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!

The blades must be angled to be able to create the lift, and the blades need an engine powerful enough to spin the blades fast enough to create adequite lift. This remindes me of Newton's third law! For every action, there is an oposite reaction

Which of the following are not correctly balanced reactions?

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

B. 2K + Br2 + 2KBr

D. C + 02 → CO2

Explanation:

In balancing a chemical reaction, the number of atoms on both sides of the expression must be the same in order to obey the law of conservation of mass.

According to the law of conservation of mass, in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed.

So, let us investigate:

Number of atoms

Reactants Products

K 2 2

Br 2 2

C + 0₂ → CO₂

C 1 1

O₂ 2 2

We see that for both equations, the number of atoms on both sides of the expression is the same.

If silicic rock is found in a core sample. What evidence does this provide about the rocks location ?

frez [133]

Answer:

The rocks location is underneath an ocean or mountain

Explanation:

Silicic rock are igneous rock rich in silica. The amount of silica that constitutes a silicic rock is usually defined as at least sixty three percent. Granite and rhyolite are the most common silicic rocks found. These are found in the magma of the Earth.

Silicic is the group of silicate magmas which crystallise a relatively small proportion of ferromagnesian silicates. The main constituents of a silicic rock will be minerals rich in silica-minerals mainly.
