<span>Let us refer to boat speed as X and water speed as Y On the way down the stream, the water speed is added to the speed of the boat: speed of the boat (X) + water speed (Y) is 9km/h When the boat is moving upstream, water speed is taken away from the speed of the boat: Speed of the boat (X) - water speed (Y) is 7.2 km/h Therefore: X + Y = 9 : X - Y = 7.2 2X = 16.2 X = 8.1 X + Y = 9 8.1 + Y = 9 Y = 0.9 The river is flowing at 0.9 km/h</span>

A cube of plastic 1.2x10^-5 km on a side has a mas of 1.1 g. what is its density in g/cm^3?
Mamont248 [21]
Density = mass / volume

mass = 1.1 g

volume = length of side ^ 3 = [1.2 * 10^-5 km * 100000 cm/km]^3 = [1.2 cm]^3 = 1.728 cm^3

density = 1.1 g / 1.728 cm^3 = 0.64 g / cm^3

When the palmaris longus muscle in the forearm is flexed, the wrist moves back and forth. If the muscle generates a force of 49.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

1.1397 Nm

Explanation:

When the palmaris longus muscle in the forearm is flexed, the wrist moves back and forth.

If the muscle generates a force

F =  49.5 N and r = 2.65 cm , then the torque is equal to rF

we see that r = 2.65 cm = 0.0265 m

therefore

torque = 0.0265 x 49.5

= 1.1397 Nm

if the distance of separation begin two objects is doubled, is the gravitational force between the objects increased or decrease
SashulF [63]

Answer:

force is decreased by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

According to the Newton's law of gravitation, the force of gravitation between the two object is inversely proportional to the square of distance between them. Now the distance is doubled, so the force between the two objects becomes one forth.

Force is decreased by a factor or 4.

Review the Four Social Errors and Biases in the Highlights area on page 127 in Ch. 4 of THiNK: Critical Thinking and Logic Skill
AysviL [449]

Answer: Provided in the explanation

Explanation:

I have understood that I have been influenced by the 'affinity bias' for quite a while. It caused me to feel fascination and feel better and right about individuals who had comparable intrigue and thought designs. I sort of began to feel this is the one for me based on those likenesses yet later used to be miserable when I comprehended that those similitudes are not many and insufficient consistently. I have begun to beat this inclination by rehearsing self reflection. I have begun to think about what causes me to feel pulled in to somebody and on the off chance that I introspect that it's exclusively founded on likenesses, at that point I cause myself to get that and monitoring that helps in escaping the inclination.

I make an effort not to get into the snare of paradoxes in my own announcements yet I have been forced to bear deceptions during contentions. One deception which I have encountered most is the 'Foul play' error as there have been a great deal of occurrences when individuals began to tear down me and my family when they couldn't win on a contention regarding balanced and rationale.

Basic reasoning causes us in understanding our defects and those issues of our own which keeps us from taking better choices and furthermore forestalls us tackling issues in more successful manners. Through basic reasoning, one can reflect and recognize utilization of deceptions in the contentions and that will help him in deciphering the circumstance from an alternate perspective. He will assess the circumstance better and through appropriate induction, he will have the option to get over those issues in thinking and subsequently, have the option to take better and more powerful choices for taking care of an issue.

The most fascinating idea which I have learned is that of the utilization of reflection or explicitly self reflection to comprehend ourselves better and furthermore to display basic reasoning appropriately. Being said that, I am a still somewhat confused about the manners by which we can reflect appropriately at each circumstance in a successful manner. This disarray remains in light of the fact that most deceptions and predispositions are oblivious in nature while the basic considering aptitudes reflection is cognizant and I meander whether a cognizant ability will have the option to break down and distinguish each oblivious inclinations or whether a few guards will keep a few inclinations covered up.
