Answer:
Explanation:
A )
speed of swimming in still water is given by the expression
distance / time
= 50 / 25
= 2 m /s
In lane 1 , 1.2 cm/s current is flowing in the direction that the swimmers are going so swimmers will cover distance at the rate of 2 + 1.2 = 3.2 m /s.
time to cover distance of 50 m in lane 1
= distance / speed
= 50 / 3.2 = 15.625 s
In lane 8 , 1.2 cm/s current is flowing against the direction that the swimmers are going so swimmers will cover distance at the rate of 2 - 1.2 = .8 m /s.
time to cover distance of 50 m in lane 1
= distance / speed
= 50 / .8 = 62.5 s
Explanation:
Below is an attachment containing the solution.
Answer: D. the distance between the highest points of consecutive waves
Explanation:
The wavelength of a wave is defined as the <em>distance traveled by a periodic perturbation that propagates through a medium in a given time interval</em>. It is usually represented by
and can be calculated if the frequency of the wave is known, since there is an inverse relationship between both.
In the specific case of a periodic sine wave (which is the way in which a wave is usually represented graphically) the wavelength can be determined as the distance between two consecutive maxima of the disturbance.
Therefore, the correct option is D.
The correct answer is D., density. Hope this helps!
