Refer to the diagram shown below.
Still-water speed = 9.5 m/s
River speed = 3.75 m/s down stream.
The velocity of the swimmer relative to the bank is the vector sum of his still-water speed and the speed of the river.
The velocity relative to the bank is
V = √(9.5² + 3.75²) = 10.21 m/s
The downstream angle is
θ = tan⁻¹ 3.75/9.5 = 21.5°
Answer: 10.2 m/s at 21.5° downstream.
The equation
(option 3) represents the horizontal momentum of a 15 kg lab cart moving with a constant velocity, v, and that continues moving after a 2 kg object is dropped into it.
The horizontal momentum is given by:


Where:
- m₁: is the mass of the lab cart = 15 kg
- m₂: is the <em>mass </em>of the object dropped = 2 kg
: is the initial velocity of the<em> lab cart </em>
: is the <em>initial velocit</em>y of the <em>object </em>= 0 (it is dropped)
: is the final velocity of the<em> lab cart </em>
: is the <em>final velocity</em> of the <em>object </em>
Then, the horizontal momentum is:

When the object is dropped into the lab cart, the final velocity of the lab cart and the object <u>will be the same</u>, so:

Therefore, the equation
represents the horizontal momentum (option 3).
