In the 2016 Olympics in Rio, after the 50 mm freestyle competition, a problem with the pool was found. In lane 1 there was a gen

tle 1.2 cm/scm/s current flowing in the direction that the swimmers were going, while in lane 8 there was a current of the same speed but directed opposite to the swimmers' direction. Suppose a swimmer could swim the 50.0 mm in 25.0 ss in the absence of any current.
Required:
a. How would the time it took the swimmer to swim 50.0 m change in lane 1?
b, How would the time it took the swimmer to swim 50.0 m change in lane 8?

Answer:

Explanation:

still water speed is 50 m / 25.0 s = 2.00 m/s or 200 cm/s

In lane 1 the effective speed would be 201.2 cm/s

5000 cm / 201.2 cm/s = 24.85 s

The change is 25.00 - 24.85 = 0.15 s decrease in time

In lane 8, the effective speed would be 198.8 cm/s

5000 cm / 198.8 cm/s = 25.15 s

The change is 25.00 - 25.15 = 0.15 s increase in time

Approximately how many news cases of STIs occur in the United States
galben [10]

<u>Approximately 20 million new cases of STIs occur every year in United</u> <u>States.Half of the new cases occur in young people aged between 15–24. </u>

Though younger people are accountable for nearly half of new cases, a recently taken study showed that last year, only around 12% underwent the test for STIs. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that each year, undiagnosed STIs causes 24,000 women to become infertile.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a substantial health challenge which the United States is facing. A very Strong public health awareness and infrastructure is crucial to prevent and control STIs, especially among the younger generation.

An upright object 2.80 cm tall is placed 16.0 cm away from the vertex of a concave mirror with a center of curvature of 24.0 cm.
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

f = 12 cm

Explanation:

<u>Center of Curvature</u>:

The center of that hollow sphere, whose part is the spherical mirror, is known as the ‘Center of Curvature’ of  mirror.

<u>The Radius of Curvature</u>:

The radius of that hollow sphere, whose part is the spherical mirror, is known as the ‘Radius of Curvature’ of  mirror. It is the distance from pole to the center of curvature.

<u>Focal Length</u>:

The distance between principal focus and pole is called ‘Focal Length’. It is denoted by ‘F’.

The focal length of the spherical (concave) mirror is approximately equal to half of the radius of curvature:

f = \frac{R}{2}

where,

f = focal length = ?

R = Radius of curvature = 24 cm

Therefore,

f = \frac{24\ cm}{2}

<u>f = 12 cm</u>

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Acceleration  =  (change in speed)  /  (time for the change)

                       =      (49 m/s)   /   (5 seconds)

                       =       (49 / 5)  m/s  /  s

                       =            9.8 m/s²
