John has a boat that will travel at the rate of 15 kph in still water. he can go upstream for 35 km in the same time it takes to

go 140 km downstream. how fast is his boat traveling when he goes downstream? 22 kph 24 kph 26 kph

Let F = the downstream speed of the water. 

<span>Then the boat's upstream speed is: 15 - F </span>
<span>The boat's downstream speed is: 15 + F </span>


<span>Assume both the journeys mentioned take T hours, then using "speed x time = distance" we get: </span>

<span>Downstream journey: (15 + F)T = 140 </span>
<span>Upstream journey: (15 - F)T = 35 </span>


<span>Add the two formulae together: </span>

<span>(15 + F)T + (15 - F)T = 140 + 35 </span>

<span>15T + FT + 15T - FT = 175 </span>

<span>30T = 175 </span>

<span>T = 35/6 </span>


<span>Use one of the equations to find F: </span>

<span>(15 + F)T = 140 </span>

<span>15 + F = 140/T </span>
<span>F = 140/T - 15 </span>
<span>F = 140/(35/6) - 15 </span>
<span>F = 24 - 15 </span>
<span>F = 9 </span>

<span>i.e. the downstream speed of the water is 9 kph </span>

<span>Therefore, the boat's speed downstream is 15 + F = 15 + 9 = 24 kph.
the answer is:                       *24kph*</span>

The amplitude, or magnitude, of a sinusoidal source is the maximum value of the source. What is the amplitude of the voltage sou
liraira [26]

Answer:

<em>A = 0.05 V</em>

Explanation:

<u>Sinusoidal Functions</u>

A sinusoid or sinusoidal function is a sine or cosine which general equation is

F(x)=A.sin(wt-\phi)

Or also

F(x)=A.cos(wt-\phi)

Where A is the amplitude or maximum value, w is the angular frequency, t is the time and \phi is the phase shift.

Comparing the given expression with the general formula

v(t)=50cos(2000t-45^o) mV

We can establish that A=50 mV = 0.05 V

A = 0.05\ V

If a certain shade of blue has a frequency of 7.33 x 10^14Hz what is the energy of exactly one photon of this light. Is this as
geniusboy [140]
In calculating the energy of a photon of light, we need the relationship for energy and the frequency which is expressed as:
 
E=hv

where h is the Planck's constant (6.626 x 10-34 J s)and v is the frequency.
E = 6.626 x 10-34 J s (<span>7.33 x 10^14 /s) = 4.857 x 10^-19 J</span>

Calculate the current flowing if a charge of 36 kilocoulombs flows in 1 hour.
o-na [289]

Answer:

Current = 10 Amperes.

Explanation:

Given the following dat;

Quantity of charge, Q = 36 kilocoulombs (KC) = 36 * 1000 = 36000C

Time = 1 hour to seconds = 60*60 = 3600 seconds

To find the current;

Quantity of charge = current * time

Substituting in the equation

36000 = current * 3600

Current = 36000/3600

Current = 10 Amperes.

Why does increasing the number of trials increase confidence in the results of the experiment?
Paladinen [302]
It increases confidence because the more times you conduct the same experiment over and over should either prove your hypothesis right and wrong and eliminate any random occurrences that might affect your results.
