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.

Suppose that a certain battery produces a voltage of 1.55V without a load connected (open circuit) and a current of 500mA when s
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the internal resistance be r .

Since in open circuit the volt is 1.55 V , this will be the source voltage .

Source voltage = 1.55

If external resistance be R .

1.55 / (R + r ) = .500

R + r = 3.1 ohm

So sum of internal resistance and external resistance will be 3.1 ohm.

DESCRIBE floods and droughts. What are their effects? EXPLAIN how they can be prevented
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

<u>EFFECTS: ( doughts)</u>

  1. There would be less water in the river for you and other people who live along the river to use.
  2. If we use too much water during times of normal rainfall, we might not have enough water when a drought happens.

<u>EFFECTS:( FLOODS)</u>

  1. The immediate impacts of flooding include loss of human life, damage to property, destruction of crops, loss of livestock, and deterioration of health conditions owing to waterborne diseases.
  2. power plants, roads and bridges are damaged and disrupted, some economic activities may come to a standstill, people are forced to leave their homes and normal life is disrupted.

How to prevent from flooding is :

  1. Construct buildings above flood levels.
  2. Tackle climate change

How to prevent from droughts :

  1. drought trends that may occur based on statistical and actual weather forecasts.
  2. In the U.S., the U.S. Drought Monitor provides a day-by-day visual of the drought conditions around the country.

Which strategy should you use if your research question is too broad for the scope of your project? (1 O narrow the focus of res
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

"Narrow the focus of research question"

Explanation:

O Narrow the focus of research question

    This is good! You can still use your question, but focus in on something so you have a proper research project.

O Add another research question

    Would adding another question to an already broad question help? No.

O Use the very first source you find for your project

    If your question is too broad, you should not use whatever you see first as it may be incorrect or does not answer the question

O Change the scope of your project​    

    You could, but if you have a set scope for your project (a) you might not be able to change it (b) you don't need to restart

Have a nice day!

    I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)

A motorcycle is moving at a speed of 21 m/s. The driver applies the brakes, giving hum an acceleration of -2.4 m/s^2. After 2 se
WARRIOR [948]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B. 16.2 m/s

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Using the equation;

v = u + at; where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken;

u = 21 m/s, a= -2.4 m/s^2 and t = 2 seconds

Therefore;

v = 21 + ((-2.4) × 2)

  = 21 - 4.8

 <u> = 16.2 m/s</u>
