<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.

to start an avalanche on a mountain slope, an artillery shell is fired with an initial velocity of 290 m/s at 53.0° above the ho
kap26 [50]
So this is easy to calculate when you split the velocity into x and y components. The x component is going to equal cos(53) * 290 and the y component is going to equal sin(53)*290.

The x location therefore is 290*cos(53)*35 = 6108.4m

The y location needs to factor in the downwards acceleration of gravity too, which is 9.81m/s^2. We need the equation dist. = V initial*time + 0.5*acceleration*time^2.

This gives us d=290*sin(53)*35 + (0.5*-9.81*35^2)=2097.5m

So your (x,y) coordinates equals (6108.4, 2097.5)

The energy flow per unit time per unit area (S) of an electromagnetic wave has an average value of 310 mW/m2. The maximum value
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

5.096*10^-8

Explanation:

Given that

The average value of the electromagnetic wave is 310 mW/m²

To find the maximum value of the magnetic field the wave is closest to, we say

Emax = √Erms

Emax = √[(2 * 0.310 * 3*10^8 * 4π*10^-7)]

Emax = √233.7648

Emax = 15.289

Now, with our value of maximum electromagnetic wave gotten, we divide it by speed of light to get our final answer

15.289 / (3*10^8) = 5.096*10^-8 T

Suffice to say, The maximum value of the magnetic field in the wave is closest to 5.096*10^-8
