A child is in danger of drowning in the Merimac river. The Merimac river has a current of 3.1 km/hr to the east. The child is 0.

6 km from the shore and 2.5 km upstream from the dock. A rescue boat with speed 24.8 km/hr (with respect to the water) sets off from the dock at the optimum angle to reach the child as fast as possible. How far from the dock does the boat reach the child?

In a problem where a child is danger form drowning from a river who has a current of 3.1km/hr to east and the child is 0.6km fro the shore and the upstream is 2,5km from the dock. So base on the question the boat with a speed of 24.8 km/hr is 1.9 km because the child is 0.6 km off the dock so 2.5 minus 0.6

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Two of Einstein’s influential ideas introduced in 1905 were the theory of special relativity and the concept of a light quantum, which we now call a photon. Beyond 1905, Einstein went further to suggest that freely propagating electromagnetic waves consisted of photons that are particles of light in the same sense that electrons or other massive particles are particles of matter. A beam of monochromatic light of wavelength \lambda (or equivalently, of frequency f) can be seen either as a classical wave or as a collection of photons that travel in a vacuum with one speed, c (the speed of light), and all carrying the same energy, {E}_{f}=hf. This idea proved useful for explaining the interactions of light with particles of matter.

Decide whether each statement describes mass or weight.
vova2212 [387]

<u>Mass</u>

  • Mass is measured in kilograms.
  • Mass does not change when gravity changes.
  • Mass is the amount of matter in something.

<u>Weight</u>

  • Before I answer, we have to know weight formula. Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity.
  • Therefore, weight is measured in Newtons.
  • Weight changes when gravity changes. This is because weight is dependent on acceleration due to gravity.
  • Weight is a gravitational force.

Hope you could understand.
