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

Suppose that you are headed toward a plateau 4040 m high. If the angle of elevation to the top of the plateau is 2020degrees°​,
Lelu [443]

Answer :

The distance is 109.89 m.

Explanation :

Given that,

Height = 40 m

Angle = 20°

We need to calculate the base of the​ plateau

Using formula of angle

\tan\thata=\dfrac{h}{x}

Where, h = height

x = base

\theta = angle

Put the value into the formula

\tan20^{\circ}=\dfrac{40}{x}

x=\dfrac{40}{tan20^{\circ}}

x =109.89\ m

Hence, The distance is 109.89 m.

Which equation best describes the law of conservation of momentum?
NeX [460]
The law of conservation of momentum<span> states that for two objects colliding in an isolated system, the total </span>momentum<span> before and after the collision is equal. Momentum should be conserved. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

This object is located 13.0 cm to the left of the lens and the image forms at 20.8 cm to the right of the lens.
Alina [70]

Answer:

0.125 cm

Explanation:

1/f = 1/d¡ + 1/d。

Find the focal point

(13.0^-1 + 20.8^-1) = 0.125 m

Focal point = 0.125 m

Calculate the electric potential energy in a capacitor that stores 4.0 10-10 C of charge at 250.0 V
Arada [10]
Q = C.v
v = Q/C
v = 4 × 10^(-10)/250
 = 4 × 10^(-10)/2.5 × 10^2
 = 1.6 × 10^(-12) volt
