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

A rod of very small diameter with a mass 2m and length 3L is placed along the xaxis with one end at the origin. An identical rod
rewona [7]

Answer:

coordinates of the center of mass for these two rods

(x_{cm}, y_{cm})= (\frac{3L}{4},  \frac{3L}{4})cm

Explanation:

given

mass of a rod = 2m

length of the rod = 3L

mass of two rods = 2(2m) = 4m

radius = diameter/2 = \frac{3L}{2}

attached is the diagram and solution to the question

The noise level coming from a pig pen with
sweet [91]

Answer:

The decibel of the remaining pigs is 51.5 dB.

Explanation:

Decibel (dB) is a unit of measure of the intensity of a given sound.

Number of pigs = 199, noise level = 74.3 dB.

Given that the intensity (I) of the sound from the pen is proportional to the number of pigs (N), thus:

                       I    \alpha  N

                       I = kN

where k is the constant of proportionality.

⇒                    k = \frac{I}{N}

                         = \frac{74.3}{199}

                      k = 0.3734

When 61 numbers of pigs were removed, the number of remaining pigs (N) squealing at their original level is 138.

Thus, the becibel level (I) of the remaining pigs can be determined by:

                  I = kN

                    = 0.3734 × 138

                   = 51.53 dB

The becibel level (I) of the remaining pigs is 51.53 dB.
