<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.

1. A 4-N force is used to move an object 2 m in 10 s. Which of the following is the power generated while moving the object?
guajiro [1.7K]

Power is the work done per unit time. Therefore,

\begin{gathered} p=\frac{w}{t} \\ \text{where} \\ w=\text{work done} \\ t=\text{time} \end{gathered}

Therefore,

\begin{gathered} \text{work done=fd} \\ f=force=4N \\ d=\text{displacement}=2m \\ t=2\sec s \\ p=\frac{fd}{t}=\frac{4\times2}{10}=\frac{8}{10}=0.8watts \end{gathered}

3. How is using a model to study cells helpful?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Yes, it is very helpful.

Explanation:

It's helpful since in a cell, plant or animal, there are a lot of different things. It's hard to memorize everything and know what they look like. Using a model can help you memorize everything better and even understand it better. If someone asked me where or what something was in a cell I think I would be able to recognize it better.

I hope this helps!

Which is an inertial reference frame (or at least a very good approximation of one)? Which is an inertial reference frame (or at
ioda

Answer:

A jet plane flying straight and at level at constant speed

Explanation:

     The<em> inertial frame </em>of reference is a frame of reference in which all <em>Newton law  is valid</em> ie Newton second law of motion and therefore newton first law of motion holds good. <em>The frame of reference does not accelerate.</em>

All the object that is in the frame of reference are at rest or moving with constant rectilinear motion with constant velocity unless acted upon by any force.
