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.

Why is the force of gravity on your body weaker on the Moon than on the Earth?
andrezito [222]

Answer:

The moon’s gravity is weaker than the earth gravity due to the smaller in size as compared to the earth. As there is no atmosphere present on the moon gravity, so there are fewer chances of withstanding temperature.
