Aswimmer, capable of swimming at a speed of 1.0 m/s in still water (i. e., the swimmer can swim with a speed of 1.0 m/s relative to the water), starts to swim directly across a 3.0-km-wide river. however, the current is 0.91 m/s, and it carries the swimmer downstream.

(a) how long does it take the swimmer to cross the river?
(b) how far downstream will the swimmer be upon reaching the other side of the river?

Unpolarized light of intensity i_0=750w/m^2 is incident upon two polarizers. after passing through both polarizers the intensity is i_2=280w/m^2. (a) what is the intensity of the light after it passes through the first polarizer in w/m^2? (b) write an equation for the angle between the polarizers in terms of the initial (i_0) and final (i_2) intensities. (c) find the angle between the polarizers in degrees.

Two 1.20-m nonconducting wires meet at a right angle. one segment carries + 2.50 µc of charge distributed uniformly along its length, and the other carries - 2.50 µc distributed uniformly along it, as shown in fig. 21.50. ( a. find the magnitude and direction of the electric field these wires produce at point p, which is 60.0 cm from each wire. ( b. if an electron is released at p, what are the magnitude and direction of the net force that these wires exert on it?
