A river has a steady speed of 0.566 m/s. A student swims upstream a distance of 1.57 km and returns (still swimming) to the star

ting point. If the student can swim at a speed of 1.17 m/s in still water, how long does the trip take? Answer in units of s. Compare this with the time the trip would take if the water were still; i.e., what is the time in the river minus the time in still water? Answer in units of s.

Answer:

3503.72 seconds

819.96 seconds

Explanation:

V_r=Velocity of river = 0.566 m/s

V_s=Velocity of student = 1.17 m/s

Distance to travel = 1.57 km = 1570 m

So,

Time = Distance / Speed

\frac{1570}{V_s-V_r}+\frac{1570}{V_s+V_r}=t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{1570}{1.17-0.566}+\frac{1570}{1.17+0.566}\\\Rightarrow t=3503.72\ s

Time taken by the student to complete the trip is 3503.72 seconds

In still water

\frac{1570}{V_s}+\frac{1570}{V_s}=t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{1570}{1.17}+\frac{1570}{1.17}\\\Rightarrow t=2683.76\ s

The difference in time between moving water and still water is 3503.72-2683.76 = 819.96 seconds

The hardest part of the job is to find the right formula to use, and write it down. You've already done that ! The rest is just turning the crank until an answer falls out.

You wrote. E = m g h.
Beautiful.
Now divide each side by (g h), and you'll have the formula for mass:

m = E / (g h).

You know all the numbers on the right side. Just pluggum in, do the arithmetic, and you'll have the mass.

Question 23

If the gymnast mass were doubled, her height (h) from the top of the board would be as follows,

с  Stay the same

Explanation:

  • The Mass of an object or body does not affect the acceleration due to gravity in any kind of way.
  • Light weight objects accelerate more slowly than the heavy objects because when the forces other than the gravity also plays a major role.
  • Mass increases of a body when an object has higher velocity or the speed.
  • The greater the force of gravity, it would give a direct impact on the object's acceleration; thus considering only a force, the heavier the object is, it would accelerate faster. But an acceleration depends upon the two factors which are  force and mass.
  • Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon the two factors which are, the net force of an object and the mass of the object.
