Answer:

The speed of the flow of water in the river is 4 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of man = 5 m/s

If this man swims crosses a specific river his speed is 3 m/s.

If he takes the minimum time to cross the river

Let the speed of flow of water be v_{r}

We need to calculate the speed of the flow of water in the river

Using formula for velocity

v_{rs}^2=v_{r}^2+v_{s}^2

v_{r}^2=v_{rs}^2-v_{s}^2

Where, v_{s} = velocity of swimmer

v_{sr} = relative velocity

v_{r} = velocity of river

Put the value into the formula

v_{r}^2=5^2-3^2}

v_{r}=\sqrt{5^2-3^2}

v_{r}=4\ m/s

Hence, The speed of the flow of water in the river is 4 m/s.

leva [86]
26 m/s for fifteen seconds. distance = rate times time, so distance = 26 m/s * 15 seconds. this gives you distance = 390 meters.

An electrician finds that a 1 m length of a certain type of wire has a resistance of 0.24 Ω . What is the total resistance of th
zlopas [31]

The resistance of a given conductor depends on its electrical resistivity (\rho), its length(L) and its cross-sectional area (A), as follows:

R=\frac{\rho L}{A}

In this case, we have L'=138L, \rho'=\rho and A'=A. So, the total resistance of the wire with length of 138m is:

R'=\frac{\rho' L'}{A'}\\R'=\frac{\rho 138L}{A}\\R'=138\frac{\rho L}{A}\\R'=138R\\R'=138(0.24\Omega)\\R'=33.12\Omega

AIR MASSES!!
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

A : hot and moist, maritime tropical

B: cold and dry, maritime polar

C: hot and moist , maritime tropical

D: cold and dry, continental polar

E: hot and moist , maritime tropical

F: cold and dry , maritime polar

Explanation:

Cold air is denser than warm air. The more water vapor that is in the air, the less dense the air becomes. That is why cold, dry air is much heavier than warm, humid air.

Maritime polar (mP) air masses are cool, moist, and unstable. Some maritime polar air masses originate as continental polar air masses over Asia and move westward over the Pacific, collecting warmth and moisture from the ocean. 

Maritime tropical (mT) air masses are warm, moist, and usually unstable.

Distinguish between contact force and non-contact forces give three examples of each
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

1. the force which can be felt or act only when two objects are in contact is known as contact force.

for example: frictional force, muscular force,

tension, air resistance .

2. the force which can be felt or act even when two objects are in contact or not is known as non-contact force.

for example: magnetic force, gravitational force, electrostatic force.
