The water in a river flows uniformly at a constant speed of 2.50 m/s between parallel banks 80.0 m apart. You are to deliver a p

NISA [10]

Answer:

a) The swimmer should travel perpendicular to the bank to minimize the spent in getting to the other side.

b) 133.33 m

c) 53.13°

d) 106.67 m

Explanation:

a) The swimmer should travel perpendicular to the bank to minimize the spent in getting to the other side.

b) velocity = distance * time

Let the velocity of the swimmer be $v_{s}$ = 1.5 m/s

The separation of the two sides of the river, d = 80 m

The time taken by the swimmer to get to the other end of the river bank,

$t = \frac{d}{v_{s} }$

t = 80/1.5

t = 53.33 s

The swimmer will be carried downstream by the river through a distance, s

Let the velocity of the river be $v_{r}$ = 2.5 m/s

$S = v_{r} t$

S = 53.33 * 2.5

S = 133.33 m

c) To minimize the distance traveled by the swimmer, his resultant velocity must be perpendicular to the velocity of the swimmer relative to water

That is ,

$cos \theta = \frac{v_{s} }{v_{r} } \\cos \theta = 1.5/2.5\\cos \theta = 0.6\\\theta = cos^{-1} 0.6\\\theta = 53.13^{0}$

d) Downstream velocity of the swimmer, $v_{y} = v_{s} sin \theta\\$

$v_{y} = 1.5 sin 53.13\\v_{y} = 1.2 m/s$

The vertical displacement is given by, $y = v_{y} t$

80 = 1.2 t

t = 80/1.2

t = 66.67 s

the horizontal speed,

$v_{x} = 2.5 - 1.5cos53.13\\v_{x} = 1.6 m/s$

The downstream horizontal distance of the swimmer, $x = v_{x} t$

x = 1.6 * 66.67

x = 106.67 m

If a ball with an original velocity of zero is dropped from a tall structure and it takes 7 seconds to hit the ground, what velo

Colt1911 [192]

The velocity of the ball when it reaches the ground is equal to B. 68.6 m/s. This value was obtained from the formula Vf = Vi + at. Vf is the final velocity. Vi is the initial velocity. The acceleration is "a", while the time of travel is "t". The solution is:

<span>Vf = Vi + at
</span>Vf = 0 + (-9.8 m/s^2) (7 s)
Vf = -68.6 m/s

The negative sign denotes the direction of the ball.

How can humidity be used to predict if it is going to rain?

postnew [5]

1. Humidity cannot be used to predict rain.
2. I'm pretty sure it's weather but I'm not 100% sure. Maybe like 89% sure.

3. Tempurature doesn't affect humidity.

4. Not sure but I think its the 3rd one

A positively charged plastic ruler is brought close to a piece paper resting on the desk. The piece of paper was initially neutr

stealth61 [152]

Answer: static electricity

Explanation:

When the plastic ruler is rubbed, friction opposes the motion and causes the transfer of electron from one surface to another such that plastic becomes negatively charged. When ruler is brought nearer to the paper, it induces the positive charge in the piece of paper.
