The statements of both students are incorrect.
-- Electrical power, just like mechanical power, is expressed in units of watts.
-- 'Coulomb' is the unit of electrical charge.
-- '400 k ohms' means 400,000 ohms of resistance.
-- 'Volt' is the unit of electromotive force (or potential difference).
There are no 'following statements'.
All in all, a very disappointing question.
Let volume of empty boat be = 100% = 1V
and mass of boat be M
In water 10%, 0.1V of the volume is submerged.
Mass, m of 1200kg increases the submerging from 10%, 0.1V to 70%, 0.7V
M leads to 0.1V boat submerging
boat submerging.
M + 1200kg leads to 0.7V boat submerging.
This is 60%, 0.6 V increase
By comparison
(M+1200kg) * 0.1V = 0.7V * M
0.1M + 120kg = 0.7M
120kg = 0.7M - 0.1M
120kg = 0.6M
M = (120/0.6)kg
M = 200kg.
The mass of the boat is 200kg.
Answer:

Explanation:
Since <em>light is so fast</em> we can assume no time passes between the lightning strikes and we observe it. We want to know then how far away did the strike occur for the sound to take 16s to reach our ears. Since the definition of velocity tells us that
, we can write
