John has a boat that will travel at the rate of 15 kph in still water. he can go upstream for 35 km in the same time it takes to

go 140 km downstream. how fast is his boat traveling when he goes downstream? 22 kph 24 kph 26 kph

Let F = the downstream speed of the water. 

<span>Then the boat's upstream speed is: 15 - F </span>
<span>The boat's downstream speed is: 15 + F </span>


<span>Assume both the journeys mentioned take T hours, then using "speed x time = distance" we get: </span>

<span>Downstream journey: (15 + F)T = 140 </span>
<span>Upstream journey: (15 - F)T = 35 </span>


<span>Add the two formulae together: </span>

<span>(15 + F)T + (15 - F)T = 140 + 35 </span>

<span>15T + FT + 15T - FT = 175 </span>

<span>30T = 175 </span>

<span>T = 35/6 </span>


<span>Use one of the equations to find F: </span>

<span>(15 + F)T = 140 </span>

<span>15 + F = 140/T </span>
<span>F = 140/T - 15 </span>
<span>F = 140/(35/6) - 15 </span>
<span>F = 24 - 15 </span>
<span>F = 9 </span>

<span>i.e. the downstream speed of the water is 9 kph </span>

<span>Therefore, the boat's speed downstream is 15 + F = 15 + 9 = 24 kph.
the answer is:                       *24kph*</span>

Three Carnot engines operate between the following temperature limits.
Kipish [7]

Answer:c>a>b

Explanation:

Given

All the engine extracts same amount of heat(Q) from High-temperature reservoir

For a) 400 and 500 K

\eta _{engine}=1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}

\eta _{engine}=\frac{work\ supplied}{heat\ supplied}

1-\frac{400}{500}=\frac{W_a}{Q}

W_a=\frac{Q}{5}

For b)500 K and 600K

1-\frac{500}{600}=\frac{W_b}{Q}

W-b=\frac{Q}{6}

For c) 400 K and 600 K

1-\frac{400}{600}=\frac{W_c}{Q}

W_c=\frac{2Q}{3}

So c will give the highest amount of work

c>a>b

If the frequency of the light shining on the metal is increased, will the number of electrons being emitted increase?
Luden [163]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

In the photoelectric effect,

The number of the electrons which are being emitted is directly proportional to the intensity of the light and is independent on the frequency of the incident radiation of the light which has the frequency greater than the threshold frequency.

Thus, on increasing the frequency of the light which is being shinned on the metal , there is no change in the electrons which are being emitted.
