<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 car approaches the truck at a speed of 80-75=5km/h.  To travel the 130m, it takes
\frac{0.130km}{5 \frac{km}{h} } =0.026h=93.6s

Ans. Littoral zone.

Littoral zone can be defined as the area of a rive, sea, or lake, which lies close to the shore. It is characterized by abundant sunlight, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, and high water motion. These characteristics make it suitable for   marine life. Hence, littoral zone is enriched with various plants and animal species, and coral reefs.

Blake and Sandra are having a rummage sale. Blake drags 3 boxes a distance of 10 meters each. He exerts a force of 20 newtons on
vampirchik [111]
For Blake:

3 boxes at a distance of 10 meters each, each box weighs 20 N

Work done by Blake = 3 * 10m * 20N
                                 = 600 J
Power = 600 J/ 2 min
           = 300 J/min

For Sandra:

4 boxes, 15 N each at a distance of 12 meters each. 

Work done by Sandra = 4 * 15 N *12m
                                    =  720 J
Power = 720 J/ 4 min
           = 180 J/min

Blake does less work than Sandra. 
Blake's power is more than Sandra's.
