A river flows due east with a speed of 3.00 m/s relative to earth. The river is 80.0 m wide. A woman starts at the southern bank

and steers a motorboat across the river; her velocity relative to the water is 5.00 m/s due north. How far east of her starting point will she reach the opposite bank?

Answer:

48 m

Explanation:

As she travels at the rate of 5m/s due north, the amount of time it would take for her to cross the 80m wide river would be

t = 80 / 5 = 16 seconds

This is also the time it takes for the river to push her to the east side at the rate of 3m/s. So after 16 seconds, she would reach the opposite point at a horizontal distance from her starting of

s = 16*3 = 48 m

Explain how surface and subsurface events are integral parts of the rock cycle.
vagabundo [1.1K]
Example of surface events are erosion and weathering. Erosion is the carrying of a particle from one place to the other and weathering is the breaking down of particles. These processes help in rock formation because this allows physical changes (grouping together or breaking down) on a certain substance. Subsurface events are those which happened underground such as the flow of underground water which subsequently allow the deposition of minerals, etc.

Which process is an example of a physical change?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Option A

Carrots are cut into small pieces and mixed into a salad

Explanation:

When physical changes occur, the actual composition remain the same but the molecules are re-arranged. Therefore, when carrots are cut into smaller pieces and mixed into salad, there will be no chemical reaction hence the actual composition will remain the same despite being cut and molecules in it re-arranged. Considering the other options, new substances are formed hence they are deemed as chemical changes. Therefore, option A is correct.

How is the density of a substance calculated?
den301095 [7]
1).  Take a sample of the substance.  The sample should be the largest
possible that will allow it to be be easily handled and the following steps
to be performed with it. 
(The density doesn't depend on the size of the sample, and every sample
of the same substance has the same density.  But using a larger sample
can improve the accuracy of the measurements you make, and therefore
improve the accuracy of the density you derive for the substance.)

2). Ask or measure the mass of the sample.

3). Ask or measure the volume of the sample.

4). Divide the mass by the volume. Their quotient is the density
of the substance.
