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

What do electric forces between charges depend on?
bonufazy [111]

Electrostatic forces between charges depend on the product of
the sizes of the charges, and the distance between them.

We should also mention the item about whether the charges are
both the same sign or opposite signs.  That determines whether
the forces will pull them together or push them apart, which is a
pretty significant item.

A golf ball is struck at 75 m/s at an angle of 60 degrees. What is the
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

v_x=37.50

Explanation:

The rectangular components of a vector \vec v having a magnitude v and angle θ are:

v_x=v\cos\theta

v_y=v\sin\theta

The golf ball has an initial speed of 75 m/s at an angle of 60 degrees.

The variables of the equations have the values:

v = 75 m/s

θ = 60°

Substituting into the formula:

v_x=75\cos 60^\circ

v_x=75\cdot 0.5

v_x=37.5~m/s

Without specifying units and with precision to the hundredths place:

\mathbf{v_x=37.50}

Is the force of gravity stronger on a piece of paper when it is crumpled? is the force of gravity stronger on a piece of iron th
Kipish [7]

No, gravity pulls every object with the same force irrespective of its shape, size place etc.

Therefore the force of gravity on the iron and wooden piece of same mass is same. Also the force of gravity is same on the crumpled piece of paper as that of plain paper.

Force of gravity is always same.

1. Block A with a mass of 1 kg and block B with a mass of 2 kg lie on a smooth table. You wish to apply a horizontal force to ea
goblinko [34]

The gravitational force on block B is twice as much as the gravitational force on block A.

<h3>What is Force?</h3>

Force is the product of mass and acceleration. If the mass of A is 1Kg and the mass of B is 2Kg, In order to give the masses the same horizontal acceleration, the magnitude of the force on block B must be twice as much as the force on block A.

Given that the mass of A is 1Kg and the mass of B is 2Kg, the gravitational force on block B is twice as much as the gravitational force on block A.

If I hold block A with a mass of 1 kg in one hand and block B with a mass of 2 kg in the other  and release both from the same height above the ground at the same time, the two blocks hit the ground at the same time, because they both accelerate at the same rate while falling. The greater gravitational force on block B is compensated by its greater mass, giving it the same acceleration.
