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

What happens to the brightness of bulb a when the switch is closed and bulb b lights up?
eimsori [14]
The problem describes the relationship of "bulb a" and "bulb b" to be in connected in series. When the switch is open then no current can flow, on the other hand, when it is closed, current will pass through.

When only "bulb a" is connected to the battery then more current is flowing to "bulb a" causing it to be bright.

Closing the switch would mean that "bulb b" is already included in the circuit and the battery will push small current to flow around the whole circuit. The more bulbs are connected, the harder for the current to flow because the resistance will be very high.

So the light of "bulb a" will be dimmer.

What is the basis for analyzing an energy transfer diagram? The mechanical energy input and output must be equal.  Heat must alw
lapo4ka [179]
An Energy Transfer Diagram is also known as Sankey diagram and this shows the input energy taken in and the transformation of the output energy in another form. Therefore the basis for analyzing an energy transfer diagram would be the sum of all outputs must equal the input. Therefore, it is the third option. Hope this answer helps.

Answer:

variations in great horned owl body size due to food supply can be acted on by natural selection.

Explanation:

Natural selection can help select great horned owl with smaller body size since it's an advantage in a place with smaller available food sources, compared to a bigger body size that will need more food. At first, birds with smaller body survive while those bigger ones die out, and the smaller birds pass on this genes to their offspring.

Answer:

variation in body size due to inherited traits can be acted on by natural selection

Explanation :

Variations in body size in body size due to inherited trait can be acted upon by natural selection by favoring the size that is best suited for the survival of the species. Those with these genes survive and pass it on to their offspring, while those with the unfavorable body size are wiped out.

Consider a steel guitar string of initial length L=1.00L=1.00 meter and cross-sectional area A=0.500A=0.500 square millimeters.
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The extent to which it would stretch  is \Delta L = 0.015 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The initial length is  L = 1.00m

     The area is  A = 0.500 mm^2 = \frac{0.500}{1 *10^6} = 0.500*10^6 \ m^2

     The Young modulus of the steel is  Y = 2.0*10^{11} Pa

     The tension   is  T =1500 N

The Young modulus is mathematically represented as

       Y = \frac{\sigma}{e}

Where \sigma is the stress which is mathematically represented as

           \sigma = \frac{F}{A}  

Substituting values

            \sigma = \frac{1500}{0.500*10^{-6}}  

           \sigma = 3.0*10^9 N/m^2  

And  e is the strain which is mathematically represented as

            e = \frac{\Delta L}{L }

Where \Delta L The extension of the steel string

Substituting these into the equation above

             Y = \frac{3.0*10^9}{\frac{\Delta L}{L} }

Substituting values  

           2.0 *10^{11} = \frac{3.0*10^9}{\frac{\Delta L}{L} }

          \Delta L = \frac{3.0*10^9  * 1}{2.0 *10^{11}}

         \Delta L = 0.015 \ m
