Are you ready for a brain twister? murphy can row at 5 kmph in still water. if the velocity of current is 1 kmph and it takes hi

Answer: 2.4km

In this case, Murphy is <span>rowing to a place and come back so he was going 2x of the place distance. That means when he goes to the place the current velocity is helping him(5+1 kmph) and when he comes back the current velocity is slowing him(5-1kmph).
To calculate the place distance, the calculation would be:
X/6kmph + X/4kmph= 1 hour
</span>X/6kmph + 1.5X/6kmph= 1 hour
<span>2.5X/6kmph= 1hour
2.5X= 1 hour x 6km/ hour
X= 6km/2.5
X= 2.4km
</span>

What causes irregular galaxies to be irregular
Mariulka [41]

Irregular galaxies get their odd shapes in many ways. One way irregular galaxies are formed is when galaxies collide or come close to one another, and their gravitational forces interact. Another source of irregular galaxies may be very young galaxies that have not yet reached a symmetrical state.

A Ford Mustang weighs about 3500 pounds, and can accelerate from 0-60 MPH in about 5 seconds. What force is responsible for this
Hunter-Best [27]

We will apply the concepts related to Newton's second law. At the same time we will convert everything to the system of international units.

m = 3500lb = 1587.57kg

The values of the velocities are,

\text{Initial Velocity} = V_i = 0

\text{Final Velocity} = V_f = 60mph = 26.822m/s

We know that the acceleration is equivalent to the change of the speed in a certain time therefore

a = \frac{v_f-v_i}{t}

a = \frac{26.822-0}{5}

a = 5.36m/s^2

Now applying the Newton's second law we have,

F= ma

F = (1587.57)(5.36)

F = 8516.36N

Therefore the approximate magnitude is 8516.36N

The waste products of a nuclear fission powerplant can best be described as
OverLord2011 [107]
A.
 
-> the products are stable atoms with a much lower atomic number. For example, Uranium 238 commonly breaks down into strontium and xenon, both of which are stable and non-radioactive.

They are also low in quantity because of the precision involved in breaking down a large atom via neutron capture means that few fission reactions take place.

Hope I helped :)

A plastic rod that has been charged to − 16 nC touches a metal sphere. Afterward, the rod's charge is − 10 nC . What kind of cha
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Electron.

From plastic rod to metal sphere.

Explanation:

The charged plastic rod is negatively charged, which means it contains excess electrons.

After they touch each other, the plastic rod now has a more positive value.

Since the sphere is a metal sphere, it is able to conduct the flow of electrons.

Hence, the plastic rod has given off some of its electrons to the metal sphere.
