A North American river otter wants to cross the North Saskatchewan river. It can swim at a speed of 2.75 m/s. In that location, the distance directly across the river is 45.0 m and the current velocity is 2.5 m/s.

a) How much time does the otter take to get to the other side, if it points directly across the river?

Answer:

time=16.3 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

let time taken be x

speed=distance/time taken

2.75=45/x

2.75x=45

x=45/2.75

x=16.36

x=16.3 seconds

The time taken is 16.3 seconds.

What is speed?

Speed = Distance/Time

This informs us how slowly or quickly an object moves. It defines the distance traveled divided by the time brought to cover the distance. Speed stands directly proportional to distance and inversely proportional to Time.

Let x be the time taken

speed = distance/time taken

2.75 = 45/x

2.75x = 45

x = 45/2.75

x = 16.36

x = 16.3 seconds

Therefore, the time taken is 16.3 seconds.
