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

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

a. S(t)=350−1t

Explanation:

To determine the equation of motion you take into account the general form of motion with constant velocity:

S(t)=S_o+vt    ( 1 )

So is the initial position from a specific reference frame. In this case is 350 m.

v is the speed of the motion, in this case is 1m/s. However, the motion is forward the zero point of the reference frame, hence, the speed is - 1m/s.

You replace the values of So and v in the equation ( 1 ) and you obtain:

S(t)=350-(1m/s)t

Hence, the answer is:

a. S(t)=350−1t

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Para determinar a equação do movimento, você leva em consideração a forma geral do movimento com velocidade constante:

             (1)

Assim é a posição inicial de um quadro de referência específico. Neste caso, é de 350 m.

v é a velocidade do movimento, neste caso é de 1m / s. No entanto, o movimento é avançar o ponto zero do quadro de referência, portanto, a velocidade é de - 1m / s.

Você substitui os valores de So ev na equação (1) e obtém:

Portanto, a resposta é:

uma. S (t) = 350-1t, movimento retrógrado

Which of these is a mixture?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Air is a mixture.

Explanation:

Air is a homogeneous mixture. It is made up of gaseous substances such as nitrogen, oxygen, and smaller amounts of others.

Carbon dioxide is a pure substance, not a mixture.

Carbon is another pure substance, it cannot be separated into other substances.

Oxygen is just oxygen, it does not contain any other substance.
