The speed of the current in a river is 6 mph. A ferry operator who works that part of the river is looking to buy a new boat for

his business. Every day, his route takes him 22.5 miles against the current and back to his dock, and he needs to make this trip in a total of 9 hours. He has a boat in mind, but he can only test it on a lake where there is no current. How fast must the boat go on the lake in order for it to serve the ferry operator’s needs?

The first step is to determine the rate using the given values. Distance formula 9(x-6)=45 is used where the rate is x-6. Value of x is equivalent to 11. The average speed that covers 45 miles in 9 hours is 5 miles per hour having no current.

What distance is covered by an airplane traveling at a velocity of 660 miles per hour in 3.5 hours?
N76 [4]

As per the question, the velocity of the airplane [v] = 660 miles per hour.

The total time taken by airplane [t] = 3.5 hours.

We are asked to determine the total distance travelled by the airplane during that period.

The distance covered [ S] by a body is the product of velocity with the time.

Mathematically distance covered = velocity × total time

                                                      S = v × t

                                                        = 660 miles/hour ×3.5 hours

                                                        = 2310 miles.

Hence, the total distance travelled by the airplane in 3.5 hour is 2310 miles.

How will you join three resistances, each of 2 ohm so that the effective resistance is 3 ohm?
svet-max [94.6K]
First I will parallel two of the resistors, creating a net 1 ohm. Then I will series that with the remaining 2-ohm resistor, resulting in 3 ohms.
