A boat heads directly across a river. Its speed relative to the water is 2.6 m/s. It takes it 355 seconds to cross, but it ends

Answer:

Vr = 3.24m/s

The boat is going 3.24m/s relative to the bank of the river.

Explanation:

The relative speed of the boat to the bank Vr is the resultant of speed of boat relative to the water Vb and the speed of boat as a result of the water current or wind Vw

Vr = √(Vb^2 + Vw^2) .....1

Given;

Vb = 2.6m/s

Vw = distance downstream/time = 690m/355s

Vw = 1.94m/s

From equation 1 above; substituting the values

Vr = √(2.6^2 + 1.94^2)

Vr = 3.24m/s

The boat is going 3.24m/s relative to the bank of the river.

Answer:

Fusion

Fission

Explanation:

The first problem describes a nuclear fusion process. In this process;

  • small atomic nuclei combines to form a larger one.
  • it is accompanied by a large release of energy
  • this energy provides the needed temperature to set up another light nuclei to fuse.

The second problem describes nuclear fission,

  • a heavy nuclide is bombarded with a neutron.
  • the product formed becomes unstable and subsequently breaks down.
  • This leads to a series of chain reactions until stability is attained.
