<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 gravitational force will be one quarter.
The gravitational force between two objects is given by the formula
F=GMm/r^2
here, r is the distance between the objects.
Thus the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects, Therefore if the distance between two objects is doubled the force will be one quarter.
