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

Identify the row that contains two scalars and one vector quantity: Distance Acceleration Velocity Speed Mass Acceleration Dista
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Speed, mass and acceleration

Explanation:

A scalar quantity is a quantity that has only magnitude but no direction while a vector quantity has both magnitude and direction.

According to the question, the row that has two scalars and one vector is speed, mass and acceleration.

The two scalars in this row are speed and mass while the vector quantity there is the acceleration.

Acceleration has direction since it possess direction. A body accelerating will do so in a particular direction. Speed and mass doesn't possess any direction. Mass only specify the magnitude of the body but no clue as to which direction is the body moving towards.

Speed also only specify the

total distance covered with respect to time but not the direction of the direction.

In addition to plate tectonics, what is the other main driving force of the rock cycle?
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:  Option B

Explanation:

Rocks contains pores and spaces in them in which water gets trapped, and this causes the rock to break as water increases its volume due to freezing. This rocks are then eroded and are carried away into the streams and channels. The rivers and streams can carry particles of various shapes and size, which are further transported and deposited at a different place.

This particles or sediments then gets compacted and lithified in due course of time, and forms sedimentary rocks.

Water is also needed to undergo metasomatism process, that creates a metamorphic rock.

Hence, water flow is also an important driving force in rock cycle, along with tectonic activities.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

At what point will the electric field of a charged object be strongest?
maks197457 [2]
The electric field of a charged object will be strongest when all the field lines are close to one another.

beacsue, the strength of electric field depends on the number of lines of electric field. More lines at a place, higher the electric field strength. Thus, any charge in that area will face more electric field.
