Answer:

4 km/hr

Explanation:

suppose 's' is Diane's speed with no current.

't' represents time in hrs.

Using the formula:

Distance = speed 's' x time 't'

-> when she swims against the current, equation will be,

5= (s-2)t

t= 5/(s-2)

->when she was swimming with the current, equation is,

15= (s+2) t

t= 15/(s+2)

equating eq(1) and (2)

5/(s-2) = 15/(s+2)

5s + 10 = 15s - 30

40= 10s

s= 40/10

s=4

Therefore, if there were no current, her speed is 4km/hr

What is the restoring force of a spring with a spring constant of 4a and a stretched displacement of 3b? A. –7 ab B. `-7 a/b ` C
algol13

Answer:

C. -12 ab

Explanation:

The restoring force on a spring is given by Hooke's law:

F=-kx

where

k is the spring constant

x is the stretched (or compressed) displacement of the spring

In this problem we have:

k = 4a

x = 3b

Substituting into the equation, we find:

F=-(4a)(3b) = -12 ab

And the negative sign means that the direction of the force (negative) is opposite to the direction of the displacement (positive).

Which law states that absolute zero cannot be reached?
padilas [110]
The third law of thermodynamics,the principle of temperature.

This law states that the entropy at 0 is always equel to 0.
This means that it is impossible to cool down a perfect 0 or absolute 0(-273.15 C)

If 0.035pC of charge is transferred via the movement of Al3+ ions, how's many of these must be transferred in total? Please add
mr Goodwill [35]

Each Al^+^3 ion contains three extra protons. Hence, the extra charge on each  Al^+^3 = 3 \times 1.6 \times 10^-^1^9 C

Total charge = 0.035 pC

Total charge (Q) = 0.035 \times 10^-^1^2 C

Let the number of Al^+^3 ions be n.

According to question:

n \times 3 \times 1.6 \times 10^-^1^9 =0.035 \times 10^-^1^2

n = \frac{0.035 \times 10^-^1^2}{3 \times 1.6 \times 10^-^1^9}

n = 7.29167 \times 10^4

n = 72917

Hence, the total number of ions needed to be transferred is 72917

A projectile falls beneath the straight-line path it would follow if there were no gravity. How many meters does it fall below t
maria [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Suppose v is the initial velocity and \theta is the angle of inclination

distance traveled in vertical direction in t=1 s

When gravity is present

y=vt+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where y=vertical\ distance

a=acceleration

t=time

v=initial\ velocity

here initial velocity is v\sin \theta [/tex] so

y=v\sin \theta \times 1-\frac{1}{2}gt^2

y=v\sin \theta -0.5g

In absence of gravity

y_2=v\sin \theta \times t

y_2=v\sin \theta \times 1

\Delta y=y_2-y=v\sin \theta -v\sin \theta +0.5 g=4.9\ m
