The current flow is 2.4mph.

To find the answer, we have to know about the streamline flow.

<h3>How to find the rate of flow of current?</h3>

The boat's speed will reduce by V miles per hour if it is moving upstream because the current, which moves at a speed of V miles per hour, will be pressing against it. The boat moves downstream at a pace of Vp-V miles per hour as a result. However, if the boat is moving downstream, the current will be pushing it faster, increasing the boat's speed by V miles per hour. The boat's downstream speed as a result is Vp+V miles per hour.

where; Vp is the paddling speed in calm water.

  • It is given that, upstream distance is 10 miles, and downstream is 5 miles in 7 hours.
  • Thus, the time taken for downstream is,

                     t_d=\frac{S_d}{v_d}=\frac{5}{4+V}  , where; S is distance and v is speed.

  • Similarly, the time taken for upstream is,

                           t_u=\frac{S_u}{v_u}=\frac{10}{4-V}

  • The total time taken is,

                t=7hours=t_d+t_u\\                  

  • From this, the velocity of current is,

                       \frac{5}{4+V}+\frac{10}{4-V} =7\\\\V=2.4mph

Thus, we can conclude that, the current flow is 2.4mph.

Kinetic energy and mass are ________ proportional.
omeli [17]

Answer:

The Kinetic energy and mass are _directly_ proportional.

Explanation:

We know that Kinetic Energy is basically termed as the capacity of a body to do work.

Kinetic energy is often used to associate with moving objects, therefore, K.E is normally termed as the energy of motion.

The formula of K.E of an object of mass and velocity is defined

K.E = 1/2mv²

From the formula, it is clear that K.E is directly proportional to its mass and also directly proportional to the square of its velocity.

For example,

If A toy plane with a mass of 10 kg is flying at 20 m/s. Its K.E will be:

  • m = 10 kg
  • v = 20 m/s

K.E = 1/2mv²

      = 1/2(10)(20)²

      = 1/2(10)(400)

       = 5(400)

      = 2000 J

Now, let suppose, if we double the mass of a toy plane i.e.

m = 20 kg

so

K.E = 1/2mv²

      = 1/2(20)(20)²

      = 1/2(20)(400)

      = 10(400)

      = 400 J

Therefore, the K.E is doubled when doubled the mass.

Therefore, the Kinetic energy and mass are _directly_ proportional.
