The answer is, "the speed of the current is 5 miles per hour."

To calculate the speed of the current,
let's assume speed of current =  xmph. Time taken to travel from one pier to another with the current = 100/(20+x)h


But the time taken to travel from one pier to another with the current, which is given is = 4 hours. So,  4=100/(20+x) 80+4x = 100

4x = 20

x = 5 Thus, the speed of the current is 5 miles per hour.

When nuclear fission occurs some mass is lost where does that mass go
horrorfan [7]
The loss of matter is called the mass defect. The missing matter is converted into energy. You can actually calculate the amount of energy produced during a nuclear reaction with  fairly simple equation developed by Albert Einstein; E = mc^2. In this equation, E is the amount of energy produced, m is the missing mass, or the mass defect, and c is the speed of light, which is a rather large number. The speed of light is squared, making that part of the equation a very large number that, even when multiplied by a small amount of mass, yields a large amount of energy.

Which is not an example of a scalar?
Crank

Answer:

b) 2ft/s

Explanation:

A scalar has only magintude, not direction

6.2m, 3kg, and -100 o C are all scalars because they only have magnitude.

2ft/s is not a scalar because it has a direction.
