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

The formula v=fλ describes how sound can change. Please explain what these components are, and how they affect one another.
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves is a propagating medium used in all communications device to transmit data (messages) from the device of the sender to the device of the receiver.

An electromagnetic spectrum refers to a range of frequency and wavelength that an electromagnetic wave is distributed or extends. The electromagnetic spectrum comprises of gamma rays, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, radio waves, and infrared radiation.

Wavelength can be defined as the distance from one peak to the next peak. Also, this distance is equal to the distance from one trough of a wave to another.

Mathematically, the speed of a wave is given by the formula;

V = fλ

Where;

V is the speed of the wave.

f is the frequency of the wave.

λ is the wavelength of the wave.

The speed of a wave (wave speed) is directly proportional to the frequency of a wave.

This ultimately implies that, an increase in the speed of a wave would cause an increase in the frequency of a wave and vice-versa.

All of the following activities produce quantitative data exept
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The answer to your question are A and C

Explanation:

Quantitative data are quantities, something that we get after measuring something.

A. Measuring the rate of gas production from a chemical.  This example is a quantitative measure, because we are measuring the rate.

B. Describing the clarity of water in a sample  If we are describing something, means that we are not measuring anything, so this is not a quantitative measure.

C. Calculating the energy released from an electrochemical reaction If we are not measuring but we are using the data somebody else got to calculate energy, them this is a quantitative data.

The potential energy of the block is A) 490 J

Explanation:

The potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in the gravitational field.

It is calculated as follows:

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the object above the ground

For the block in this problem, we have:

m = 10 kg

g=9.8 m/s^2

h = 5 m

Therefore, its potential energy is:

PE=(10)(9.8)(5)=490 J

What happens when light strikes a translucent object?
sammy [17]

Answer:

D)   Some of the light passes through, and some of the light is absorbed or scattered by the object.

Explanation:

When light strikes translucent materials, only some of the light passes through them. The light does not pass directly through the materials. ... When light strikes an opaque object none of it passes through. Most of the light is either reflected by the object or absorbed and converted to heat.

(I googled it) ☺
