Answer:42.55 seconds

Explanation:

Check attached file for the diagram.

Vr= velocity of the river, if the water flows downstream, which is equal to 1.5m/s(from the question), Vb= my velocity at angle alpha which is perpendicular to the x-axis, and c= distance to swim from river bank to the other river bank.

Therefore, the shortest time to be taken to swim or cross the river,t=river with width of C÷ vertical component Vj.

Note that (vector) Vj= (vector)Vr+(vector)Vb.

Also, alpha must be maximum and for that to happen it must have a value of one(1).

Hence, time taken to cross the river,t= C/Vb× sin (alpha).

t= 20m÷ 0.5 ×sin 90.

t= 20÷ 0.47.

t= 42.55 seconds.

Answer:

t=40s,

Explanation:

If you can swim in still water at 0.5m/s, the shortest time it would take you to swim from bank to bank across a 20m wide river, if the water flows downstream at a rate of 1.5m/s, is most nearly:

from the question the swimmer will have a velocity which is equal to the sum of the speed of the water and the velocity to swi across the bank

Vt=v1+v2

the time is takes to swim across the bank will be

DY=Dv*t

DY=distance across the bank

Dv=ther velocity of the swimmer across the bank

t=20/ 0.5m/s,

t=40s, time it takes to swim across the bank

velocity is the rate of displacement

displacement is distance covered in a specific direction

Electromagnetic induction means that moving a magnet through a loop of wire creates an electric current.
MAVERICK [17]
False. An Electromagnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field.

In a pilot study to help train a group of data collectors who will evaluate childrens pain using a FACES rating scale, the resea
muminat

Answer:

Option c. Inter-rater Reliability

Explanation:

Here, the rating is done by a group of data collectors under training for evaluation children's pain on Faces scale which is a scale ranging from 0 to 10 with different expressions or faces with a happy face at 0 to a crying face at 10.

Also in Inter-rater Reliability, the relative consistency of a study or test is assessed and the extent to which different group members rated the same behavior, the consistency of which is evaluated.

Thus it can also be helpful in interviews, etc.

What evidence supports the existence of a very massive black hole at the center of our galaxy?
faltersainse [42]

<u>The motions of the gas and stars at the center indicate that it contains 4 million solar masses within a region no larger than our solar system</u> is the evidence supports the existence of a very massive black hole at the center of our galaxy.

<h3>What is black hole?</h3>

Black holes are points in space that are so dense they create deep gravity sinks. Beyond a certain region, not even light can escape the powerful tug of a black hole's gravity. And anything that ventures too close—be it star, planet, or spacecraft—will be stretched and compressed like putty in a theoretical process aptly known as spaghettification.

There are four types of black holes: stellar, intermediate, supermassive, and miniature. The most commonly known way a black hole forms is by stellar death. As stars reach the ends of their lives, most will inflate, lose mass, and then cool to form white dwarfs. But the largest of these fiery bodies, those at least 10 to 20 times as massive as our own sun, are destined to become either super-dense neutron stars or so-called stellar-mass black holes.

Can you explain hooks law in simple words?
dedylja [7]

Answer:

The extension of a material or a spring is its increase in length when pulled. Hooke’s Law says that the extension of an elastic object is directly proportional to the force applied to it. In other words:
