Answer:

t = 180 / 1.4 = 129 sec   (time to swim horizontally across river)

S = 129 sec * V     where V is speed of current and S is the distance he will be carried downstream

The problem does not specify V the speed of the river

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

a) the distance(D) showing how dar downstream he will land can be computed as follows:

Assuming the current of the river = 0.2 m/s

D = \dfrac{180 \ m \times 0.2 \ m/s}{1.4 \ m/s}

D = 36 m ÷ 1.4

D = 25.71 m

The required time (t) to reach the other side is:

time (t) = 180 m/ 1.4 m/s

time (t) = 128.57 seconds

Why are the outlets in homes never wired in series? What problems might this present?
rosijanka [135]
A series circuit means that there is only one current. Which means that everything is sharing that one wire. Homes are normally wired with a parallel circuit, which means that there is more than one current running through the house. If you have a series, if you turn on one thing for example a light switch, than everything will turn on with it. But of you have  a parallel you can turn on everything one by one, and save energy.

Trust me. I just took my semester test in physical science this morning, and I passed. This is exactly what we learned. <span />

Okay i'm totally stuck and nobody I know really gets it either, so i've turned to Yahoo for help :)
OlgaM077 [116]

Here is the rule for see-saws here on Earth, and there is no reason
to expect that it doesn't work exactly the same anywhere else:

                     (weight) x (distance from the pivot) <u>on one side</u>
is equal to
                     (weight) x (distance from the pivot) <u>on the other side</u>.

That's why, when Dad and Tiny Tommy get on the see-saw, Dad sits
closer to the pivot and Tiny Tommy sits farther away from it.

       (Dad's weight) x (short length) = (Tiny Tommy's weight) x (longer length).


So now we come to the strange beings on the alien planet.
There are three choices right away that both work:

<u>#1).</u>
(400 N) in the middle-seat, facing (200 N) in the end-seat.

       (400) x (1)  =    (200) x (2)

<u>#2).</u>
(200 N) in the middle-seat, facing (100 N) in the end-seat.

       (200) x (1)  =    (100) x (2)

<u>#3).</u>

On one side:  (300 N) in the end-seat       (300) x (2) = <u>600</u>

On the other side:
                      (400 N) in the middle-seat  (400) x (1) = 400
           and     (100 N) in the end-seat      (100) x (2) = 200
                                                    Total . . . . . . . . . . . . <u>600</u> 


These are the only ones to be identified at Harvard . . . . . . .
There may be many others but they haven't been discarvard.

A ball has a mass of 0.1 kg and an initial velocity of 20 m/s. The ball is given an acceleration of 30 m/s2 for 5 s. What is the
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

acceleration = v-u /t

30- 20/5

= 10/5 = 2m/sec²

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 0.1 * 2

Force = 0.2 Newton
