Let us assume the upstream rowing rate of Alicia = x
Let us assume the downstream rowing rate of Alicia = y
We already know that
Travelling time = Distance traveled/rowing rate
Then
6/(x + 3) = 4/x
6x = 4x + 12
6x - 4x = 12
2x = 12
x = 6
Then
Rowing rate of Alicia going upstream = 6 miles per hour
Rowing rate of Alicia going downstream = 9 miles per hour.
Answer:
The magnitude of the tension in the cable, T is 1,064.315 N
Explanation:
Here we have
Length of beam = 4.0 m
Weight = 200 N
Center of mass of uniform beam = mid-span = 2.0 m
Point of attachment of cable = Beam end = 4.0 m
Angle of cable = 53° with the horizontal
Tension in cable = T
Point at which person stands = 1.50 m from wall
Weight of person = 350 N
Therefore,
Taking moment about the wall, we have
∑Clockwise moments = ∑Anticlockwise moments
T×sin(53) = 350×1.5 + 200×2
T = 850/sin(53) = 1,064.315 N.
Answer:
Distance: 21 yd, displacement: 15 yd, gain in the play: 12 yd
Explanation:
The distance travelled by Sam is just the sum of the length of each part of Sam's motion, regardless of the direction. Initially, Sam run from the 3 yd line to the 15 yd line, so (15-3)=12 yd. Then, he run also 9 yd to the right. Therefore, the total distance is
d = 12 + 9 = 21 yd
The displacement instead is a vector connecting the starting point with the final point of the motion. Sam run first 12 yd straight ahead and then 9 yd to the right; these two motions are perpendicular to each other, so we can find the displacement simply by using Pythagorean's theorem:

Finally, the yards gained by Sam in the play are simply given by the distance covered along the forward-backward direction only. Since Sam only run from the 3 yd line to the 15 yd line along this direction, then the gain in this play was
d = 15 - 3 = 12 yd
Well, to be honest, there is no official way to find out which volcano erupted recently as scientists don't have that type of equipment ready or in use at all; also there is no official way [...] because there are always eruptions occurring.
If you want the most known, "Calbuco" is your answer. It erupted in 2014 and it is found in Chile.
