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.

A 0.10 kg ball of dough is thrown straight up into the air with an initial speed of 15 m/s.
Reptile [31]
<span>Mass of the ball is m = 0.10kg Initial speed of the Ball v = 15m/s a. When the ball is at maximum height the velocity is 0 Momentum of ball = mass x velocity Momentum = 0.10kg x 0 = 0 b. Getting the maximum height, Using the conservation of energy equation KEinitial = mgh 1/2mVin^2 = mgh => h = v^2/2g h = 15^2/2x9.8 = 11.48m => Half Height h = 5.96m Applying the conservation of energy equation at halfway V^2 = 2gh V = square root of (2x9.8x5.96) => V = square root of (116.816) So the velocity at the half way V = 10.81 m/s Momentum M = m x V => M = 0.10 x 10.81 => M = 1.081kg-m/s</span>

What are non-clastic?
igor_vitrenko [27]
Non clastic sedimentary rocks from chemical reactions, chiefly in the ocean. Nonclastic and clastic sedimentary rocks are the only members of the rock family that contain fossils as well as indicators of the climate that was present when the rock was formed.

14. A rocket is shot up into the air and then comes back down and hits the ground 9.2 second later.
sineoko [7]

Answer:

105.8 m

46 m/s

Explanation:

From the time the rocket is launched to the time it reaches its maximum height:

v = 0 m/s

a = -10 m/s²

t = 9.2 s / 2 = 4.6 s

Find: Δy and v₀

Δy = vt − ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) (4.6 s) − ½ (-10 m/s²) (4.6 s)²

Δy = 105.8 m

v = at + v₀

0 m/s = (-10 m/s²) (4.6 s) + v₀

v₀ = 46 m/s
