Traveling against currents usually takes longer. Kinda like walking against the wind, you feel the heaviness against your jacket as you push through it. Where when you walking with the wind, it kind of gives your a push. Same for with currents.
Answer:

Explanation:
An object is at rest along a slope if the net force acting on it is zero. The equation of the forces along the direction parallel to the slope is:
(1)
where
is the component of the weight parallel to the slope, with m being the mass of the object, g the acceleration of gravity,
the angle of the slope
is the frictional force, with
being the coefficient of friction and R the normal reaction of the incline
The equation of the forces along the direction perpendicular to the slope is

where
R is the normal reaction
is the component of the weight perpendicular to the slope
Solving for R,

And substituting into (1)

Re-arranging the equation,

This the condition at which the equilibrium holds: when the tangent of the angle becomes larger than the value of
, the force of friction is no longer able to balance the component of the weight parallel to the slope, and so the object starts sliding down.
The work done occurs only in the direction the block was moved - horizontally. Work is given by:
W = F(h) * d
Where F(h) is the force applied in that direction (horizontal) and d is the distance in that direction. In this case, F(h) is the horizontal component of the applied force, F(app). However, the question doesn't give us F(app), so we need to find it some other way.
Since the block is moving at a constant speed, we know the horizontal forces must be balanced so that the net force is 0. This means that F(h) must be exactly balanced by the friction force, f. We can express F(h) as a function of F(app):
F(h) = F(app)cos(23)
Friction is a little trickier - since the block is being PUSHED into the ground a bit by the vertical component of the applied force, F(v), the normal force, N, is actually a bit more than mg:
N = mg + F(v) = mg + F(app)sin(23)
Now we can get down to business and solve for F(app) - as mentioned above:
F(h) = f
F(h) = uN
F(h) = u * (mg + F(v))
F(app)cos(23) = 0.20 * (33 * 9.8 + F(app)sin(23))
F(app) = 76.8
Now that we have F(app), we can find the exact value of F(h):
F(h) = F(app)cos(23)
F(h) = 76.8cos(23)
F(h) = 70.7
And now that we have F(h), we can find W:
W = F(h) * d
W = 70.7 * 6.1
W = 431.3
Therefore, the work done by the worker's force is 431.3 J. This also represents the increase in thermal energy of the block-floor system.
The approximate speed of the sound wave traveling through the solid material is 1012m/s.

Wavelength, Frequency and Speed</h3>
Wavelength is simply the distance over which the shapes of waves are repeated. It is the spatial period of a periodic wave.
From the wavelength, frequency and speed relation,
λ = v ÷ f
Where λ is wavelength, v is velocity/speed and f is frequency.
Given the data in the question;
- Frequency of sound wave f = 440Hz = 440s⁻¹
- Wavelength of the wave λ = 2.3m
To determine the approximate speed of the wave, we substitute our given values into the expression above.
λ = v ÷ f
2.3m = v ÷ 440s⁻¹
v = 2.3m × 440s⁻¹
v = 1012ms⁻¹
v = 1012m/s
Therefore, the approximate speed of the sound wave traveling through the solid material is 1012m/s.
