<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.

_____ refers to the process by which people detect physical energy in the environment and encode that energy as neural signals.
german

Answer:

Sensation refers to the process by which people detect physical energy in the environment and encode that energy as neural signals.

Explanation:

Sensation helps us to detect changes in our physical environment.

Sensation occurs in three steps,

  • Sensory receptors, these detect stimuli.
  • Sensory stimuli are converted into electrical impulses to be decoded by the brain.
  • Finally, electrical impulses move along neural pathways to specific parts of the brain wherein the impulses are decoded into useful information.

Therefore, Sensation refers to the process by which people detect physical energy in the environment and encode that energy as neural signals.

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

The definition is defined in the clarification section down, and according to the particular circumstance.

Explanation:

  • The trouble with perception is that even though we generally perceive it if delusions and hallucinations become conceivable, therefore perception is unlikely.
  • The perception seems to be our issue: adapting to this culture requires giving up some vocabulary and ideas that are in the path of only possessing or taking up valuable space.
