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}

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Option B:

A child sitting on a swing.

Explanation:

When we hear the word oscillator, a good example is the pendulum bob of a grandfather clock. We can picture the motion to get a perfect understanding of its path of motion and relate it to other systems of motion in our everyday life.

An oscillator is a system that moves in such a way that it reverses its direction after a period of time. It can be seen as a "to-and-fro" motion.

From the options, a child sitting on a swing is the perfect example of an oscillating system because the child will be moving forwards and backwards, alternately reversing the direction of motion with time.

Answer:

In general solids are easier to transport than liquids, but the above metal example is a valid one and the only other one that comes to mind is that of concrete. It is mixed as a liquid and transported as such, but then sprayed or laid down to dry and form a solid surface or filler.
