In the 2016 Olympics in Rio, after the 50 m freestyle competition, a problem with the pool was found. In lane 1 there was a gent

le 1.2 cm/s current flowing in the direction that the swimmers were going, while in lane 8 there was a current of the same speed but directed opposite to the swimmers' direction. Suppose a swimmer could swim the 50.0 m in 25.0 s in the absence of any current.
Part A: How would the time it took the swimmer to swim 50.0 m change in lane 1?

Part B: How would the time it took the swimmer to swim 50.0 m change in lane 8?

Answer:

Explanation:

A )

speed of swimming in still water is given by the expression

distance / time

= 50 / 25

= 2 m /s

In lane 1 , 1.2 cm/s current is flowing in the direction that the swimmers are going so swimmers will cover distance at the rate of  2 + 1.2 = 3.2 m /s.

time to cover distance of 50 m in lane 1

= distance / speed

= 50 / 3.2 = 15.625 s

In lane 8 , 1.2 cm/s current is flowing against  the direction that the swimmers are going so swimmers will cover distance at the rate of  2 - 1.2 = .8 m /s.

time to cover distance of 50 m in lane 1

= distance / speed

= 50 / .8 = 62.5 s

Insight therapies involve verbal interactions between a therapist and a client that are used to promote positive changes in one'
Furkat [3]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Insight therapies are very powerful psychological tools used by therapist to help them unlock their past and provide a better well being and a more sound future.

  • It involves verbal communication between the client and the therapist.
  • The stages are grouped into sessions where both parties frequently meet.
  • Issues in the past that might be the premise of current behaviors are focused on.
  • The goal is to be able to annul the effect such issues currently have on the present lifestyle of the client.

In a scientific experiment, the variable manipulated or controlled by the experimenter is called the
miskamm [114]
Answer:
The variable manipulated or controlled by the experimenter is called the independent variable.

Example:
If the flow velocity at the bottom of a tank is measured by varying the height of water in the tank, we are measuring velocity as a function of water height.
Therefore,
water height  =  independent variable (controlled)
velocity =  dependent variable (measured in response to water height).

Mathematically,
v = f(h)
where v =  response variable (dependent)
            h = controlled variable (independent).

A long, straight wire is surrounded by a hollow metal cylinder whose axis coincides with that of the wire. The wire has a charge
Alexxx [7]

Explanation:

It is given that, a long, straight wire is surrounded by a hollow metal cylinder whose axis coincides with that of the wire.

The charge per unit length of the wire is \lambda and the net charge per unit length is 2 \lambda.

We know that there exist zero electric field inside the metal cylinder.

(a) Using Gauss's law to find the charge per unit length on the inner and outer surfaces of the cylinder. Let \lambda_i\ and\ \lambda_o are the charge per unit length on the inner and outer surfaces of the cylinder.

For inner surface,

\phi=\dfrac{q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon_o}

E.A=\dfrac{q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon_o}

0=\dfrac{\lambda_i+\lambda}{\epsilon_o}

\lambda_i=-\lambda  

For outer surface,

\lambda_i+\lambda_o=2\lambda

-\lambda+\lambda_o=2\lambda

\lambda_o=3\lambda

(b) Let E is the electric field outside the cylinder, a distance r from the axis. It is given by :

E_o=\dfrac{\lambda_o}{2\pi \epsilon_o r}

E_o=\dfrac{3\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_o r}

Hence, this is the required solution.

How can we realize that light travel in straight line ?​
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

It can be seen from the operation of pin-hole camera, formation of shadows and eclipse.

Explanation:

The phenomenon of light traveling in a straight line is known as rectilinear propagation of light.

One this evidence can be seen from the operation of pin-hole camera, which depends on rectilinear propagation of light

Also two natural effects that result from the rectilinear propagation of light are the formation of Shadows and Eclipse.
