A swimmer heads directly across a river, swimming at 1.00 m/s relative to still water. He arrives at a point 41.0 m downstream from the point directly across the river, which is 73.0 m wide. What is the speed of the river current?

Respuesta :

Answer:

velocity of the river is equal to 0.56 m/s

Explanation:

given,

velocity of swimmer w.r.t still water = 1 m/s

width of river = 73 m

he arrives to the point = 41 m

[tex]times = \dfrac{distance}{speed}[/tex]      

[tex]times = \dfrac{73}{1}[/tex]          

 t = 73 s                        

[tex]velocity = \dfrac{distance}{time}[/tex]                  

                    = [tex]\dfrac{41}{73}[/tex]                      

                    = 0.56 m/s                        

velocity of the river is equal to 0.56 m/s
