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.

1. Most of the stars on the HR Diagram are classified as which type of star?
xenn [34]

Answer:

1. Main Sequence - middle life 17

2. red

3. blue

4. White dwarf stars are much hotter than Red Supergiants 15. List the color of the stars from hottest to coldest: Blue, White, Yellow, Orange, Red 16.

5. red giants

Explanation:

Main sequence stars have a Morgan-Keenan luminosity class labeled V. red giant and supergiant stars (luminosity classes I through III) occupy the region above the main sequence. They have low surface temperatures and high luminosities which, according to the Stefan-Boltzmann law, means they also have large radii. White dwarf stars are much hotter than Red Supergiants 15. List the color of the stars from hottest to coldest: Blue, White, Yellow, Orange, Red 16. The hottest stars are the blue stars. A star appears blue once its surface temperature gets above 10,000 Kelvin, or so, a star will appear blue to our eyes. The lowest temperature stars are red while the hottest stars are blue. Astronomers are able to measure the temperatures of the surfaces of stars by comparing their spectra to the spectrum of a black body. Most stars, including the sun, are "main sequence stars," fueled by nuclear fusion converting hydrogen into helium. ...

As stars begin to die, they become giants and supergiants (above the main sequence).

A rock is thrown at an angle of 60∘ to the ground. If the rock lands 25m away, what was the initial speed of the rock? (Assume a
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

v_0 = 16.82\ m/s

Explanation:

given,

angle at which rock is thrown = 60°

rock lands at distance,d = 25 m

initial speed of rock, = ?

In horizontal direction

distance = speed x time

d = v₀ cos 60° t

25 = v₀ cos 60° t............(1)

now,

in vertical direction

displacement in vertical direction is zero

using equation of motion

s = ut +\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

0 =v_0 sin 60^0 t - 4.9 t^2

v_o sin 60^0 = 4.9 t

t = \dfrac{v_0 sin 60^0}{4.9}

putting the value of t in equation (1)

25 = v_0 cos 60^0\times \dfrac{v_0 sin 60^0}{4.9}

25 =\dfrac{v_0^2cos 60^0 sin 60^0}{4.9}v

v_0^2 = 282.90

v_0 = 16.82\ m/s

Hence, the initial speed of the rock is equal to 16.82 m/s
