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

Write the equation of the line in point-slope form that has slope 3 and passes through (2, -5)
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

y = 3x - 11      

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

y = mx + b          Slope Intercept Form

Step 2:

y = 3x + b        Input Slope

Step 3:

- 5 = 3 ( 2 ) + b        Input x and y values

Step 4:

- 5 = 6 + b          Multiply

Step 5:

- 11 = b        Subtract 6 on both sides

Answer:

y = 3x - 11

Which choice best represents the balance of a savings account at the end of 6 years if the simple interest earned each year is 6
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

$507.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 6.5%/100 = 0.065 per year,

then, solving our equation

I = 1300 × 0.065 × 6 = 507

I = $ 507.00

The simple interest accumulated

on a principal of $ 1,300.00

at a rate of 6.5% per year

for 6 years is $ 507.00.
