Answer: 5 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following :

Inductance (L) = 40 henry

Resistance = 8 ohms

The circuit given above is a Resistor - Inductor (RL) circuit network. The time constant of an RL circuit is the ratio of the circuit Inductance (L) and Resistance (R). Time constant is measured in seconds.

THAT IS;

Time constant = L / R

THEREFORE ;

Time constant = 40 / 8

Time constant = 5 seconds

If the swimmer could cross a 14 km channel maintaining the same average velocity as for the first 50 m in the pool, how long wou
alukav5142 [94]

Complete question:

If the swimmer could cross a 14 km channel maintaining the same average velocity as for the first 50 m in the pool, how long would it take?

For the first 50m in the pool, the average velocity was 2.08 m/s

Answer:

It would take for the swimmer approximately 1.87 hours.

Explanation:

If the swimmer maintains the average velocity on the channel, we should find and approximate value of the time it takes to cross the channel with the Galileo’s kinematic equation:

x=vt

With x the displacement, v the average velocity and t the time, solving for t:

t=\frac{x}{v}=\frac{14000m}{2.08\frac{m}{s}}

t=6730.7 s= 1.87 h
