The equation of the boat upstream is 20-s.
The equation downstream is 20+s.
Where s is the speed of the current.
Then, we know that the time spent is equal in both cases, and we also know that time equals distance divided by the speed. So, we express the following.
[tex]\frac{40}{20-s}=\frac{60}{20+s}[/tex]Solve for s.
[tex]\begin{gathered} 40(20+s)=60(20-s) \\ 800+40s=1200-60s \\ 60s+40s=1200-800 \\ 100s=400 \\ s=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the speed of the current is 4 miles per hour.
A. How many Coulombs are there in one fundamental/elementary charge?B. How many electrons are there in one coulomb of negative charge?
(A). The number of Coulombs in one fundamental charge of an electron is,
[tex]1e\text{ = 1.}6\times10^{-19}\text{ C}[/tex](B). The charge in terms of the number of electrons is,
[tex]q=ne[/tex]where q is the net charge, e is the fundamental charge and n is the number of electrons,
For the net charge of q = 1 Coulomb, the number of electrons is,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1\text{ C=n}\times1.6\times10^{-19}\text{ C} \\ n=\frac{1}{1.6\times10^{-19}} \\ n=0.625\times10^{19} \\ n=6.25\times10^{18}\text{ } \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the number of electrons in the 1 Coulomb of charge is,
[tex]6.25\times10^{18}[/tex]
One coulomb (1 C) is equal to approximately 6.24 x 10 18 elementary charges. Thus, an elementary charge is approximately 1.60 x 10 -19 C.
The unit of electrical charge quantity in the International System of Units is the coulomb. Coulomb is the SI unit of electric charge which is equal to the amount of charge transported by a current of one ampere in one second. It can be also, a property of a matter due to which electrical and magnetic effects are produced. It is denoted by C. Mathematically, 1 Coulomb = 1 Ampere × 1 second.
To illustrate the magnitude of 1 Coulomb, an object would need an excess of 6.25 x 1018 electrons to have a total charge of -1 C. And of course, an object with a shortage of 6.25 x 1018 electrons would have a total charge of +1 C. The charge on a single electron is -1.6 x 10 -19 Coulomb.
Charge on an electron(e)= 1.6∗10^−19 C approximately.
By quantization property of charge(Smallest unit is e),

Voltage (V) = 120 V
We can calculate the current value as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} I=\frac{P}{E} \\ \\ \text{ We replacing:} \\ \\ I=\frac{840}{120} \\ \\ I=7\text{ A} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the number of amperes is 7
A tractor travels at a constant speed of 6m/s. Find the power supplied by the engine if it can supply a maximum force of 467 kN.
speed = v = 6m/s
Force = 467 kn = 467000N
Power = Work/ time
Work = Force x distance
Speed = distance / time
Isolating Distance:
Distance = Speed * time
P =[ Force * (speed * time ) ] / time
P = Force * speed
Replacing:
P = 467000 N * 6 m/s = 2,802,000 W
Calculate the answer to the correctnumber of significant digits.1.899+ 0.58
ANSWER
2.48
EXPLANATION
We have to add like we normally do with whole numbers and put the decimal point in the same place it is in each summand:
The significant digits start with the first digit different from zero, reading from left to right:
This number has 4 significant digits in total: 2, 4, 7 and 9
Note that the numbers added don't have the same number of decimal places. The first one has three decimal places while the second one has two decimal places. This means that we have to round the answer to the second decimal place - which is hte 3rd significant digit. SInce the 4th significant digit is more than 5, we have to add one to the third significant digit:

Answer and explanation:
A correct option is an option (B). Option b is not true of the reaction on the sun because the reactions do not happen in between helium atoms.
All other options (A), (C), and (D) are incorrect because, in sun, the nuclear fusion reaction takes place between hydrogen atoms. Due to the sun's gravitational force and high temperature, the nuclei of helium move vary fast.
Conclusion:
The correct option is option (B).
Solve using a system of linear equationsA motorboat takes 3 hours to travel 108 miles going upstream. The return trip takes 2 hours going downstream. What is the rate of the boat in still water and what is the rate of the current? Rate of the boat in still water=( )mi/h Rate of the current=( )mi/h
Let's use the constant motion equation: d = v*t, to express the equation for each case. But first, let's find the speed.
[tex]v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{108mi}{3hr}=36\cdot\frac{mi}{hr}[/tex]The speed going upstream is 36 mi/hr.
[tex]v=\frac{108mi}{2hr}=54\cdot\frac{mi}{hr}[/tex]The speed going downstream is 54 mi/hr.
Observe that the distance traveled is the same.
Once we have the speed for each case, we can form the following system of equations.
[tex]\begin{gathered} x-y=36 \\ x+y=54 \end{gathered}[/tex]The first equation represents the difference between the motorboat speed in still water (x) and the rate of the current (y).
The second equation represents the addition between these two rates x and y. One equation represents the situation where the speeds are in opposite direction, and the other one represents when the
If frictional forces and air resistance were acting upon the falling ball in #1 would the kinetic energy of theball just prior to striking the ground be more, less, or equal to the value predicted in #1?
Given that the ball is falling in two different situations.
Kinetic energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its motion and it is proportional to the square of the velocity of the object.
The frictional force and the air resistance are the forces that will be opposing the motion of the ball. That is these forces act in the opposite direction of the motion of the ball thus reducing the net acceleration acting on the ball.
As the acceleration decreases the final velocity of the ball decreases.
Thus the kinetic energy of the ball just prior to striking the ground will be less than before.

