Answer:

At an angle of 30^{\circ}

Explanation:

Assume the river flows from East to West so for the swimmer to cross across it, assume he crosses it from West to East.

The resultant speed will be given by

R= \sqrt {10^{2}-5^{2}=\sqrt {75}\approx 8.66 km/h\\Direction=sin^{-1}\frac {5}{10}\approx 30^{\circ}

How do mountain glaciers and continental glaciers differ in terms of dimensions, thickness and patterns of movement?
tester [92]
Question:
How do mountain glaciers and continental glaciers differ in terms of dimensions, thickness and patterns of movement?

Answer:
<span>
Continental glaciers are thicker, much more expansive sheets. Mountain glaciers flow downhill as a result of gravity acting on the mass of ice. Continental glaciers move in response to pressure from the weight of material in their thick midsections.

Which as more weight a kilogram of bricks in air or a kilogram of feathers in water? Explain your answer.
ale4655 [162]
A kilogram is a unit of weight. So a kilogram of bricks would weigh the same as a kilogram of feathers despite if its in water or air since weight is determined by gravity in relation to mass and not what substance the object is in.
