A North American river otter wants to cross the North Saskatchewan river. It can swim at a speed of 2.75 m/s. In that location,

the distance directly across the river is 45.0 m and the current velocity is 2.5 m/s.
a) How much time does the otter take to get to the other side, if it points directly across the river?

b) How many metres downstream will the current have carried the otter when it gets to the other side?

c) Calculate the otter's velocity, relative to the bank from where it started.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

time to cross will be the distance divided by the velocity in that direction.

a) t = d/v = 45/2.75 = 16.363636... 16.4 s

In the same time that the otter is swimming cross stream, the stream is also moving perpendicularly at its own pace.

b) d = vt = 2.5(16.36) = 40.9090... 40.9 m

As velocity is a vector, An observer on the bank would see the velocity as the vector addition of the cross stream and down stream velocities

c) v = √(2.75² + 2.5²) = 3.716517... 3.72 m/s  magnitude

  θ = arctan2.5/2.75 = 42.2736... 42.3° downstream of a line straight across

Someone pls help asap this is due tmrw !!<br><br> x - 3y = -12<br> 2x + 3y = 3
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this system of equations we will add them

x-3y=-12

2x+3y=3 now +3y-3y=0

3x=-12+3

3x=-9

x=-3

plug in the first equation

-3-3y=-12

-3y=-12+3

-3y=-9

y=3

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 100 feet. Which *COULD NOT* be the length and width of the perimeter?
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

D) L=50 W=50

Step-by-step explanation:

Just "plug and chug" these numbers and see which doesn't work.

A is not it, 20+30=50 (then *2 because we need 4 sides not just 2) 50*2=100

B isn't it, 10+40=50*2=100

C ain't it either 49+1=50*2=100

D is the answer 50+50=100*2=200

We test for a hypothesized difference between two population means: H0: μ1 = μ2. The population standard deviations are unknown
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The degrees of freedom associated with the critical value is 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of values in the final calculation of a statistic that are free to vary is referred to as the degrees of freedom. That is, it is the number of independent ways by which a dynamic system can move, without disrupting any constraint imposed on it.

The degrees of freedom for the t-distribution is obtained by substituting the values of n1​ and n2​ in the degrees of freedom formula.

Degrees of freedom, df = n1​+n2​−2

                                       = 15+12−2=27−2=25​

Therefore, the degrees of freedom associated with the critical value is 25.
