In this item, we let x be the rate of the boat in still water and y be the rate of the current.
Upstream. When the boat is going upstream, the speed in still water is deducted by the speed of the current because the boat goes against the water. The distance covered is calculated by multiplying the number of hours and the speed.
(x - y)(3) = 144
Downstream. The speed of the boat going downstream is equal to x + y because the boat goes with the current.
(x + y)(2) = 144
The system of linear equations we can use to solve for x is,
3x - 3y = 144
2x + 2y = 144
We use either elimination or substitution.
We solve for the y of the first equation in terms of x,
y = -(144 - 3x)/3
Substitute this to the second equation,
2x + 2(-1)(144 - 3x)/3 = 144
The value of x from the equation is 60
<em>ANSWER: 60 km/h</em>
Answer:
D
Explanation:
The negative feedback is responsible for maintaining equilibrium (stability) in a system as it lessens effects, which is contrary to positive feedback which increases reaction and moves a system further away from equilibrium (stability), It does so by amplifying the effects of a product or event and occurs when something needs to happen quickly. e.g
- Insulin lowers down blood sugar levels, so when the body detects that it has too much sugar, the pancreas is prompted to release insulin and only stops when balance is achieved; hence, negative feedback.
- When there is a tear on the skin, a chemical is released. This chemical causes platelets in the blood to activate, hence they release a chemical which signals more platelets to activate, until the wound is clotted, positive feedback.
1. The correct answer among the choices provided is the third option. Measuring the temperature increase of water from doing work by stirring it is an experiment generally regarded as being first carried out by James Joule.
2. Joule's experiment directly shows that heat is a form of energy. He wanted to make a different way of measuring energy.
Answer:
True The net force must be zero for the acceleration to be zero
Explanation:
In order to analyze the statements of this problem we propose your solution.
First let's look at Newton's first, which stable that every object is at rest or with constant speed unless something takes it out of this state (acceleration)
Now let's look at the second postulate, which says that force is related to the product of the mass of a body and its acceleration.
As a result of these two laws, for a body is a constant velocity the summation force on it must be zero.
Now we can analyze the statements given.
True The net force must be zero for the acceleration to be zero
False. If the force is different from zero, there is acceleration that changes the speeds
False. There may be forces, but the sum of them must be zero
False. If a force acts, the acceleration is different from zero and the speed changes
