Two boats start together and race across a 62-km-wide lake and back. Boat A goes across at 62 km/h and returns at 62 km/h. Boat

B goes across at 31 km/h, and its crew, realizing how far behind it is getting, returns at 93 km/h. Turnaround times are negligible, and the boat that completes the round trip first wins. (a) Which boat wins

Answer:

boat A

Explanation:

Distance to one point of the race = 62 km

Speed of boat A across the distance = 62 km/h

Speed of boat A to return the same distance = 62 km/h

Time = Distance / Speed

Time taken by boat A to cover the first length

\text{Time}=\frac{62}{62}=1\ hour

Time taken by boat A to cover the return length

\text{Time}=\frac{62}{62}=1\ hour

So, total time taken by boat A is 1+1 = 2 hours

Speed of boat B across the distance = 31 km/h

Speed of boat B to return the same distance = 93 km/h

Time = Distance / Speed

Time taken by boat A to cover the first length

\text{Time}=\frac{62}{31}=2\ hour

Time taken by boat A to cover the return length

\text{Time}=\frac{62}{93}=0.67\ hour

So, total time taken by boat B is 2+0.67 = 2.67 hours

Hence boat A wins.

The burner on an electric stove has a power output of 2.0 kW. A 710 g stainless steel tea kettle is filled with 20∘C water and p
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The volume of water that was in the kettle is  1170 cm^{3}

Explanation:

Given:

Power, P = 2.0 kW = 2000 W, Mass of stainless steel, m_{s} = 710 g = 0.71 kg at temperature of  20^{0} C

Part A:

If it takes time, t = 3.5 minutes to reach boiling point of water 100^{0} C, then from conservation of energy,

Total energy supplied by the burner = Total heat gained by the water and the stainless steel to rise from 20^{0} C to 100^{0} C

i.e. Pt = m_{s}c_{s}(100 - 20 ) + m_{w}c_{w}(100 - 20 )

m_{w} = \frac{pt - 80m_{s} C_{s} }{80c_{w} } = \frac{2000*3.5*60 - 80*0.71* 450}{80*4200}

m_{w} = 1.17 kg

where c_{w} = 4200 J/Kgk (specific heat capacity of water), c_{s} = 450 J/Kgk (specific heat capacity of steel)

But volume of water in the the kettle, v = \frac{mass}{density} = \frac{1.17}{1000}= 1.17 *10^{-3} m^{3}

∴ v = 1170 cm^{3}

Which of the following is true of ligand gated sodium ion channels neurons?
AlladinOne [14]

The true statement about ligand gated sodium ion channels in neurons are open in response to chemical messenger and hyperpolarize the membrane.

<h3>What are ligand gated sodium ion channels?</h3>

Ligand gated sodium ion channels are the channels present in the neurons.  Ion moves through this channel inside the cell or outside the cell.

Thus, the correct option is a) Open in response to chemical messenger and depolarize the membrane.
