A dog wishes to swim across a slow moving stream. The current velocity is 3.0m/s. The distance directly across the stream is 50m. If the dog point himself directly across the stream, it will take

Time = 16.667 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 50 meters

Velocity = 3 m/s

To find the time it will take;

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;

Velocity = distance/time

Making time the subject of formula, we have;

Time = distance/velocity

Time = 50/3

Time = 16.667 seconds

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

false.

explanation:

this statement is false. after falling for 5 seconds, its speed will not be 100 m/s.
