the closer to the surface a swimmer swims, the lower the pressure on the swimmer, explain why

A swimmer is doing laps in the pool at a constant speed. When she reaches the end of the pool, she kicks off the wall and swims back down the pool in the opposite direction at the same speed. We know a force acted on the swimmer because she experienced a change in...

In attempting to maximize a swimmer's velocity through the water, at high velocities it would normally be MOST productive to have the swimmer:Question 6Select one:a.maintain his/her legs in a more horizontal alignment to maximize streamlining and thereby decrease form dragb.wear tighter fitting swimmers of hydro-dynamically designed material and shave any excess body hair to decrease surface dragc.minimise vertical movements of his/her body to decrease wave dragd.increase hydrodynamic lift by modifying his/her hand position and thereby increase propulsion through the watere.all of the suggestions would be equally productive in maximizing a swimmer's velocity through the water

A swimmer is towed through the water firstly while lying in a prone position on the water surface, then in a prone position but submerged under the water surface (assume the swimmer maintains the same horizontal position and is towed at the same speed in both situations). The person towing the swimmer would usually need to apply the greatest force to move the swimmer through the water in which situation:Question 17Answera.the prone position on the water surface and pulled quickly because, in this position, the swimmer has a higher wave drag than when submergedb.the prone position on the water surface because in this position, the swimmer has a higher surface area exposed to two types of fluid than when submerged, which increases form dragc.the submerged prone position and pulled quickly because, in this position, the swimmer has a less streamlined body position compared to when on the water surface, which increases form dragd.the submerged prone position and pulled quickly because, in this position, the swimmer has a higher surface area exposed to the flow compared to when on the water surface, which increases surface drage.the same force would be applied to the swimmer in a prone position on the water surface and when submerged to move them at the same velocity through the water. This is because there is the same amount of form drag in both situations.

The speed of a swimmer is 4 km h−14 km h-1 in still water. If the swimmer makes his strokes normal to the flow of river of width 1 km1 km, he reaches a point 750 m750 m down the stream on the opposite bank. The speed of the river water is
