Answer:

7 mph

Explanation:

Let the speed of river is c mph.

The effective downstream speed = 14 + c

The effective upstream speed = 14 - c

Total time = 4 hrs

Total distance = 42 miles

Time for upstream + time for downstream = 4 hrs

21 / (14 + c) + 21 / (14 - c) = 4

21 (14 - c + 14 + c) = 4 (196 - c^2)

21 x 28 = 4 (196 - c^2)

c^2 = 196 -147 = 49

c = 7 mph

The critical angle for total internal reflection occurs when:___________.
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

b) the refracted ray has an angle of 90 degrees

Explanation:

The angle of incidence is measured with respect to the normal separation of the media. The critical angle for total internal reflection occurs is:

\theta=arcsin(\frac{n_2}{n_1})

Here n_2 and n_1 are the refractive index of the mediums. This equation is an application of Snell's law, for the case where  the refracted ray has an angle of 90^\circ.

An object has a kinetic energy of 275 j and a momentum of magnitude 25.0 kg · m/s. find the (a) speed and (b) mass of the object
Sergeu [11.5K]
Kinetic energy = momentum^2 / 2 x mass
Mass = (momentum^2/ Kinetic energy) / 2

Mass =  (25^2 / 275) / 2
Mass = 1.136 kg.

momentum = mass x velocity

velocity = mass / momentum
velocity = 1.136 / 25
velocity = 0.04544 m/s
