A motorboat embarks on a trip, heading downstream in a river in which the current flows at a rate of 1.5m/s. After 30.0 minutes, the boat has traveled a distance of 24.3 km downstream. How long will it take the boat to travel upstream to its original point of embarkation

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]t=2413s[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Velocity [tex]v=1.5m/s[/tex]

Time [tex]t=30min=>30*60=>1800[/tex]

Distance [tex]d=24.3km[/tex]

Generally the Newton's equation for Speed going down the stream is mathematically given by

 [tex]v + u = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]

 [tex]1.5+v=frac{24300}{1800}[/tex]

 [tex]v=12m/s[/tex]

Therefore

 [tex]v + u = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]

 [tex]t=\frac{24300}{12-1.5}[/tex]

 [tex]t=2413s[/tex]
