Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.
now, if the boat has a speed of say "b", and the current has a speed of say "c", when the boat is going upstream, is not really going "b" fast, is going " b - c " fast, because the current is eroding speed from it, going upwards.
And when the boat is going downstream, is not going "b" fast either, because the current is now adding to speed to it, so is really going " b + c " fast.
The time it took one way, is the same time it took back, 4 hours each way.
thus
what's the speed of the boat? well, 5 + c = b.
Answer:
-120 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
A car is traveling at -40 miles per hour. What will their position be after 3 hours?
-40 mph times 3 hours is -120 miles
Answer:
There will be 22.5 grams left after 32 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
A half-life is how long it takes for half of the amount to go away. In this case, we see that we have two half-life periods worth, which you can determine by dividing the total time by the half-life time.
32hrs/8hrs = 4 half lives.
Now we can raise 1/2 to the power of how many half lives we have (2). Then we multiply that by the amount in the sample.
(1/2)^4 * 360
1/16 * 360
22.5 grams
And this is an exponential function.
There are 2.54 cm in 1 inch. Since we are estimating, we can round the average growth per year to .5 cm which would give you roughly 5 years per inch of diameter (2.5 / .5 = 5). Since we have a tree with a 4 inch diameter, we can estimate the age of the tree is...
4 inches x 5 years/inch = 20 years old.
