A boat takes 4.0 h to travel 36 km down a river, then 5.0 h to return.how fast is the river flowing

Physics

dem82 [27]3 years ago
5 0
<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>

The Earth, the Sun, and the rest of the solar system are almost unimaginably old when viewed on a human time scale. While modern
Zielflug [23.3K]
<span>While modern humans first evolved approximately 200,000 years ago,
the age of the Earth, the Sun, and the rest of the solar system is believed
to be approximately 4.6 billion years.

That makes the Earth, the Sun, and the rest of the solar system
something like  23 thousand times  as old as the human species !

Newton’s Laws of Motion are absolute in classical physics. One example that uses all three laws simultaneously is the firing of
Debora [2.8K]
I think that by "Classical physics" is meant low speed things. By low speed, I think is meant speed far below very roughly half the speed of light, so that Relativistic, special or general, effects can be ignored. Or at least it is hoped that they can be ignored. 
Fire extinguishers and rockets get propelled by forcing out large amounts of material (gases under very high pressure) through a nozzle, and the RECOIL from that propels something forward. So, if the action is the ejection of material, the reaction (recoil) is the ejector moving along the same line in the other direction. And that's an example of Newton's third law. 
Given a propulsion system, the magnitude of the force recoiling on the ejector will change the momentum of the ejector, often written as the equation F=ma where F is the force, m is the mass being accelerated, and a being the acceleration.
Just as something will stay still until it is moved - inertia - so once set in uniform motion in a straight line, the thing will continue in that motion, theoretically for ever or until something alters its momentum. Newton's first law is to the effect of "every body continues in a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless acted on by a resultant external force". Which, I think, is where the concept of inertia stems from. 
I think that the above mostly tcuches on the 3 laws.Any more help needed, please ask.
