<h2>Speed of motorboat is 36 km/hr and speed of current is 4 km/hr.</h2>

Explanation:

Let speed of motor boat be m and speed of current be c.

A motorboat traveling with a current can go 160 km in 4 hours.

   Distance = 160 km

   Time = 4 hours

    Speed = m + c

   We have

            Distance = Speed x Time

            160 = (m+c) x 4

            m + c = 40     --------------------- eqn 1

Against the current it takes 5 hours to go the same distance.

   Distance = 160 km

   Time = 5 hours

    Speed = m - c

   We have

            Distance = Speed x Time

            160 = (m-c) x 5

            m - c = 32     --------------------- eqn 2

eqn 1 + eqn 2

           2m = 40 + 32

             m = 36 km/hr

Substituting in eqn 1

               36 + c = 40

                      c = 4 km/hr

Speed of motorboat is 36 km/hr and speed of current is 4 km/hr.

The velocity of the transverse waves produced by an earthquake is 8.9 km/s, and that of the longitudinal waves is 5.1 km/s. A se
Brrunno [24]

Answer: The distance is 723.4km

Explanation:

The velocity of the transverse waves is 8.9km/s

The velocity of the longitudinal wave is 5.1 km/s

The transverse one reaches 68 seconds before the longitudinal.

if the distance is X, we know that:

X/(9.8km/s) = T1

X/(5.1km/s) = T2

T2 = T1 + 68s

Where T1 and T2 are the time that each wave needs to reach the sesmograph.

We replace the third equation into the second and get:

X/(9.8km/s) = T1

X/(5.1km/s) = T1 + 68s

Now, we can replace T1 from the first equation into the second one:

X/(5.1km/s) = X/(9.8km/s) + 68s

Now we can solve it for X and find the distance.

X/(5.1km/s) - X/(9.8km/s) = 68s

X(1/(5.1km/s) - 1/(9.8km/s)) = X*0.094s/km= 68s

X = 68s/0.094s/km = 723.4 km

Identify trends in physical properties based on intermolecular forces
umka21 [38]

The Boiling point,melting point, surface tension and viscousity will increase while the Vapor pressure will decrease.

<h3 /><h3>What are intermolecular forces?</h3>

Intermolecular forces are the forces that bind two molecules together. Physical properties are affected by the strength of intermolecular forces

An increase in the strength of intermolecular forces increases will lead to an increase in force applied to break the barriers posed by the strength of the molecules.

This increased intermolecular strength will cause a rise in boiling point,melting point, viscousity and surface tension.

The Vapor pressure reduces with increasing intermolecular strength. Vapor pressure is the amount of vapor that is equilibrium with its own liquid or solid. Hence,with increasing intermolecular strength the amount of vapor that is in equilibrium with its own liquid will reduce.
