A swimmer, capable of swimming at a speed of 1.0 m/s in still water (i.e., the swimmer can swim with a speed of 1.0 m/s relative

to the water), starts to swim directly across a 3.0-km-wide river. However, the current is 0.91 m/s, and it carries the swimmer downstream.
(a) How long does it take the swimmer to cross the river?
(b) How far downstream will the swimmer be upon reaching the other side of the river?

If the current takes him downstream we must find the resultant vector of the velocities: V res= \sqrt{1^{2}+0.91^{2}  } = \sqrt{1.8281}= 1.3520747 Then if the river is 3000 m-wide the swimmer will have to pass:
 1.3520747 · 300 = 4056.14 m                t = 4056.14 m : 1 m/s
a ) It takes 4056.15 seconds ( 1 hour 7 minutes and 36 seconds ) to cross the river.  
b ) 0.91 · 3000 = 2730 m
He will be 2730 m downstream.

How do two objects at different temperatures attain thermal equilibrium?
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

C.As the two objects touch, thermal energy flows as heat from the warmer block to the colder block until particles in both blocks move at the same rate and reach the same temperature.

Explanation:

Heat is the transfer of thermal energy from an object at higher temperature to an object at colder temperature.

The temperature of an object is a measure of how fast the particles in the object move: the higher its temperature, the faster the particles move, the higher the average kinetic energy of the particles in the object. As a result, the particles of the object at higher temperature tend to transfer more energy (called thermal energy) to the particles of the object at colder temperature by colliding with them: this process continues until the particles of the colder object reach the same average kinetic energy as the particles of the warmer object, and this means that the two objects have reached the same temperature.

If the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s and the wavelength of this note is 2.62 m, what is the frequency of this C3 note? (Round
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

<em>The frequency of of the note = 131 Hz.</em>

Explanation:

<em>Frequency:</em><em> Frequency can be defined as the number of complete oscillation completed by a wave in one seconds. The S.I unit of frequency is Hertz ( Hz)</em>

v = λf ............................ Equation 1

Making f the subject of the equation,

f = v/λ .......................... Equation 2

Where v = Speed, λ = wavelength, f = frequency

<em>Given: v = 343 m/s, λ = 2.62 m.</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 2</em>

<em>f = 343/2.62</em>

<em>f = 131 Hz</em>

<em>Thus the frequency of of the note = 131 Hz.</em>
