You are in a speedboat on a river moving in the same direction as the current. The speedometer on the boat shows that its speed

is 20 km/h. However, a person on the shore measures the boat's speed as 23 km/h. How is this possible?

From the reference point of the river, the speed of the boat is 20 km/h. From the reference point of someone standing on the shore, the speed of the boat is the speed on the speedometer plus the downstream speed of the current.

6, P 14 are consecutive terms in an AP<br>find the value of P.​
xenn [34]

In an arithmetic progression, consecutive terms differ by the same value.

So, we have

P-6 = 14-P

which reflects the fact that the difference between P and 6 must be the same than the one between P and 14.

The equation solves to

2P=20\iff P=10

And in fact, if you start with

6, 10, 14

every pair of consecutive terms differ by 4.

A person drops a brick from the top of a building. The height of the building is 400 m and the mass of the brick is 2.00 kg. Wh
DaniilM [7]
-- It takes the brick 8.9 seconds to reach the ground. 

-- At the instant of the "splat", it's falling at 89 m/s.

-- The mass doesn't matter. If not for air resistance, every object
    would fall at the same rate.  The answer is the same for a feather,
    a rubber chicken, a brick, or a school bus.

A kid pulls on a rope with 20 newtons of force. The block and tackle system pulls up a 160 newton box. What is the mechanical ad
Minchanka [31]
Answer:
The mechanical advantage of the system is 8

Explanation:
the mechanical advantage measures how much the system multiplies the input force to get the output.

In the given:
The input force (effort) is 20 Newton
The output force (load) is 160 Newton

This means that the mechanical advantage is:
mechanical advantage = load / effort = 160 / 20 = 8

Note that the mechanical advantage is unit-less (has no unit) since it is a ratio between two forces.

Hope this helps :)
