Upstream speed: v - u
Downstream speed: v + u
Total distance: 2d

A) total time = d / (v - u)  + d / (v + u)

B) Average speed = total distance / total time
V(av) = 2d / [ d / (v -  u) + d / (v + u) ]
V(av) = 2d / [d(v + u + v - u) / (v - u)(v + u) ]
V(av) = (v² - u²) / v

C) If u is 0, her average speed will be the greatest, equal to v

loris [4]

Answer:

Evaporative Water Loss = 2 kg

Explanation:

According to the given condition, the water entering the body must be equal to the water leaving the body. Therefore,

Water Entering the Body = Water Leaving the Body

Feed Water + Drinking Water + Metabolic Water = Urine Water + Evaporative Water Loss

using the given values:

1 kg + 5 kg + 0.5 kg = 4.5 kg + Evaporative Water Loss

Evaporative Water Loss = 1 kg + 5 kg + 0.5 kg - 4.5 kg

<u>Evaporative Water Loss = 2 kg</u>

The speed of the center of the earth as it orbits the sun is 107257 kmph and the absolute angular velocity of the earth about it
Sindrei [870]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Speed ,v_0=107257 kmph

Angular velocity,\omega=7.292\times 10^{-5} rad/s

Radius of earth,r=6371 km=6371000 m

1 km=1000 m

Linear velocity,v=r\omega=6371000\times 7.292\times 10^{-5}=464.57 m/s

Linear velocity,v=464.57\times \frac{18}{5}=1672.46 km/h

Velocity at point A,v_A=-vi+v_0 j=-1672.46 i+107257j kmph

Velocity at point B,v_B=v_0j-vj=107257j-1672.46j=105584.54j kmph

Velocity at point C,v_C=v_0j+vi=1672.46 i+107257j kmph

Velocity at point  D,v_D=v_0j+vj=107257j+1672.46j=108929.46jkmph

Ksivusya [100]
<span>Diamond slowdown light more than Quartz , because diamonds have a greater index of refraction. Light will bend when its move from one medium to another. The Index of Refraction of Material is found by comparing the speed of light in their respective mediums.</span>
