A boat travels upstream for 12 miles in 3 hours and returns in 2 hours traveling downstream in a river. What is the rate of the

boat in still water and the rate of the current?

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

How to change V=72km/hr to m/s
lapo4ka [179]
Multiply by (1000 meters / 1 km).
Then multiply by (1 hour / 3600 seconds).

Both of those fractions are equal to ' 1 ', because the top
and bottom numbers are equal, so the multiplications
won't change the VALUE of the 72 km/hr.  They'll only
change the units.

(72 km/hour) · (1000 meters / 1 km) · (1 hour / 3600 seconds)

= (72 · 1000 / 3600) (km·meter·hour / hour·km·second)

=  20 meter/second

A 125 g pendulum bob hung on a string of length 35 cm has the same period as when the bob is hung from a spring and caused to os
Bingel [31]

Answer:

k = 3.5 N/m

Explanation:

It is given that the time period the bob in pendulum is the same as its time period in spring mass system:

Time\ Period\ of\ Pendulum = Time\ Period\ of\ Spring-Mass\ System\\2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}} = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}

\frac{l}{g} = \frac{m}{k}\\\\ k = g\frac{m}{l}

where,

k = spring constant = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

m = mass of bob = 125 g = 0.125 kg

l = length of pendulum = 35 cm = 0.35 m

Therefore,

k = (9.81\ m/s^2)(\frac{0.125\ kg}{0.35\ m})\\\\

<u>k = 3.5 N/m</u>
