Three swimmers can swim equally fast relative to the water. They have a race to see who can swim across a flowing river in the l

east time. Swimmer A swims perpendicular to the current and lands on the opposite shore downstream, because the current has swept him in that direction. Swimmer B swims upstream at angle to the current, so that when she reaches the other side, she is straight across from where she started. Swimmer C swims downstream at an angle theta in an attempt to take advantage of the current. Who crosses the river in the least time?

For a particular type of motion, the velocity is zero but the speed is a nonzero quantity. Which statement can you make about th
masha68 [24]

Answer:

because speed is the modulus of velocity which is a vector

the velocity to be zero it must be a round trip

Explanation:

This is because speed is the modulus of velocity which is a vector.

For the velocity to be zero it must be a round trip, therefore the resulting vector zero

On the other hand, the speed of the module is the same in both directions

Determine the distance between a newly discovered planet and its single moon if the orbital period of the moon is 1.2 Earth days
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

The distance is r = 55430496 \  m  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The period of the moon T =  1.2 days = 1.2 * 24 * 3600 = 103680 \  s

    The mass of the planet is  m_p =  9.38*10^{24} kg

Generally the period of the moon is mathematically represented as

       T  =  2 *  \pi * \sqrt{ \frac{r^3 }{ G * m_p } }

Here G is the gravitational constant with value

        G  =  6.67 *10^{-11} \  N \cdot m^2/kg^2

=>   T  =  2 *  \pi * \sqrt{ \frac{r^3 }{ G * m_p } }

=>   103680   =  2 *  3.142  * \sqrt{ \frac{r^3 }{ 6.67*10^{-11} * 9.38*10^{24} } }

=>    272218492.31 = \frac{r^3}{ 6.67 *10^{-11} * 9.38*10^{24}}

=>    r = \sqrt[3]{ 1.7031241*10^{23}}j

=>   r = 55430496 \  m

A(n) 0.49 kg softball is pitched at a speed of 13 m/s. The batter hits it back directly at the pitcher at a speed of 23 m/s. The
garik1379 [7]
<h2>Impulse  = 4.9 kgm/s</h2>

Explanation:

Impulse is given by change of momentum.

Mass of softball = 0.49 kg

Initial velocity of softball = 13 m/s

Initial momentum = 0.49 x 13 = 6.37 kgm/s

Final velocity of softball = 23 m/s

Final momentum = 0.49 x 23 = 11.27 kgm/s

Change of momentum = Final momentum - Initial momentum

Change of momentum = 11.27 - 6.37

Change of momentum = 4.9 kgm/s

Impulse = Change of momentum

Impulse  = 4.9 kgm/s
