A river has a steady speed of 0.480 m/s. a student swims upstream a distance of 1.00 km and swims back to the starting point. (a

Steady speed of river = 0.480 m/s

Swimming speed of student in still water = 1.40 m/s  

When the student is swimming upstream the  velocity he is going up = 1.40-0.48= 0.92 m/s

When the student is swimming downstream the  velocity he is going down = 1.40+0.48= 1.88 m/s

Time taken to travel upstream = \frac{1000}{0.92} =1087 seconds = 18.12 minutes

Time taken to travel downstream = \frac{1000}{1.88} =592 seconds = 8.87 minutes

Total time taken = 18.12+8.87 = 26.99 minutes

Which interactions are part of the greenhouse effect? Select three options.
Allisa [31]

<u>Out of the given options, the following interactions are part of the greenhouse effect, </u>

  • Gases in the atmosphere absorb heat
  • Earth’s surface radiates energy back into the atmosphere
  • Gases in the atmosphere radiate heat back to the surface

Answers: Options A, D and E

<u>Explanation: </u>

The greenhouse effect, basically a warming effect caused by the greenhouse gases such as Carbon-Di-oxide, Methane, nitrous oxides, water vapour etc. These gases usually trap the heat that Earth Absorbs by the Sun.  

In the day time, the Earth absorbs the energy in the form of heat which is radiated by the Sun. In the evening, the process gets reversed and the Earth starts releasing that heat into the atmosphere.

Now, this heat gets absorbed by this gases before it leaves the Earth's atmosphere and gets trapped there only, resulting in the temperature raise of the Earth's environment.

So, the prime causes of the greenhouse effect remains as the heat radiation from the Sun, the absorption of that heat by the Earth surface and the further absorption of that heat produced by the greenhouse gases that present in the atmosphere.

A container is filled to a depth of 19.0 cm with water. On top of the water floats a 31.0-cm-thick layer of oil with specific gr
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Absolute pressure of the oil will be 102822.8 Pa  

Explanation:

We have given height h = 31 cm = 0.31 m

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

Specific gravity of oil = 0.600

So density of oil \rho =0.6\times 1000=600kg/m^3

We know that absolute pressure is given by P=P_0+\rho gh, here P_0=1.01\times 10^5Pa

So absolute pressure will be equal to P=1.01\times 10^5+600\times 9.8\times 0.31=102822.8Pa

So absolute pressure of the oil will be 102822.8 Pa

A boat with a horizontal tow rope pulls a waterskier. She skis off to the side, the rope makes an angle of 15° with the forward
dsp73

Answer:

<h3>13,976.23Joules</h3>

Explanation:

Workdone by the rope is expressed using the formula;

W = Fd sin(theta)

F is the tension in the rope = 180

d is the displacement = 300m

theta is the angle of inclination = 15°

Substitute the given parameters into the formula;

W = 180(300)sin15

W = 54000sin 15

W = 13,976.23

Hence the workdone by the rope is 13,976.23Joules
