Two boats start together and race across a 48-km-wide lake and back. boat a goes across at 48 km/h and returns at 48 km/h. boat

b goes across at 24 km/h, and its crew, realizing how far behind it is getting, returns at 72 km/h. turnaround times are negligible, and the boat that completes the round trip first wins. (a) which boat wins? (or is it a tie?)

Answer:

Time required by boat 1 for the round trip is less than that of boat 2.

Hence, boat 1 wins.

Explanation:

Case 1: Boat 1

Speed of boat = \frac{distance of river}{time}

time = \frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}

While going to another end

time = \frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}

time = \frac{48}{48}

time = 1 hour

While going back,

time = \frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}

time = \frac{48}{48}

time = 1 hour

Total time taken by boat 1 is,

Total time by boat 1 = 1 hour + 1 hour = 2 hour

Total time by boat 1 = 2 hour

Total time taken by boat 1 for the round trip is 2 hour.

Case 2: Boat 2

Speed of boat = \frac{distance of river}{time}

time = \frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}

While going to another end

time = \frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}

time = \frac{48}{24}

time = 2 hour

While going back,

time = \frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}

time = \frac{48}{72}

time = 0.66 hour

Total time taken by boat 2 is,

Total time by boat 1 = 2 hour + 0.66 hour

Total time by boat 1 = 2.66 hour

Total time taken by boat 2 for the round trip is 2.66 hour.

Time required by boat 1 for the round trip is less than that of boat 2.

Hence, boat 1 wins.

If six moles of hydrogen chloride (HCl) react with plenty of aluminum, how many moles of aluminum chloride (AlCl3) will the reac
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Two moles of aluminum chloride (AlCl_3) are produced when six miles of hydrogen Chloride (HCl) react with plenty of aluminum

Explanation:

6 Moles of HCl will only react with 2 moles of Al irrespective of the number of moles of each compound present. The reaction wiil take place in this ratio only. The products produced will be 2 moles of AlCl_3 and 3 moles of H_2 this ratio will also be constant.

So, six moles of hydrogen chloride (HCl) will react with plenty of aluminum to produce many 2 moles of aluminum chloride (AlCl_3).

CClassify each characteristic of sound waves.
Alex787 [66]

Explanation : Explain each characteristic of sound waves.

Intensity : the intensity of the sound wave is understand as the power carry by sound wave per unit area in the direction perpendicular to that area.

Loudness :  loudness is the quality of the loud and soft of the sound wave.

Frequency : Human normal hear sound frequency between 20 Hz to kHz.

Pitch : Pitch is the quality of low and high of sound wave . pitch relates to the frequency of the slowest vibration in the sound wave for simple sound.

A 210 kg meteoroid is heading toward the earth accelerates by 2.4 × 105 m/s2.
lidiya [134]
According to Newton's second law of motion, Force is the product of mass and acceleration of the object.
So, F = m * a

Here, m = 210 Kg
a = 2.4 * 10⁵ m/s²

Substitute their values, 
F = 210 * 2.4 * 10⁵ N
F = 504 * 10⁵ N
F = 5.04 * 10⁷ N

In short, Your Answer would be Option B

Hope this helps!

Uranium has two naturally occurring isotopes. 238u has a natural abundance of 99.3% and 235u has an abundance of 0.7%. it is the
dmitriy555 [2]

The ration of the rms speed of 235uf6 to that of 238uf6 is 1.004.

The molecular mass of 235uf6 is 349, while that of 238uf6 is 352.

The rms speed is calculated as

v=√(3RT/m)

Thus the ratio rms speed of 235uf6 to 238uf6 is calculated as

r=√(352/349)=1.004

A block of metal is 3 cm on each side. It has a mass of 283.5 grams. What is the density of the metal.
Luden [163]
Density =  \frac{Mass}{Volume}
\\\rho=\frac{m}{V}
\\\\\rho=\frac{283.5}{3^3}
\\\\\rho=\frac{283.5}{27}
\\\\\rho = 10.5  g/cm^3
