Answer: 208.3 s

Explanation:

Hi!

You need to calculate the velocity of the boat relative to the shore, in each trip.

Relative velocities are transformed according to:

$V_{b,s} = V_{b,w} + V_{w,s}\\ V_{b,s} = \text{velocity of boat relative to shore}\\V_{b,w} = \text{velocity of boat relative to water} \\V_{b,w} = \text{velocity of water relative to shore}\\$

Let's take the upstram direction as positive. Water flows downstream, so it's velocity relative to shore is negative , -2 m/s

In the upstream trip, velocity of boat relative to water is positive: 10m/s. But in the downstream trip it is negatoive: -10m/s

In upstream trip we have:

$V_{b,s} = (10 - 2)\frac{m}{s} = 8 ms$

In dowstream we have:

$V_{b,s} = (-10 - 2)\frac{m}{s} = -12 ms$

In both cases the distance travelled is 1000m. Then the time it takes the round trip is:

$T = T_{up} + T_{down} = \frac{1000}{8}s + \frac{1000}{12}s = 208.3 s$

What physical property makes the red light different from blue light, or radio waves different from microwaves?

inna [77]

Only their wavelength does.

Blue light waves have only roughly half the wavelength of red light waves, and the so-called "microwaves" are the radio waves with the shortest wavelengths.

Give examples of plants that can reproduce by vegetative reproduction.

marishachu [46]

Answer:

Some examples of vegetative propagation are farmers creating repeated crops of apples, corn, mangoes or avocados through asexual plant reproduction rather than planting seeds. Vegetative propagation can be accomplished from side-shoots, slips, stems and sections of tubers, bulbs or rhizomes.

A body is at aheight of 81m and is ascending upwards with a velocity of 12m/s .a body of 2 kg weight is dropped from it.if g=10m

butalik [34]

First the velocity drops to zero in 1.2 secs. In those seconds it went upwards for 7.2 m, then it went from 87.2 to 0m. x-x0=v0*t+1/2*g*t^2 ergo t=sqrt(2x/g) that is 4.1761 s. Finally the total time required is 5.3761 s

An electron is accelrated by a unifor electric field (1000v/m) pointing vertically upward. Use energy methods to get the magnitu

ExtremeBDS [4]

Explanation:

In the given situation two forces are working. These are:

1) Electric force (acting in the downward direction) = qE

2) weight (acting in the downward direction) = mg

Therefore, work done by all the forces = change in kinetic energy

Hence, $qE \times S + mg \times S = 0.5 \times mv^{2}$

$1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000 + 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 9.8 \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2}$

It is known that the weight of electron is far less compared to electric force. Therefore, we can neglect the weight and the above equation will be as follows.

$(1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000) \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2
}$

v = $sqrt{\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{(0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31})}$

= 592999 m/s

Since, the electron is travelling downwards it means that it looses the potential energy.

Hydrogen is the second most abundant gas in the atmosphere? True or false?

Alenkinab [10]

False as oxygen is the second most abundant and nitrogen is the most abundant at 78%.
