Answer:
Explanation:
When I hear "transformation of energy from one form to another", I think of the system exchanging energy with its surroundings. A transformation of energy simply means the system contains a different type of energy than it previously did. One example I can give is a ball. A ball at the top of a hill has a maximum potential energy. If given the chance to roll, it will go to a minimum state of potential. This will convert all of the potential energy into pure kinetic energy, once it reaches the bottom of the hill of course.
The magnitude of a vector is the square root of its components squared. When you square a negative number, you will always get a positive number. Its like speed of your car. It will always be positive (or 0) whether you are moving forward or you are in reverse gear or stationary.
Let x mph be the speed of the ship in still water.
Against the current, the net speed is, (x-1.9) mph.
Time, t= distance, d/ Speed, v => 9= 113.4/(x-1.9) => 9(x-1.9) = 113.4 => x-1.9 = 113.4/9 => x = 12.6+1.9 = 14.5 mph
Moving with the current, the net speed of the ship = 14.5+1.9 =16.4 mph
Time take, t = d/v = 113.4/16.4 = 6.915 hours
