Answer: The observing friend will the swimmer moving at a speed of 0.25 m/s.
Explanation:
- Let <em>S</em> be the speed of the swimmer, given as 1.25 m/s
- Let
be the speed of the river's current given as 1.00 m/s.
- Note that this speed is the magnitude of the velocity which is a vector quantity.
- The direction of the swimmer is upstream.
Hence the resultant velocity is given as,
= S — S 0
= 1.25 — 1
= 0.25 m/s.
Therefore, the observing friend will see the swimmer moving at a speed of 0.25 m/s due to resistance produced by the current of the river.
The correct answer is
C ). A hypothesis includes an explanation for why two variables affect each other, but a law only describes how they affect each other.
The sun, moon, planets and stars rise in the EAST and set in the WEST.
Answer:
A.
Explanation:
Earth is composed of different layers and one layer moves over another due to differences in the densities.
According to the physics of density, a substance having less density floats over a higher density substance. The oceanic crust has more density than the continental crust that is why continental crust float over oceanic crust.
So in the given example, plate B is moving below the plate A, it means plate B is more dense than plate A because plate B is composed of oceanic crust
. <u>For example : continents float over the asthenosphere (a layer below the lithosphere).</u>
Hence, the correct answer is "A
".
