The mass of the particles that a river can transport is proportional to the sixth power of the speed of the river. A certain riv

er normally flows at a speed of 1 meter per second. What must its speed be in order to transport the particles that are twice as massive as usual?

Answer:

1.122 m/s

Explanation:

So usually a river with a speed of 1 meters per second can transport particle that weighs:

1^6 = 1 kg

If the particle is twice as massive as usual, then its weights would be 1 * 2 = 2kg

This means the river must be flowing at a speed of

2^{\frac{1}{6}} = 1.122 m/s

It is easier to overcome load when the load is shifted towards the wheel in a wheelbarrow why ? give reason​
krok68 [10]

Answer:

The wheelbarrow's wheel and axle help the wheelbarrow to move without friction thus making it easier to push or pull. That's why it will be easier to lift a load in wheel barrow of the load is transferred towards the wheel.

A plane is flying 2400 miles from a to
geniusboy [140]
From a to b speed is 600+40 = 640
from b to a speed is 600-40 = 560

let t be the number of hours of flight. This would mean it would have traveled a distance of 640 miles and the distance yet to travel is 2400-640t
Time left will be (2400-640t)/640. But if they were to return to a it would fly 640t miles at 560mph which will take (640t/560) hrs

(2400-640t) / 640 = 640t / 560
560(2400 - 640t) = 640t x 640
t = 1.75hrs

Suppose that you are swimming in a river while a friend watches from the shore. In calm water, you swim at a speed of 1.25 m/s .
aliya0001 [1]

Answer: The observing friend will the swimmer moving at a speed of 0.25 m/s.

Explanation:

  • Let <em>S</em> be the speed of the swimmer, given as 1.25 m/s
  • Let S_{0} be the speed of the river's current given as 1.00 m/s.

  • Note that this speed is the magnitude of the velocity which is a vector quantity.
  • The direction of the swimmer is upstream.

Hence the resultant velocity is given as, S_{R} = S — S 0S_{0}

S_{R} = 1.25 — 1

S_{R} = 0.25 m/s.

Therefore, the observing friend will see the swimmer moving at a speed of 0.25 m/s due to resistance produced by the current of the river.
