Explanation:

It is given that,

Velocity in East, v_1=4\ m/s

Velocity in North, v_2=3\ m/s

(a) The resultant velocity is given by :

v=\sqrt{4^2+3^2}=5\ m/s

(b) The width of the river is, d = 80 m

Let t is the time taken by the boat to travel shore to shore. So,

t=\dfrac{d}{v}

t=\dfrac{80\ m}{5\ m/s}

t = 16 seconds

(c) Let x is the distance covered by the boat to reach the opposite shore. So,

x=v_2\times t

x=3\ m/s\times 16\ s

x = 48 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.

What causes resistance in an electric circuit? How is resistance measured?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
Resistance can be caused by specific resistance tools, like resistors, or loads (the part of the component that uses the electricity) like a light bulb or a speaker. Resistance is measured in ohms and can be measured by a multimeter.

12.Two ice skaters are initially at rest. The 78.2 kg male ice skater pushes his 48.5 kg female partner forward and away from hi
NeTakaya

Answer:

The male skater's velocity is 13.71 m/s.

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum:

m1u1 = (m1 + m2)u2

m1 is the mass of the male skater = 78.2 kg

m2 is the mass of the female skater = 48.5 kg

u1 is the velocity of the male skater as a result of the push

u2 is the velocity with which the male skater pushed away the female skater = 8.46 m/s

u1 = [(78.2+48.5)8.46] ÷ 78.2 = 1071.882 ÷ 78.2 = 13.71 m/s

which element is reactive an element whose atoms atoms have seven valence electrons or a element whose atoms have eight valence
likoan [24]
Elements with 7 valence electrons are extremely reactive, while elements with 8 valence electrons practically don't react at all.

This is caused by the fact that all molecules want to have 8 valence electrons; that's just the scientific fact. So, if an element already has 8 valence electrons, it doesn't need to react with anything. If the element only has 7 valence electrons, however, it really wants to react with something with 1 valence electron to get to that special number 8.

State the dimension of surface tension​
Luda [366]

Answer:

Actually, surface tension is the to force per unit length. That means formula for surface tension is = force/length . As we know that the dimensional formula for length is L . And that for force is MLT^-2. So the dimensional formula for surface tension can be obtained by dividing the dimensional formula of force and length.
