You and some friends decide to take a canoe trip down the Wood River. The stretch of river you are traveling flows at a roughly

constant speed of 2 mph. You are able to paddle your canoe at a speed of 3 mph relative to the water. Unbeknownst to you, shortly after you set off down the river, your keys fall into the river. Fortunately, they are attached to a floating key chain. After two hours of paddling, you notice they are missing. You turn around and paddle upstream looking for them. About how long will it take you to find your keys? Assume they move along steadily with the current and that you spot them as soon as they are within a few feet of your canoe.

Answer:

t= 1.2 hours

Explanation:

Define first di distance between the points, so

\bar{x}_{canoe}=2*(2+3)=10

\bar{x}_{water}=2*2=4

The distance is

d= \bar{x}_{canoe}- \bar{x}_{water}

d= 10-4 = 6miles

t = \frac{x}{v} = \frac{6}{2+3}

t= 1.2 hours

When you sit in a chair, your body exerts a downward force on the chair. What
Ahat [919]

I feel like the answer would be B. The chair pushes down on the floor becuase the question says when you sit in a chair, your body exerts a downward force on the chair so it would be pushing downward meaning that the chair would also go down making it push onto the floor.

What is the least force you could exert on the refrigerator to move it?
Ulleksa [173]
 <span>If the refrigerator weights 1365 and you are not exerting any vertical force on it, then the normal force is also 1365N. so Fn=1365 

Fsf = Static frictional force = (coefficient of static friction) * (Normal force) 

So the least for you could exert to move it is equal to the Fsf. 
Fsf = (0.49)(1365N)</span><span>
