Two swimmers A and B, of weight 235 lb and 170 lb, respectively, are at diagonally opposite corners of a floating raft when they realize that the raft has broken away from its anchor. Swimmer A immediately starts walking toward B at a speed of 6.5 ft/s relative to the raft. Knowing that the raft weighs 300 1b, Determine:
a. the speed of the raft if B does not move.
b. the speed with which B must walk toward A if the raft is not to move.

1. what is the relationship between wavelength and the penetrating power of an electromagnetic wave? a) the penetrating power has no relationship to the wavelength. b) the penetrating power increases as the wavelength increases. c) the penetrating power decreases as the wavelength increases. d) the penetrating power decreases as the wavelength decreases. 2. as ice melts and turns into water, the speed of sound through the material would most likely do what? justify your answer. a) the speed would not change because the material is always water. b) the speed of sound would increase because the density of water is less than that of ice. c) the speed of sound would increase because energy is added to ice in order to make it melt. d) the speed of sound would decrease because sound travels faster through solids than liquids. 3.which of these waves need a medium to travel through? a) sound b) x-rays c) infrared rays d) visible light
