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

I’m which medium does sound travel fastest railroad track or across the room
blondinia [14]
The closer the particles, the more will be the propogation of sound waves. Room contains air molecules which are far away from each other. So it takes much time for one molecule of air to disturb the other one. But in case of solids, as particles are much closer(compared to fluids), disturbance generated by one molecule is quickly transmitted to the next molecule

Ahmad is riding his bicycle. He finds that he can accelerate from rest at 0.44 m/s^2 for 5 s to reach a speed of 2.2 m/s. The to
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

1) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo is 529.74 N

2) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle after picking up the the cargo is 647.46 N

Therefore, Christian has to exert more force on his bike after picking up the cargo

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of Christian and his bicycle = 54 kg

The mass of the cargo = 12 kg

1) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo = Mass of Christian and his bicycle × Acceleration due to gravity

∴ The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo = 54 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 529.74 N

2) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle after picking up the the cargo = (54 + 12) kg × 9.81 m/s² = 647.46 N

Therefore, Christian has to exert more force on his bike after picking up the cargo.

Which of the following is the best example of a primary circular reaction?
olga55 [171]

Primary Circular Reactions (1-4 months): This substage involves coordinating sensation and new schemas. For example, a child may suck his or her thumb by accident and then later intentionally repeat the action. These actions are repeated because the infant finds them pleasurable.

If the mass of the sun is 1x, at least one planet will fall into the habitable zone if I place a planet in orbits___, ____, ____
nasty-shy [4]

If the mass of the sun is 1x, at least one planet will fall into the habitable zone. if I place a planet in orbits 2, 6, and 75, and all planets will orbit the sun successfully.

If the mass of the sun is 2x, at least one planet will fall into the habitable zone. if I place a planet in orbits 84, 1, and 5, and all planets will orbit the sun successfully.

If the mass of the sun is 3x, at least one planet will fall into the habitable zone if I place a planet in orbits 672, and 7 and all planets will orbit the sun successfully.

Ksju [112]

Answer:

A. The project's energy costs will decrease

Explanation:

Since the project is located in an area with a demand-response program and on a site that has enough room for a wind-turbine to allow for on-site renewable energy.

Hence, the project's energy costs will decrease very well because it's implementing both of these strategies;

- Area with demand-response program.

- On-site renewable energy.
