<span>The current is 6 miles per hour.
Let's create a few equations:
Traveling with the current:
(18 + c)*t = 16
Traveling against the current:
(18 - c)*t = 8
Let's multiply the 2nd equation by 2
(18 - c)*t*2 = 16
Now subtract the 1st equation from the equation we just doubled.
(18 - c)*t*2 = 16
(18 + c)*t = 16
(18 - c)*t*2 - (18 + c)*t = 0
Divide both sides by t
(18 - c)*2 - (18 + c) = 0
Now solve for c
(18 - c)*2 - (18 + c) = 0
36 - 2c - 18 - c = 0
36 - 2c - 18 - c = 0
18 - 3c = 0
18 = 3c
6 = c
So the current is 6 mph.
Let's verify that.
(18 + 6)*t = 16
24*t = 16
t = 16/24 = 2/3
(18 - 6)*t = 8
12*t = 8
t = 8/12 = 2/3
And it's verified.</span>
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
Light bounces off of the mirror and then appears to come from behind the mirror.
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- <u><em>Plane mirrors form images that are virtual, upright and the same size and shape as the object it is reflecting.</em></u>
- <em><u>When rays of light from the object hits a plane mirror they bounces off the mirror,that is they undergo reflection, and appear to originate from behind the mirror, resulting to the formation of a virtual image.</u></em>
- The image formed appears to be behind the plane in which the mirror lies. A virtual image is an image that is formed at a location from which the rays of light appear to come from. The image can not be formed on a screen.
Answer:
735 J
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Weight (W) = 49 N
Height (h) = 15 m
Potential energy =?
Potential energy is simply defined as the product of weight of the object and height to which the object is raised. Mathematically, it is expressed as:
Potential energy = weight × height
With the above formula, we can obtain the potential energy of the coconut as follow:
Weight (W) = 49 N
Height (h) = 15 m
Potential energy =?
Potential energy = weight × height
Potential energy = 49 × 15
Potential energy = 735 J
Thus, the potential energy of the coconut is 735 J
