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

The total mechanical energy of a basketball is 400 J. If the kinetic energy is 286 J, what must the potential energy be?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

the potential energy is 114 J.

Explanation:

Given;

total mechanical energy, E = 400 J

kinetic energy, K.E = 286 J

The potential energy is calculated as follows;

E = K.E +  P.E

where;

P.E is the potential energy

P.E = E - K.E

P.E = 400 J - 286 J

P.E = 114 J

Therefore, the potential energy is 114 J.
