Answer:
part (a)
towards north east direction.
part (b) s = 46.60 m
Explanation:
Given,
- velocity of the river due to east =

- velocity of the boat due to the north =

part (a)
River is flowing due to east and the boat is moving in the north, therefore both the velocities are perpendicular to each other and,
Hence the resultant velocity i,e, the velocity of the boat relative to the shore is in the North east direction. velocities are the vector quantities, Hence the resultant velocity is the vector addition of these two velocities and the angle between both the velocities are 
Let 'v' be the velocity of the boat relative to the shore.

Let
be the angle of the velocity of the boat relative to the shore with the horizontal axis.
Direction of the velocity of the boat relative to the shore.
part (b)
- Width of the shore = w = 300m
total distance traveled in the north direction by the boat is equal to the product of the velocity of the boat in north direction and total time taken
Let 't' be the total time taken by the boat to cross the width of the river.
Therefore the total distance traveled in the direction of downstream by the boat is equal to the product of the total time taken and the velocity of the river
Answer: The copper wiring most likely caused the mini-refrigerator fire.
Explanation: A mini-refrigerator may have one or more evaporator fan motors. These motors have copper wiring. In some situation these copper wires gets overheated. It may result to the firing of the mini-refrigerator.
Therefore, the mini-refrigerator fire was most likely caused by copper wiring.
Answer:
a) 3.33 ns
b) Water distance = 0.75 m
Glass distance = 0.66 m
Diamond distance = 0.41 m
Explanation:
We take the speed of light, c = m/s.
Speed = distance/time
Time = distance/speed
a)

t = 3.33 ns
b)
Refractive index, n = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium





Thus, the distance traveled in the same time is numerically equal to the reciprocal of the refractive index.
For water n = 1.333
d = 1/1.333 = 0.75 m
For glass n = 1.517
d = 0.66 m
For diamond n = 2.417
d = 0.41 m
