To determine: The velocities of the swimmer with respect to the current when the boy swims directly upstream and directly downstream.
Answer to Problem 1IP
The velocities of the swimmer with respect to the current when the boy swims directly upstream and directly downstream are 2 m/s in the upstream and 1 m/s in the downstream.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The velocity of the swimmer with respect to the current when the boy swims directly upstream is,
Here,
Substitute
Thus, the velocity of the swimmer with respect to the current when the boy swims directly upstream is 2 m/s.
The velocity of the swimmer with respect to the current when the boy swims directly downstream is,
Here,
Substitute
Thus, the velocity of the swimmer with respect to the current when the boy swims directly downstream is 2 m/s.
Therefore, the velocities of the swimmer with respect to the current when the boy swims directly upstream and directly downstream are 2 m/s in the upstream and 1 m/s in the downstream.

Explain.arrow_forwardFor investigating the effect of pressure (height of a column of liquid), a 50-mL burette wasused with a small length of rubber tubing fixed to the bottom on which a clamp could befitted to start/stop the flow of water (Figure 1). Effluent was collected in a beaker and meanflow rate was calculated (mL/s), and a stopwatch was used to measure how long it took for5 mL of liquid to flow out. For the subsequent sections of the practical, a 25-mL burette wasused, and the top was connected via rubber tubing to a 5-liter reservoir placed on theshelving above the bench. The tubing at the base was connected to the different flowmodules that comprised the different configurations of tubes to be tested. Figure 1: A. Theoretical set-up of the experiment. B.

- Many, but not all, marine fishes are simultaneously both osmoregulators and ionoregulators. Say that a friend caught a fish off of the Cape Cod coast where the seawater has an osmotic pressure of 1,050 mosmol.L-1 and a Na+ concentration of 450 mmol.L-1. Which of the following plasma compositions might reasonably be consistent with your friend's fish being such an osmoregulating and ionoregulating species? A. plasma osmotic pressure = 350 mosmol.L-1; plasma Na+ concentration = 430 mmol.L-1 B. plasma osmotic pressure = 1,050 mosmol.L-1; plasma Na+ concentration = 450 mmol.L-1 C. plasma osmotic pressure = 1,035 mosmol.L-1; plasma Na+ concentration = 170 mmol.L-1 D. plasma osmotic pressure = 355 mosmol.L-1; plasma Na+ concentration = 161 mmol.L-1 E.