Kinematics question. Please note I’ve never done kinematics before so lots and lots of explanation very necessary.
Given figure is Time -velocity graph that indicate acceleration .
Now, according to problem
1) A graph line is parallel to time axis i.e. velocity is not changing with passes of time , so acceleration (a) = 0.
Here,
acceleration (a)= 0
time (t)= 20 sec
starting speed (u)= 40 m /s
final speed (v)= 40m /s
distance covered( s)= ?
Now using formula for linear motion ,we get
[tex]\begin{gathered} s=ut+\text{ }\frac{1}{2}at^2; \\ s=\text{ 40}\times20+\text{ 0}\begin{cases}a={0} \\ t={20}\end{cases} \\ s=800m; \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer is 800m
2) For graph line B---
Starting speed(u)= 25 m/s ( when time =0)
final speed (v) = 50 m/s (when time =20 s)
time (t)= 20 sec
acceleration (a)= ?
distance travelled (s)= ?
Now acceleration is given by
[tex]\begin{gathered} a=\frac{v-u}{t}; \\ a=\frac{50-25}{20}=\text{ }\frac{25}{20}=\text{ 1.25ms}^{-2} \end{gathered}[/tex]Again distance travelled in 20 s is given by

3) when t= 20 sec then distance travelled by A=800m and distance travelled by B= 750 m . Therefore A is ahead of B
4) distance travelled by car A in 40 sec is given by
[tex]\begin{gathered} s=ut\text{ +}\frac{1}{2}at^2 \\ s=\text{ 40}\times40+0\begin{cases}a={0} \\ u={40}\end{cases} \\ s=1600m \end{gathered}[/tex]Now distance travelled by B is given by

If it carries away an energy of 8.1 x 10-15 eV in a one-quantumchange, what is the frequency of the pendulum? (Note that an energy this smallwould not be measurable. For this reason, we do not notice quantum effects in thelarge-scale world.)
Given:
Energy = 8.1 x 10⁻¹⁵ eV.
Let's find the frequency of the pendulum.
To find the frequency, apply the formula for the energy of a light quantum:
[tex]E=hf[/tex]Where:
E is the energy
h is Planck's constant = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ m² kg/s
f is the frequency.
Where:
1 eV = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J.
Rewrite the formula for f and solve:
[tex]f=\frac{E}{h}[/tex]Thus, we have:
[tex]f=\frac{8.1\times10^{-15}*(1.6\times10^{-19})}{6.63\times10^{-34}}[/tex]Solving further:
[tex]\begin{gathered} f=\frac{8.1\times10^{-15}*(1.6\times10^{-19})}{6.63\times10^{^{-34}}} \\ \\ \\ f=1.95\text{ Hz.} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the frequency of the pendulum is 1.95 Hz.

A train car with a mass of 5 kg and speed of 5 m/s is traveling to the right. Another train car with a mass of 2 kg is standing still. After the collision, the 5 kg train car is stuck to the 2 kg train car, what is their combined Final Velocity?
From the Law of Conservation of Linear Momentum, we have:
[tex]m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v_1^{\prime}+m_2v_2^{\prime}[/tex]If the two particles have the same velocity after the collision, then v₁'=v₂'.
Let v be equal to the final velocity of the particles. Then:
[tex]\begin{gathered} m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v+m_2v \\ \\ \Rightarrow m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v \end{gathered}[/tex]Since v is unknown, isolate it from the equation:
[tex]v=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}[/tex]Replace the data to find the value of v:
[tex]\begin{gathered} m_1=5kg \\ v_1=5\frac{m}{s} \\ \\ m_2=2kg \\ v_2=0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow v=\frac{(5kg)(5\frac{m}{s})+(2kg)(0)}{5kg+7kg}=\frac{25kg\frac{m}{s}}{12kg}=2.08333...\frac{m}{s} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the combined final velocity of both train cars is approximately 2.1m/s.

Explanation:
The acceleration of the train can be calculated as
[tex]a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}[/tex]Where vf is the final velocity, vi is the initial velocity, and t is the time. Replacing vf = 10 m/s, vi = 0 m/s, and t = 5 s, we get:

lc. A student makes a claim that states the first hill of a roller coaster is always the tallest(Point A) provided there is no mechanical assistance at any point after Point A on the track.Do you accept or reject her claim? Explain your answer. (2 points)
We accept the claim. This comes from the fact that if there is no mechanical assistance after point A (that is the tallest) then we make sure that the potential energy converts in kinetic energy and that way we make sure that the rollercoaester reaches all the other hills. If the tallest point is not the first one and there's no mechanical assitances then the rollercoester won't reach the hills that are taller than the first one (the kinetic energy won't be enough to reach it).

Let's determine if the statement ''When an arrow is released from its bow, its energy is transformed from potential energy to kinetic energy'' is correct.
Let's first define kinetic and potential energies.
Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position which depends on the relative position of various parts of the system.
Kinetic energy is the energy possesed by an object in motion.
Therefore, before the arrow is released from the bow, it is at rest and the energy is stored.
Hence, it posssess potential energy.
When the arrow is now released from the bow, it is now in motion. Since it is now in motion, the potential energy is now transformed to kinetic energy.
Therefore, the statement ''When an arrow is released from its bow, its energy is transformed from potential energy to kinetic energy'' is correct.
Which law of thermodynamics states that absolute zero cannot be reached? Also a hot cup of tea absorbs thermal energy from a cold room? True false
The third law of thermodynamics states that the absolute zero-temperature 0 K cannot be reached by a finite number of steps.
Thus, the answer is the third law of thermodynamics.
Also, a hot cup of tea absorbs thermal energy from a cold room. The given statement is false.
Thus, the given statement is False.
