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.

blsea [12.9K]

Answer: A. force with which air rushes across the vocal folds

Explanation:

The human voice is produced in the larynx, whose essential part is the glottis. This is how the air coming from the lungs is forced during expiration through the glottis, making its two pairs of vocal folds to vibrate.

It should be noted that this process can be consciously controlled by the person who speaks (or sings), since the variation in the intensity of the sound of the voice depends on the strength of the breath.

The motor in a refrigerator has a power output of 400 W. If the freezing compartment is at 273 K and the outside air is at 306 K
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:15,883.63 KJ

Explanation:

Given

Power=400 W

Freezing compartment temperature is 273 K(T_L)

Outside air Temperature=306 K(T_H)

Time =80 minutes

Energy Required to deliver 400 w power in 80 minutes

E=1920 KJ

and we know COP of refrigerator is given by

COP=\frac{T_L}{T_H-T_L}=\frac{Desired\ effect}{Work}

\frac{273}{306-273}=\frac{D.E.}{1920}

D.E.=8.27\times 1920=15883.63 KJ

Therefore 15,883.63 KJ is removed in 80 minutes

Two positive charges are equal. Which has more electric potential energy?
Xelga [282]

Electrostatic potential energy of a system of charge is given by

U = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r}

here we have

q_1,q_2 = two charges of different magnitudes

r = distance between charges

so here we can see that electrostatic potential energy will depends upon the product of two charges and inversely depends upon the distance between the two charges

So here we can say that the electrostatic potential energy of two charges will be same and equal to each other
