Answer:

<u>velocity of swimmer relative to ground = 3 i -5 j</u>

Explanation:

  • To cross a river the swimmer swims relative to river in perpendicular direction.

Velocity of river = -5 j (south)

Velocity of swimmer relative to river = 3 i(north)

So

<h2>Velocity of swimmer relative to ground = Velocity of swimmer relative to river + Velocity of river</h2>

Velocity of swimmer relative to ground = 3 i -5 j

So magnitude of total velocity is \sqrt{3^2+(-5)^2} =\sqrt{9+25} = \sqrt{34}

a car accelerates from rest to a velocity of 5meters/second in 4 seconds. what is its average acceleration over this period of t
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

1.25 m/s²

Explanation:

Average acceleration is the change in velocity over change in time.

a = Δv / Δt

a = (5 m/s − 0 m/s) / 4 s

a = 1.25 m/s²

Answer:Mechanical ventilation system

Explanation:

Ventilation can be increased to safe levels by using mechanical ventilation system to bring in more fresh air.

There are many ways to provide ventilation for example

  • providing ventilation fans in kitchens and bathrooms to remove allergens,moisture.
  • A duct should be provided such that it provides fresh air to different rooms and provision should also be made to remove the poor air inside home.
