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.
(1) Which boat wins? (Or is it a tie?)

(A) boat A
(B) boat B
(C) it's a tie
.
(2) By how much? answer in km
(3) What is the average velocity of the winning boat? answer needs to be km/h

Answer:

Part 1)

Boat A will win the race

Part 2)

Boat A will win the race by 48 km as the 2nd boat will reach the other end while boat A will just touches the finish line

Part 3)

average velocity must be zero

Explanation:

As we know that the distance moved by the boat is given as

d = 48 km

now the time taken by the boat to move to and fro is given as

t = \frac{d}{v}

t = \frac{48 + 48}{48}

t = 2 hrs

Time taken by Boat B to cover the distance

t = \frac{48}{24} + \frac{48}{72}

t = 2.66 h

Part 1)

Boat A will win the race

Part 2)

Boat A will win the race by 48 km as the 2nd boat will reach the other end while boat A will just touches the finish line

Part 3)

Since the displacement of Boat A is zero

so average velocity must be zero

A 100 mH inductor whose windings have a resistance of 6.0 Ω is connected across a 12 Vbattery having an internal resistance of 3
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The store energy in the inductor is 0.088 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Inductor = 100 mH

Resistance = 6.0 Ω

Voltage = 12 V

Internal resistance = 3.0 Ω

We need to calculate the current

Using ohm's law

V = IR

I=\dfrac{V}{R+r}

Put the value into the formula

I=\dfrac{12}{6.0+3.0}

I=1.33\ A

We need to calculate the store energy in the inductor

U=\dfrac{1}{2}LI^2

U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times100\times10^{-3}\times(1.33)^2

U=0.088\ J

Hence, The store energy in the inductor is 0.088 J

A team exerts a force of 10 N towards the south in a tug of war. The other, opposite team, exerts a force of 17 N towards the no
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

According to the question:

Force exerted by the team towards south, F = 10 N

Force exerted by the opposite team towards North, F' = 17 N

Net Force, \vec{F_{net}} = \vec{F'} - \vec{F}

\vec{F_{net}} = \vec{F'} - \vec{F} = 17 - 10 = 7 N

Thus the force will be along the direction of force whose magnitude is higher

Therefore,

\vec{F_{net}} = 7 N towards North
