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>

Can someone explain to me #4.
nalin [4]
A) We balance the masses: 4(1.00728) vs 4.0015 + 2(0.00055)4.02912 vs. 4.0026This shows a "reduced mass" of 4.02912 - 4.0026 = 0.02652 amu. This is also equivalent to 0.02652/6.02E23 = 4.41E-26 g = 4.41E-29 kg.
b) Using E = mc^2, where c is the speed of light, multiplying 4.41E-29 kg by (3E8 m/s)^2 gives 3.96E-12 J of energy.
c) Since in the original equation, there is only 1 helium atom, we multiply the energy result in b) by 9.21E19 to get 3.65E8 J of energy, or 365 MJ of energy.

A proton is projected into a magnetic field that is directed along the positive x axis. Find the direction of the magnetic force
bulgar [2K]

Te direction of the magnetic force for the velocity of the proton in the

-ve  y direction will be +ve z direction.

As we know that the right-hand rule is based on the relation of magnetic fields and the forces that they exert on moving charges.When a charged particle moves under a magnetic field, it exerts a force on the particle, which is not in the same direction but different than the direction of the magnetic field.Under the right-hand rule,  if we point our pointer finger in the direction of the charged particle is moving and the middle finger is representing the direction of the magnetic field then our thumb depicts the direction of the magnetic force which is exerted on the charged particle.

So,  we are given that the direction of the velocity of the proton is in the negative y direction and the direction of the magnetic field is in the positive x  direction,  so the magnetic force is acting in the positive z direction.

To know  more about the right-hand rule refer to the link brainly.com/question/9750730?referrer=searchResults.

Breathing on a cold window can cause it to fog up. which change of state causes this
Dominik [7]
When you breathe on a cold window and it fogs up, that change of state is called: Condensation.

Condensation is: The process in which molecules of a gas slow down, come together, and form a liquid water that collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.

I know this because I learned it in science class in school.

Hope I helped!

You are going 30 m/s in a car of mass 1000 kg when you reach a red light and stop your car.
Radda [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The kinetic energy will convert to heat energy (provided the car has friction brakes and not regenerative brakes as might be found on an electric or hybrid) Also<u> assuming level road</u>.

E = ½mv² = ½(1000)30² = 450,000 J
