To cross the river a swimmer chooses the direction minimizing the amount of time spent in the water. The swimmer swims at a cons

tant speed of 2.00 m/s. The river is flowing uniformly between the parallel banks 73.0 m apart at a constant flow speed of 8.00 m/s. Find the distance (in meters) downstream from the starting point where the swimmer will reach the opposite shore of the river.

Answer:

304 meters downstream

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The speed of the swimmer = 2.00 m/s

The width of the river = 73.0 m

The speed of the river = 8.00 m/s

Therefore;

The direction of the swimmer's resultant velocity = tan⁻¹(8/2) ≈ 75.96° downstream

The distance downstream the swimmer will reach the opposite shore = 4 × 73 = 304 m downstream

The distance downstream the swimmer will reach the opposite shore = 304 m downstream

A wheel has a constant angular acceleration of 1.8 rad/s2. During a certain 4.0 s interval, it turns through an angle of 45 rad.
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

4.25 s

Explanation:

Given:

angular acceleration'α'=  1.8 rad/s²

angle 'θ'= 45 rad

time 't'= 4s

initial angular velocity 'w_{o}'=0rad^{-1}

as we know that,

θ= w_{1}t + \frac{1}{2} \alpha t^{2}

45 = 4 w_{1} + (0.5 x 1.8 x 16)

45- 14.4 = 4 w_{1}

30.6 = 4 w_{1}

w_{1}= 7.65 rad^{-1}

Next is to find t by using the equation

w_{1} =  w_{o} + \alpha t_{1}

7.65= 0 + (1.8)t_{1}

t_{1}= 7.65/1.8

t_{1}= 4.25 s

Therefore, At the start of 4s interval the motion is at 4.25 second
