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.

Sort the sentences based on whether they describe radio waves, visible light waves, or both.
valentina_108 [34]

The electromagnetic spectrum includes a continuous spectrum of wavelengths that include:

Radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, visible, ultraviolet, X-rays, gamma rays

The wavelength decreases from radio waves to gamma rays, whereas the energy increases along the same direction.

In the given example, radio waves have a lower energy and higher wavelength than visible light. The latter can be perceived by the human eye, whereas radio waves are not visible to the human eye.

1) They have colors = visible light

2) They can travel in a vacuum  = both

3) They have energy = both

4) They’re used to learn about  dust and gas clouds = radio waves

5) They’re used to find the  temperature of stars  = visible light

6)They’re invisible = radio waves

You want to move a 4- kg bookcase to a different place in the living room. If u push with a force of 65 n and the bookcase accel
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

1.65

Explanation:

The equation of the forces along the horizontal direction is:

F-F_f = ma (1)

where

F = 65 N is the force applied with the push

F_f is the frictional force

m = 4 kg is the mass

a=0.12 m/s^2 is the acceleration

The force of friction can be written as F_f = \mu R (2), where

\mu is the coefficient of kinetic friction

R is the normal force exerted by the floor

The equation of forces along the vertical direction is

R-mg=0 (3)

since the bookcase is in equilibrium. Substituting (2) and (3) into (1), we find

F-\mu mg = ma

And solving for \mu,

\mu = \frac{F-ma}{mg}=\frac{65-(4)(0.12)}{4(9.8)}=1.65

Reptile [31]

Answer: 56994 miles

Explanation:

Given : Toby's Trucking Company determined that on an annual basis, the distance traveled per truck is normally distributed with

\mu=50,000\text{ miles}

Standard deviation : \sigma=12,000\text{ miles}

Let a be the distance traveled by at least 72% of the trucks.

Let X be the random variable that represents the distance traveled by a truck

Then P(x\geq a)=0.72

The critical value corresponds to p-value 0.72 :z=0.5828415

Also, z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

\Rightarrow\ 0.5828415=\dfrac{a-50000}{12000}\\\\\Rightarrow\ a=12000(0.5828415)+50000=56994.098\approx56994

Hence, 56994 miles will be traveled by at least (equal to and more than) 72% of the trucks .
