Answer:
The correct answer is Option A.
Answer:
t=40s,
Explanation:
If you can swim in still water at 0.5m/s, the shortest time it would take you to swim from bank to bank across a 20m wide river, if the water flows downstream at a rate of 1.5m/s, is most nearly:
from the question the swimmer will have a velocity which is equal to the sum of the speed of the water and the velocity to swi across the bank
Vt=v1+v2
the time is takes to swim across the bank will be
DY=Dv*t
DY=distance across the bank
Dv=ther velocity of the swimmer across the bank
t=20/ 0.5m/s,
t=40s, time it takes to swim across the bank
velocity is the rate of displacement
displacement is distance covered in a specific direction
