30 + 6 = 36
36/12 = 3
So, it would take it 3 hours to go 12 kms downstream.
Note that we added 30 and 6 because it was going downstream. If it was going upstream, then we would have had to subtract.
Answer:
Friction
Explanation:
Friction is a force that slows down moving objects. If you roll a ball across a shaggy rug, you can see that there are lumps and bumps in the rug that make the ball slow down. The rubbing, or friction, between the ball and the rug is what makes the ball stop rolling. External Force is required.
Answer:
There is an arrow up for air resistance and an arrow down for gravity. The arrow up is longer than the arrow down.
Explanation:
The text of the problem says that the skydiver is slowing down: this means that he has an acceleration, which is directed opposite to the motion of the skydiver. Since the motion is downward, the acceleration must be upward.
There are two forces acting on the skydiver: the gravity (downward) and the air resistance (upward). According to Newton's second law:
F=ma
the acceleration has the same direction of the net force, so the net force must also be upward: therefore, the air resistance must be greater than the gravity, so the arrow up for air resistance is longer than the arrow down for gravity.
Answer:
gravitational force and outward pressure
Explanation:
The stars are very massive stellar objects, so they have a strong gravitational force, which drives the star to contract itself, but also in stars there are nuclear reactions such as fusion of hydrogen and other elements, that releases energy and creates a pressure from the center to the star exterior, an outward pressure that goes against the gravitational force. So when a star is stable these two forces exist in equilibrium or in balance, in which the star does not collapse by gravity or disintegrate by its outward pressure.
