Alicia can row 6 miles downstream in the same time it takes her to row 4 miles upstream. She rows downstream 3 miles/hour faster

than she rows upstream. Find Alicia’s rowing rate each way. Round your answers to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

Let us assume the upstream rowing rate of Alicia = x
Let us assume the downstream rowing rate of Alicia = y
We already know that
Travelling time = Distance traveled/rowing rate
Then
6/(x + 3) = 4/x
6x = 4x + 12
6x - 4x = 12
2x = 12
x = 6
Then
Rowing rate of Alicia going upstream = 6 miles per hour
Rowing rate of Alicia going downstream = 9 miles per hour.

Radio waves travel at a speed of 300,000,000 m/s. WFNX broadcasts radio waves at a
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Wavelength, \lambda=2.94\ m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of radio waves is v=3\times 10^8\ m/s

Frequency of radio waves is f = 101,700,000 Hz

We need to find the wavelength of WFNX’s radio waves. The relation between wavelength, frequency and speed of a wave is given by :

v=f\lambda

\lambda is wavelength

\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{101,700,000}\\\\\lambda=2.94\ m

So, the wavelength of WFNX’s radio waves is 2.94 m.

At which angle must a laser beam enter the water for no refraction to occur?
abruzzese [7]

Light that enters the new medium <em>perpendicular to the surface</em> keeps sailing straight through the new medium unrefracted (in the same direction).

Perpendicular to the surface is the "normal" to the surface. So the angle of incidence (angle between the laser and the normal) is zero, and the law of refraction (just like the law of reflection) predicts an angle of zero between the normal and the refracted (or the reflected) beam.

Moral of the story:  If you want your laser to keep going in the same direction after it enters the water, or to bounce back in the same direction it came from when it hits the mirror, then shoot it <em>straight on</em> to the surface, perpendicular to it.

List at least three pieces of evidence to support the idea that sound is a wave.
Schach [20]

Answer:

1. It undergoes reflection. 2. It undergoes refraction. 3. It undergoes diffraction.

Explanation:

1. It undergoes reflection. This is because it bounces off surfaces when incident on them.

2. It undergoes refraction. This is because it changes direction when it passes from one medium to another

3. It undergoes diffraction. This is because it spreads out when it passes through doors and windows similar in dimension to the dimensions of its wavelength

Pierre cycles at 4 miles per hour and travels a distance of 13 miles. How long
amm1812

Answer:

His journey took him 3 hours 15 minutes.

Explanation: 4 miles every hour. So 1 hr is equal to 4 miles, 2 hrs is equal to 8 miles, 3 hrs is equal to 12 miles. Now he just has 1 miles left, and since it takes him a hour to cycle 4 miles, 60 divided by 4 is 15. Therefore, 1 mile is equal to 15 minutes.
