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 disk rotates freely on a vertical axis with an angular velocity of 50 rpm . An identical disk rotates above it in the same dir
True [87]

Answer:

Final angular velocity is 35rpm

Explanation:

Angular velocity is given by the equation:

I1w1i + I2w2i = I1w1f -I2w2f

But the two disks are identical, so Ii =I2

wf can be calculated using

wf = w1i - w2i/2

Given: w1i =50rpm w2i= 30rpm

wf= (50 + 20) / 2

wf= 70/2 = 35rpm

What is the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke?
balu736 [363]
I believe the answer is D, Heat exhaustion involves a lack of sweating, while heat stroke involves extreme sweating. Also just to add the on if heat exhaustion is left untreated then it could turn into a heat stroke.

1. What are the two factors affecting friction
bija089 [108]
Answer: a.) Roughness of the surfaces in contact with each other .
Higher the roughness of surfaces in contact with each other, greater is the friction between bodies. Force of friction will be less between smooth surfaces.

b.) Weight of the sliding/rolling body: greater the weight of the moving body on the surface, more is the force of friction on the body by the surface.

I hope this helps
