Answer:

Rate of boat in still water = 5mile/hour

Rate of the current= 1 mile/hr

Explanation:

The boat is moving upstream at the rate= 12miles/3hours= 4mph

The boat is moving downstream at the rate = 12miles/2hours = 6mph

Let y be the speed of boat

And C the current of water

Y + C = 6 ...eq1

Y - C = 4 ...eq2

Adding eq1 and eq2

2Y = 10

Y= 10/2 = 5

Y= 5mph

Put Y = 5 in eq2

5 + C = 6

C = 6 - 5

C= 1 mph

irakobra [83]

Answer:

1,050 Joules

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> work done in moving the box 30 meters

work done = force X distance

                  = 25N X 30 = 750 Joules

<u>Step 2: </u>calculate total internal energy

Total internal energy = work done + kinetic energy

                                   = 750 Joules + 300 Joules

                                   = 1,050 Joules = 1.05 KJ

Which of the following statements are true? (There may be more than one correct choice.)
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

option (A)

Explanation:

According to the Archimede's principle, when a body s immersed partly or wholly in a liquid, it experiences an upward force which is called buoyant force. The buoyant force is equal to the loss in the weight of body.

The weight of liquid displaces by the body is equal to the loss in weight of body.

Thus, option (a) is true.

notsponge [240]

Answer:

4 x 10⁻⁴ J

Explanation:

C = 5000 pF, V = 400 V

Energy = CV²/2 = 5000 x 10⁻¹² x 400²/2 = 4 x 10⁻⁴ J
