J, m = 4 kg, c = 250 J/kg.°c

Substitute into equation 2

t₁ = 22-[5000/(4×250)

t₁ = 22-(5000/1000)

t₁ = 22-5

t₁ = 17 °C

A 2 kg ball is dropped above the surface of Planet X. If the gravitational field strength at the surface of Planet X is 5 N/kg,
Trava [24]

Given data:

* The mass of the ball is 2 kg.

* The gravitational field strength at the surface of planet X is 5 N/kg.

Solution:

The weight of the ball on the planet X is,

W=ma

where m is the mass of ball, a is the gravitational field strength,

Substituting the known values,

\begin{gathered} W=2\times5 \\ W=10\text{ N} \end{gathered}

Thus, the weight of the ball on the surface of planet X is 10 N.
