Answer:

Rate of boat in still water = 5mile/hour

Rate of the current= 1 mile/hr

Explanation:

The boat is moving upstream at the rate= 12miles/3hours= 4mph

The boat is moving downstream at the rate = 12miles/2hours = 6mph

Let y be the speed of boat

And C the current of water

Y + C = 6 ...eq1

Y - C = 4 ...eq2

Adding eq1 and eq2

2Y = 10

Y= 10/2 = 5

Y= 5mph

Put Y = 5 in eq2

5 + C = 6

C = 6 - 5

C= 1 mph

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

0.78 m

Explanation:

The relationship between wavelength and frequency of a wave is given by

v=f \lambda

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency

\lambda is the wavelength

For the sound wave in this problem, we have

f=440 Hz is the frequency

v = 344 m/s is the speed of sound in air

Substituting into the equation and re-arranging it, we find the wavelength:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{344 m/s}{440 Hz}=0.78 m

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

<h2>135,000 J</h2>

Explanation:

The work done by an object can be found by using the formula

workdone = force × distance

From the question we have

workdone = 900 × 150

We have the final answer as

<h3>135,000 J</h3>

REY [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

From newton's equation of motion of uniform acceleration

v = u + at

where v is final velocity , u is initial velocity , a is acceleration and time is t .

putting the values

v  =  0 + .5 x 3 x 60  ( time in second = 3 x 60 s )

= 90 m /s

So  , final velocity is 90 m /s .

Explain why an egg thrown at a concrete wall will break, but an egg thrown at a sheet hanging from the ceiling will not. (Be sur
Firlakuza [10]

An egg thrown at a concrete wall will break, but an egg thrown at a sheet hanging from the ceiling will not due to high momentum and acceleration.

<h3>Why an egg thrown at a concrete wall will break?</h3>

An egg thrown at a concrete wall will break, but an egg thrown at a sheet hanging from the ceiling will not because the momentum and acceleration increases when the egg is thrown downward due to gravity but when we throw an egg in the vertical direction, they move against gravity so the momentum and acceleration decreases.

So we can conclude that an egg thrown at a concrete wall will break, but an egg thrown at a sheet hanging from the ceiling will not due to high momentum and acceleration.
