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".

if the primary gear ratio in a drill is 4:1 and secondary gear ratio is also 4:1 what is the overall gear ratio of the drill

Radda [10]

I believe the answer would be 16:1
This can be looked at by assuming the motor speed is say 2000 RPM. Through the first reduction it is reduced 4 times to 500 RPM. The second reduction of 4:1 reduces it down to 125 RPM. The total reduction is the motor speed of 2000 RPM divided by the final speed of 125 or 16. A gear ratio is the ratio used to determine the angular speed and torque of a geared system.
