Let vb be the velocity of the motorboat and let vs be the velocity of the stream.

We know that when she drives upstream the velocity is 8 m/s, in this scenario the velocities point in opposite directions, then we have the equations:

v_b-v_s=8

When she drives downstream the velocites point in the same direction then we have the equation:

v_b+v_s=12

hence we have the system of equations:

\begin{gathered} v_b-v_s=8 \\ v_b+v_s=12 \end{gathered}

Solving the first equation for the velocity of the boat we have:

v_b=8+v_s

Plugging this in the second equation we have:

\begin{gathered} 8+v_s+v_s=12 \\ 2v_s=4 \\ v_s=\frac{4}{2} \\ v_s=2 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the velocity of the stream is 2 m/s

natta225 [31]

The EMT must assume that any unwitnessed water-related incident is accompanied by potential spinal damage.

<h3>What is spinal damage?</h3>
  • Nerves or the spinal cord in any way damaged at the end of the spinal canal.
  • A rapid strike or cut to the spine can cause a traumatic spinal cord damage.
  • Below the damage site, a spinal cord injury frequently results in a lifelong loss of strength, feeling, and function.
  • A lot of people with spinal cord injuries may lead productive, independent lives with the help of rehabilitation and assistive technology.
  • Symptom-reducing medications and spinal stabilisation surgery are used as treatments.
  • Herniated discs are among the common injuries and diseases of the spine. Stenosis of the lower back and Scoliosis are others.
  • After taking part in a rehabilitation programme, over 80% of people with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) can walk again.

Using this formula a = F/m What acceleration results from exerting a 125N force on a 0.65kg
Softa [21]

Answer:

Acceleration = 192.3 m/s² (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Force = 125 N

Mass of ball = 0.65 kg

Find:

Acceleration

Computation:

We know that;

Acceleration = Force / Mas

So,

Acceleration = 125 / 0.65

Acceleration = 192.3 m/s² (Approx.)
