A child is in danger of drowning in the Merimac river. The Merimac river has a current of 3.1 km/hr to the east. The child is 0.

6 km from the shore and 2.5 km upstream from the dock. A rescue boat with speed 24.8 km/hr (with respect to the water) sets off from the dock at the optimum angle to reach the child as fast as possible. How far from the dock does the boat reach the child?

In a problem where a child is danger form drowning from a river who has a current of 3.1km/hr to east and the child is 0.6km fro the shore and the upstream is 2,5km from the dock. So base on the question the boat with a speed of 24.8 km/hr is 1.9 km because the child is 0.6 km off the dock so 2.5 minus 0.6

Kaylis [27]

The dependent variable is: <em>"number of vocabulary words subjects can remember"</em>

<h3>Which is the dependent variable?</h3>

In an experiment, we basically see how changing one variable affects another variable.

In this case, the experiment is:

<em>" if sleep affects the number of vocabulary words subjects can remember."</em>

Then the hours of sleep would be the independent variable (the one that the scientist can change) and the number of vocabulary words subjects can remember is the dependent variable (that depends on the independent variable).

So the correct answer is:

<em>"number of vocabulary words subjects can remember"</em>

An artist wants to create a metal sculpture using a mold so that his artwork can be readily mass produced. He wants his sculptur
lukranit [14]

Answer:NO

Explanation:

No the mold should not be of the same size as that of sculpture because the material from which molds is made may shrink or expand depending upon its properties .

For example grey cast iron shrinks on cooling.

We need to make mold bigger in general so that if there is a need of finishing it can be done easily without altering the size of sculpture.

According to the graph, what is the motorcycle’s Average velocity ?
borishaifa [10]
According to the position vs time graph, the <em>average</em> <em>velocity</em> of the motorcycle is the change in position divided by the change in time. Also, note that the slope is linear and positive throughout the 5 hours, it doesn't change direction. 

Therefore, we have
Avg velocity = change in direction/change in time
Avg velocity = (150km - 30km)/(5h - 0h)
Avg velocity = 24km/hr south.

An eccentric inventor attempts to levitate a cork ball by wrapping it with foil and placing a large negative charge on the ball
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

because of the idea that like charges get repulsion as a force.

Explanation:

because you wrap the ball with foil, the negative charges will leave the foil and go into the ball by induction. This leaves the foil as a positively charged particle since its electrons left it for the ball, making the ball a negatively charged particle. but if you bring the negative charge near the foil, the electrons will transfer from that and go into the foil, making it negatively charged. Now, because the ball and the foil have the same charge, they repel. the foil flies off.
