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.

A rocket's mass decreases as it burns fuel. the equation of motion for a rocket in vertical flight can be obtained from newton's
Talja [164]

<span>The equation of motion for a rocket in vertical flight can be obtained from newton’s second law of motion and is constant-mass system. The equation of motion for a body mass varies with time and mass. When force acts on rocket, the rocket will accelerate in the direction of force. Therefore, force is equal to the change in momentum per change in time. For constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration.</span>

Which of the following statements are true concerning the creation of magnetic fields? Check all that apply. Check all that appl
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

A permanent magnet creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

An electric current in a conductor creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

A moving electric charge creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

Explanation:

Magnet field is a region around the magnet in which the magnetic force can be experienced. A magnet has two poles: North pole and South pole. A Magnetic field originates from north pole and ends at south pole.

Magnets are of two types: Permanent magnet and temporary magnet.

A moving charge produces magnetic field. A stationary charge can not produce a magnetic field.

The rate of flowing charge constitutes an electric current. If the cardboard is placed around the current carrying conductor and the iron fillings spread around the cardboard then the iron nails get stick to it. It means that a current carrying conductor creates a magnetic field around it.

Therefore, the true statements from the given statements are as follows;

A permanent magnet creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

An electric current in a conductor creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

A moving electric charge creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.

You are on a train that is traveling at 3.0 m/s along a level straight track. Very near and parallel to the track is a wall that
loris [4]

Questions Diagram is attached below

Answer:

T=2.08s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Speed of Train V=3.0m.s

Angle \theta=12\textdegree

Height of window h_w=0.90m

Width of window w_w=2.0m

The Horizontal distance between B and A from Trigonometric Laws is mathematically given by

 b=\frac{0.9}{tan12}

 b=4.23

Therefore

Distance from A-A

 d_a=2.0+4.23

 d_a=6.23

Therefore

Time Required to travel trough d is mathematically given as

 T=\frac{d_a}{v}

 T=\frac{6.23}{3}

 T=2.08s

A woman throws a javelin 35 mph at an angle 30 degrees from the ground. Neglecting wind resistance or the height the javelin thr
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

35 mph

Explanation:

The key of this problem lies in understanding the way that projectile motion works as we are told to neglect the height of the javelin thrower and wind resistance.

When the javelin is thown, its velocity will have two components: a x component and a y component. The only acceleration that will interact with the javelin after it was thown will be the gravety, which has a -y direction. This means that the x component of the velocity will remain constant, and only the y component will be affected, and can be described with the constant acceleration motion properties.

When an object that moves in constant acceleration motion, the time neccesary for it to desaccelerate from a velocity v to 0, will be the same to accelerate the object from 0 to v. And the distance that the object will travel in both desaceleration and acceleration will be exactly the same.

So, when the javelin its thrown, it willgo up until its velocity in the y component reaches 0. Then it will go down, and it will reach reach the ground in the same amount of time it took to go up and, therefore, with the same velocity.
