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

Evidence for continental drift

Wegener knew that fossil plants and animals such as mesosaurs, a freshwater reptile found only South America and Africa during the Permian period, could be found on many continents. He also matched up rocks on either side of the Atlantic Ocean like puzzle pieces.

Which is not a way to accelerate an object?
GREYUIT [131]
<span>Slowing an object down is not a means of accelerating it. It actually decelerates the motion of an object. Speeding it up, changing its direction and applying balanced forces accelerate an object. In order for an object to accelerate, a force must be applied. It follows Newton’s second law of motion where it states that a body at rest remains at rest unless a force is acted upon it. When you move an object, you are exerting a force onto it. By exerting a force on the object, you are actually displacing it from its initial position. You cannot apply force to the object without altering its position. Keep in mind that when you exert work, you are exerting energy too. </span>
