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.

How do we know that solar system formed from a spinning disk of gas and dust
Mademuasel [1]

The evidence of this research is published in the scientific journal Nature communication.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Our solar system shaped about 4.5 billion years prior from a thick haze of interstellar gas and residue. The cloud crumbled, potentially due to the shock wave of a close by detonating star, called a supernova. At the point when this residue cloud crumbled, it framed a sun powered cloud—a turning, whirling plate of material.

The research is distributed in the latest issue of journal Nature Communications. About 4.6 billion years prior, a haze of gas and residue that in the end framed our nearby planetary group was upset. The following gravitational breakdown framed the proto-Sun with an encompassing plate where the planets were conceived.

The gravitational force, F, between an object and the Earth is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the obj

<h2>Weight of astronaut 2450 miles above the Earth is 80.38 pounds</h2>

Explanation:

Given that gravitational force, F, between an object and the Earth is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the object and the center of the Earth.

             F=\frac{k}{r^2}

Where F is gravitational force  between an object and the Earth, r is the distance from the object and the center of the Earth and k is a constant.

Radius of Earth = 4000 miles

In case 1 an astronaut weighs 209 pounds on the surface of the Earth,

              209=\frac{k}{4000^2}\\\\k=3.344\times 10^9

Now we need to find weight of astronaut 2450 miles above the Earth    

              r = 4000 + 2450 = 6450 miles

               F=\frac{k}{6450^2}\\\\F=\frac{3.344\times 10^9}{6450^2}=80.38pounds

Weight of astronaut 2450 miles above the Earth is 80.38 pounds

We are sending a 30 Mbit file from source host A to destination host B. All links in the path between source and destination hav
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

t=1.5\times 10^{-4}\ s

Explanation:

Given:

  • file size to be transmitted, D=30\ Mb
  • transmission rate of data, \dot D=10\ Mb.s^{-1}
  • propagation speed, v=2\times 10^8\ m.s^{-1}
  • distance of data transfer, s=10000\ km=10^4\ m

<u>Now the delay in data transfer from source to destination for each 10 Mb:</u>

t'=\frac{s}{v}

t'=\frac{10^4}{2\times 10^8}

t'=5\times 10^{-5}\ s

<u>Now this time is taken for each 10 Mb of data transfer and we have 30 Mb to transfer:</u>

So,

t=3\times t'

t=3\times 5\times 10^{-5}

t=1.5\times 10^{-4}\ s
