The answer is, "the speed of the current is 5 miles per hour."

To calculate the speed of the current,
let's assume speed of current =  xmph. Time taken to travel from one pier to another with the current = 100/(20+x)h


But the time taken to travel from one pier to another with the current, which is given is = 4 hours. So,  4=100/(20+x) 80+4x = 100

4x = 20

x = 5 Thus, the speed of the current is 5 miles per hour.

Llana [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes I agree with the statement .

When a person who is perfectly insulated from the earth , touches a Van de Graaff , his body acquires charge . when the hair acquires it, it stands out due to mutual repulsion . It is to be noted here that at pointed areas on a surface , there is larger accumulation of charge. Accumulation of charge is greater at hair tops .

It is also a general observation that when a bird sits on high tension wire , his feather stands out due to the same reason.

With what type of electromagnetic radiation would you observe:
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Green part of the visible spectrum.

X ray part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Explanation:

Wien's displacement law

\lambda_{max}=\frac{b}{T}

Where, b = Wien's displacement constant = 2.898×10⁻³ mK

T = Temperature in kelvin

\lambda_{max}=\frac{2.898\times 10^{-3}}{5800}\\\Rightarrow\lambda_{max}=0.499\times 10^{-6}=0.5\mu m=500\ nm

So, the wavelength would be of around the green part of the visible spectrum.

\lambda_{max}=\frac{2.898\times 10^{-3}}{1\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow\lambda_{max}=2.898\times 10^{-9}=2.898\ nm

So, the wavelength would be of around the X ray part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Human body temperature = 37°C = 37+273.15 = 310.15 K

\lambda_{max}=\frac{2.898\times 10^{-3}}{37+273.15}\\\Rightarrow\lambda_{max}=\frac{2.898\times 10^{-3}}{310.15}\\\Rightarrow\lambda_{max}=9.34\times 10^{-6}=934\ nm

So, the wavelength would be of around the Infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
