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.

Does the densoty of an object change if you add more of it because i did an expirement that proved that the density does change
Marysya12 [62]
No the density does not change. Density is a ratio D=m/v no matter how much of a substance you have its mass will be proportional.
When doing density labs sometimes you might get different answers due to errors that are unavoidable.

Can I get help and an explanation on C?

Answer:

1.67 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

Initial momentum = final momentum

(30 kg) (10 m/s) + (35 kg) (-10 m/s) = (30 kg) v + (35 kg) (0 m/s)

300 - 350 = 30v

v = -5/3 m/s

Linus will move at 1.67 m/s in the direction opposite that he started.
