Answer: The correct answer is A.

Explanation: In a solution, the substance which is in larger proportion is called as a solvent and the substance which is in smaller proportion is called as a solute.

When we mix a powdered Gatorade in the water, the Gatorade is present smaller proportion and hence will be considered as a solute in a solution and water is present in larger proportion and will be considered as solvent in a solution.

Hence, the correct option is A.

Running at maximum speed, it takes a boat times as long to go 10 miles upstream as it does to go 10 miles downstream. If the cur
Greeley [361]

Note: <em>The question states the time to go upstream is a number of times (not explicitly written) the time to go downstream. We'll assume a general number N</em>

Answer:

\displaystyle v_b=\frac{N+1}{N-1}(4\ mph)

Explanation:

<u>Relative Speed</u>

If a boat is going upstream against the water current, the true speed of motion is v_b-v_w, being v_b the speed of the boat and v_w the speed of the water. If the boat is going downstream, the true speed becomes v_b+v_w.

The question states the time to go upstream is a number of times N (not explicitly written) the time to go downstream. The speed of an object is computed as

\displaystyle v=\frac{x}{t}

Where x is the distance traveled and t the time taken for that. The time can be computed by

\displaystyle t=\frac{x}{v}

If t_u is the time for the upstream travel and t_d is the time for the downstream travel, then

t_u=Nt_d

Siince the same distance x= 10 miles is traveled in both cases:

\displaystyle \frac{10}{v_b-v_w}=N\frac{10}{v_b+v_w}

Simplifying and rearrangling

v_b+v_w=N(v_b-v_w)

Operating

v_b+v_w=Nv_b-Nv_w

Solving for v_b

\displaystyle v_b=\frac{N+1}{N-1}v_w

If\ N=2,\ v_w=4\ mph

\displaystyle v_b=\frac{3}{1}(4)=12\ mph

If N=3

\displaystyle v_b=\frac{4}{2}v_w=2(4)=8\ mph

We can use the required value of N to compute the speed of the boat as explained

masya89 [10]

According to all the given requirements 

stratosphere x starts at an altitude of 16 km

that means  

<span>16≤x

</span> and,as given ,stratosphere ends at an altitude of 30 km:
which means
<span>x≤30</span> combining both of them we get

<span>16≤x≤30</span> So the range of the stratosphere is from 16 to 30 km.

What is the best description of a mechanical wave?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium. While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the medium of transmission—the material—is limited. Therefore, the oscillating material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position.

JulsSmile [24]
I am assuming you know the relation obtained between slit width, distance of screen from slits, distance of interference pattern obtained on the screen from the center and the wavelength of monochromatic light used in Young's Double Slit experiment.
λ =\frac{y*d}{D} =  \frac{3.55*10^{-3}*1.25*10^{-4}  }{2.25} = 1.97*10^{-7} m
λ ~ 1.97 ×10⁻⁷m
