Answer:
The unit of speed is m/s.
If the current takes him downstream we must find the resultant vector of the velocities:
Then if the river is 3000 m-wide the swimmer will have to pass:
1.3520747 · 300 = 4056.14 m t = 4056.14 m : 1 m/s
a ) It takes
4056.15 seconds ( 1 hour 7 minutes and 36 seconds ) to cross the river.
b ) 0.91 · 3000 =
2730 mHe will be 2730 m downstream.
Explanation:
A centripetal force (from Latin centrum, "center" and petere, "to seek") is a force that makes a body follow a curved path. (not sure but hope this helps )
