The time taken by the swimmer was 1 hour.

Why?

Since the swimmer is maintaining an angle of 150° while he was swimming, there were two components of the speed (horizontal and vertical). If we want to calculate the time taken by him to cross the river, we need to calculate the vertical speed and consider that the flow's speed is compensated by his horizontal speed.

We can calculate both components of the speed using the following formula:

HorizontalSpeed=Speed*Cos(150\°)\\\\VerticalSpeed=Speed*Sin(150\°)

Now, calculating we have:

HorizontalSpeed=2\frac{Km}{h} *Cos(150\°)=-\sqrt{3} \frac{Km}{h} \\\\VerticalSpeed=2\frac{Km}{h} *Sin(150\°)=1\frac{Km}{h}

Therefore, we have that the horizontal speed is compesating the flow's speed while his vertical speed is used to cross the river which is 1 Km wide.

Hence, we have that the tame taken is:

Time=\frac{RiverWidth}{VerticalSpeed}=\frac{1Km}{1\frac{Km}{h} } =1h

Have a nice day!

Two 20.0 g ice cubes at − 20.0 ∘ C are placed into 285 g of water at 25.0 ∘ C. Assuming no energy is transferred to or from the
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Ft = 17.48°C

Explanation:

Ft is the final temperature. However, ice absorbs heat during two process of melting and cooling and as such, there is no loss of heat to or from the surrounding hence by conservation of energy.

Therefore,

Heat absorbed by water of 20g = heat rejected by water of 265g.

So; M(ice)[C(ice) [(ΔT) + LH(ice) + C(water)(ΔT)] = C(water) M(water) (ΔT)

So, 20[(2.108) [0 - (-20)] + 333.5 + 4.187(Ft - 0)]] = (285)(4.187) (25 - Ft)

To get;

7513 + 83.74 Ft = 29832.4 - 1193.3 Ft

So factorizing, we get;

83.74 Ft + 1193.3 Ft = 29832.4 - 7513

So; 1277.04 Ft = 22319.4

So; Ft = 22319.4/1277.04 = 17.48°C

A 2,300-kg truck is traveling down a highway at 32 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the truck?
kondor19780726 [428]

m = mass of the truck = 23 00 kg

v = speed of the truck down the highway = 32 m/s

K = kinetic energy of the truck = ?

kinetic energy of the truck down the highway is given as

K = (0.5) m v²

inserting the values

K = (0.5) (2300) (32)²

K = (0.5) (2300) (1024)

K = (1150) (1024)

K = 1177600 J

hence the kinetic energy of the truck comes out to be 1177600 J

State three differences between solid friction and viscosity​
Mrrafil [7]
Difference between solid friction and viscosity is as follows: Viscosity is proportional to the surface area whereas solid friction is independent of area of solid surfaces in contact. Viscous force on the body depends upon its velocity in the viscous media. But, friction does not depend on the velocity of the body.
