Answer:

The actual velocity of the canoe is 17 mi/hr in downward direction.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Velocity of canoe, $v_c=5\ mi/hr$ (downstream)

Velocity of stream, $v_s=12\ mi/hr$

We need to find the actual velocity of the canoe. Let it is equal to v. As it is clear that both velocities are in same direction. So, the actual velocity of the canoe is given by the sum of velocity of canoe and the stream.

$v=v_c+v_s$

$v=5+12$

v = 17 mi/hr

Since, the velocity is positive. It means it is in downstream direction. So, the correct option is (d) "17 mi/hr, downstream".

All cells contain a phosphate buffer system within their internal fluid to help maintain a constant pH. This system can be summa

Sloan [31]

The correct answer is A. maintaining homeostasis.
Homeostasis is a term referring to an organisms continuous process of maintaining and auto-regulating the conditions of its internal environment. Variables such as pH, temperature, and fluid balance need to be at optimal conditions in order for the organism to function properly.
In this example, the phosphate buffer system permits the organisms to maintain a constant pH in their intracellular fluid. This is one of the organism's homeostatic mechanisms.

How do you find per capita growth rate over a month?

Rufina [12.5K]

All you have to do is take the CGR (capita growth rate) percentage you just found and divide it by the number of years, months, etc. The complete formula for annual per capita growth rate is: ((G / N) * 100) / t, where t is the number of years.
