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?

The dipole moment of the water molecule (h2o) is 6.17x10^-30 c.m. consider a water molecule located at the origin whose dipole moment p points in the +x-direction. a chlorine ion ( of charge-1.60x10^-19c , is located at x=3.00x10^-9m . assume that is much larger than the separation d between the charges in the dipole, so that the approximate expression for the electric field along the dipole axis can be used. a) find the magnitude of the electric force that the water molecule exerts on the chlorine ion. b) what is the direction of the electric force. -x-direction or +x-direction c) is this force attractive or repulsive?
