Answer:

θ = 61.3°

She must swim at an angle of 61.3°

Explanation:

Given;

Width of river = 100 m

Alicia speed in still water = 2.5m/s

Current of river = 1.2m/s

The angle for her to achieve her goal can be derived by the summation of velocity in the direction of the current.

Her speed in the opposite direction of the current must be able to neutralise the speed of the current;

2.5cosθ - 1.2 = 0

2.5cosθ = 1.2

cosθ = 1.2/2.5

θ = cosinverse(1.2/2.5)

θ = 61.3°

For a Physics course containing 10 students, the maximum point total for the quarter was 200. The point totals for the 10 studen
Talja [164]

Answer:

130.5

Explanation:

According to the stemplot attached (Which I think it is, and if not, then you only need to replace the procedure with your data and you should be fine), you need to calculate first the points of all ten students. In that plot, we can easily calculate the points.

The first number in the colum represents the centen of the point, while the numbers of the second column, represents the units of that centen, for example if you see:

16 | 8 5 6

This means that the point for the students are 168, 165 and 166. Three students, three points.

If you watch the stemplot, the points for the students are:

116, 118, 121, 124, 128, 133, 137, 142, 146 and 179.

The median can be calculated using the mean between the two values in the middle of the sequence.

In this case, half of ten is 5, so, the numbers from the middle in this sequence are 128 and 133, therefore:

Median = 128 + 133 / 2 = 130.5

"if a stream flow measures 12 meters in 60 seconds, what is the stream's average rate of flow?"
Vlad [161]
<span>Discharge is the volume of water moving down a stream or river per unit of time, commonly expressed in cubic feet per second or gallons per day. In general, river discharge is computed by multiplying the area of water in a channel cross section by the average velocity of the water in that cross section: discharge = area * velocity. In this case, the answer is 0.2 m/s.</span>
