1 A person can swim 4 m/s. The river has a current flowing 6 m/s directly east.
A. What will be the direction and velocity of the person if they aim directly across the river (north)?
B. If the person swims at constant speed, how long does it take them to swim across the 40 m wide river?
C. How far downstream will the person drift?
D. At what direction will the person have to swim to reach a point directly across the river?
E. If the river's current increases (is faster), will the person take more or less time to cross the river?

Many machines- including inclined planes such as ramps- increase the strength of the force put into the machine but decrease the distance over which the force is applied. true or false

Acommon technique in analysis of scientific data is normalization. the purpose of normalizing data is to eliminate irrelevant constants that can obscure the salient features of the data. the goal of this experiment is to test the hypothesis that the flux of light decreases as the square of the distance from the source. in this case, the absolute value of the voltage measured by the photometer is irrelevant; only the relative value conveys useful information. suppose that in part 2.2.2 of the experiment, students obtain a signal value of 162 mv at a distance of 4 cm and a value of 86 mv at a distance of 5.7 cm. normalize the students' data to the value obtained at 4 cm. (divide the signal value by 162.) then calculate the theoretically expected (normalized) value at 5.7 cm.
