Let x mph be the speed of the ship in still water.
Against the current, the net speed is, (x-1.9) mph.
Time, t= distance, d/ Speed, v => 9= 113.4/(x-1.9) => 9(x-1.9) = 113.4 => x-1.9 = 113.4/9 => x = 12.6+1.9 = 14.5 mph

Moving with the current, the net speed of the ship = 14.5+1.9 =16.4 mph

Time take, t = d/v = 113.4/16.4 = 6.915 hours

An 85 kg man and his 35 kg daughter are sitting on opposite ends of a 3.00 m see-saw. The see-saw is anchored in the center. If
wolverine [178]

Answer:

0.54m

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

length of seesaw= 3m

mass of man m1= 85kg

weight = mg

W1= 85*10= 850N

mass of daughter m2= 35kg

W2= 35*10= 350N

distance from the center= (1.5-0.2)= 1.3m

Step two:

we know that the sum of clockwise moment equals the anticlockwise moment

let the distance the must sit to balance the system be x

taking moment about the center of the system

350*1.3=850*x

455=850x

divide both sides by  850

x=455/850

x=0.54

Hence the man must sit 0.54m from the right to balance the system

Which of the following is not a nutrient? Minerals, probiotics, lipids or proteins. Why?
Tju [1.3M]
Sorta stuck between minerals and lips
Minerals; Minerals are, unlike vitamins, inorganic substances. All vitamins are identified as key nutrients: the body cannot produce them and so they must be obtained through diet; minerals are similarly identified as key nutrients. Vitamins and minerals are equally essential for the healthy functioning of the body.
But then there’s lipids
Lipids; Lipids are a group of structurally and functionally diverse organic compounds that are insoluble in water. Certain classes of lipids, such as fats, phospholipids

A train starts from rest and travels for 5.0 s with a uniform acceleration of 1.5 m/s2. What is the final velocity of the train?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Final speed of the train is 7.5 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Uniform acceleration of the train is, a = 1.5 m/s²

It starts from rest and travels for 5.0 s. We have to find the final velocity of the train. By using first equation of motion as :

v=u+at

Here, train starts from rest so, u = 0

v=0+1.5\ m/s^2\times 5\ s  

v = 7.5 m/s

So, the final velocity of the train is 7.5 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Zak, helping his mother rearrange the furniture in their living room, moves a 60 kg sofa 5.9 m with a constant force of 40 N. Wh
Len [333]

Answer:236 J

Explanation:

Given

Mass of sofa m=60 kg

Displacement s=5.9 m

Force F=40 N

neglecting Friction

Work done is given by

W=F\cdot s

W=F\cdot s\cos 0

W=40\cdot 5.9

W=236 J
