Question

0. A swimmer heading directly across a river that is
200 m wide reaches the opposite bank in 6 min 40s.
During this swim, she is
swept downstream 480 m.
What is the speed of the current?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The velocity of an object traveling in rectilinear motion is the distance traveled by the object per unit of time. So the velocity of the object can be calculated by dividing the distance covered by the object by the time taken to cover the distance. The relationship between the velocity, distance, and time is given by the following expression,

velocity=distance/time

Explanation:

The width of the river is,

w

=

200

m

The time taken by swimmer to reach the opposite bank is, {eq}t = 6{\rm{ m 40 s}}....
