What factors could slow down a reaction time?

To keep it basic start with temprature and inhibitors such as drugs that slow enzymes

surface area, temperature, concentration, and the presence of catalysts and inhibitors

Explanation:To slow down a reaction, you need to do the opposite. Factors that can affect rates of reactions include surface area, temperature, concentration, and the presence of catalysts and inhibitors. Temperature - Changing the temperature of a chemical reaction also affects the reaction rate.

f=ma newton's second law 7x8=56n

when jerome paddle in flowing river towards east the net speed of jerome will increase

so the net speed of jerome will be given as

now the speed of paul will be same as it is given as he is running on the ground

so

so here we can say since the speed of jerome is more so he will win the race

now as we know the distance so the time difference is given as

so jerome will reach first and the time difference will be 203.55 s or 3.4 min
