Answer:

1.53 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity is given in meters per second, so if it takes the swimmer 72 second to swim 110 meters:

m/s = 110 meters / 72 seconds = 1.527 or 1.53 m/s

The reason for people to swim easier in salt water than fresh water is because of buoyancy

Explanation:

In fresh water there is lack of minerals and has fresh water alone. The density of fresh water is 1000 kg/m³. Hence, in fresh water cannot exert the suitable buoyancy for the swimmer to float easier than that of salt water.

But in Salt water due to enrichment of salts and minerals it is found that salt water has more density than fresh water. Here the salt water offers more buoyancy to the swimmer to lift him up in the water surface and to swim faster and easier than fresh water.

It is similar to that egg floats in the salt water and sinks inside the fresh water because of its own body weight.

Answer:

$v=2.02\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

Assuming no energy lost, according to the law of conservation of energy, the kinetic energy of the automobile becomes potential energy after the crash:

$K=U\\\frac{mv^2}{2}=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

Here m is the automobile's mass, v is the speed of the car before impact, k is the "bumper" constant and x is the compression of the bumper due to the collision. Solving for v:

$v=x\sqrt\frac{k}{m}\\v=2.63*10^{-2}m\sqrt{\frac{5.9*10^6\frac{N}{m}}{10^3kg}}\\v=2.02\frac{m}{s}$
