Two friends are standing on opposite ends of a canoe. The canoe is at rest with respect to the lake. Then the friend at the nort

h end of the canoe throws a very massive ball to the friend at the south end of the canoe, who catches it. How does the canoe move, if at all, as a result? A. The canoe accelerates to the south. B.The canoe remains motionless. C. The canoe accelerates to the north

-- When the man at the North end throws the ball, the canoe
accelerates to the North.

-- While the ball is in flight, traveling south by the length of the
canoe, the canoe moves northward at a constant speed.

-- If the man at the south end misses the ball and fails to catch it,
then the canoe continues moving south at a constant speed, even
after the ball has passed him.

-- If the man at the south end successfully catches the ball, then the
canoe accelerates south at that moment, and comes to rest in the water.

A small object carrying a charge of -4.00 nC is acted upon by a downward force of 19.0 nN when placed at a certain point in an e
Gala2k [10]

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge acting on the object, q=-4\ nC=-4\times 10^{-9}\ C

Force acting on the object, F=19\ nC=19\times 10^{-9}\ C (in downward direction)

(a) The electric force acting in the electric field is given by :

F=qE

E is the electric field

E=\dfrac{F}{q}

E=\dfrac{19\times 10^{-9}\ N}{4\times 10^{-9}\ C}

E = 4.75 N/C

The direction of electric field is as same as electric force. But it is negative charge. So, the direction of electric field is in upward direction.

(b) The charge on the proton is, q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

The force acting on the proton is :

F=qE

F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 4.75

F=7.6\times 10^{-19}\ N

If the charge on the proton is positive, the force on the proton is in upward direction.

Hence, this is the required solution.

g A simple pendulum (consisting of a point mass suspended by a massless string) on the surface of the earth has a period of 1.00
leonid [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for time period of a pendulum is given as follows :

T = 2π\sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

l is length of pendulum and g is acceleration due to gravity .

So time period of pendulum  is not dependent on the mass of the pendulum . If time period is same and length is also the same then acceleration due to gravity will also be the same . Hence the acceleration due to gravity at distant planet will be same as that on the earth.

In each of two coils the rate of change of the magnetic flux in a single loop is the same. The emf induced in coil 1, which has
irinina [24]

Answer:

 Coil 2 have  235  loops

Explanation:

Given  

The number of loops in coil 1 is n ₁= 159

The emf induced in coil 1 is  ε ₁ = 2.78 V

The emf induced in coil 2 is  ε ₂ = 4.11 V

Let

n ₂  is the number of loops in coil 2.

Given, the emf in a single loop in two coils are same. That is,

ϕ ₁/n ₁= ϕ ₂ n ₂⟹ 2.78/159 = 4.11/ n ₂

n₂=\frac{159 * 4.11}{2.78}

n₂=235

Therefore, the coil 2 has  n ₂= 235  loops.

Electromagnetic waves do require a medium to travel.<br><br> True<br> False
pshichka [43]

Answer:

The Answer is false

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in that they do not require a medium to propagate. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel not only through air and solid materials, but also through the vacuum of space.

If an automobile had a 100%-efficient engine, transferring all of the fuel's energy to work, would the engine be warm to your to
svetlana [45]

Answer:

The engine would be warm to touch, and the exhaust gases would be at ambient temperature. The engine would not vibrate nor make any noise. None of the fuel entering the engine would go unused.

Explanation:

In this ideal engine, none of these events would happen due to the nature of the efficiency.

We can define efficiency as the ratio between the used energy and the potential generable energy in the fuel.

n=W, total/(E, available).

However, in real engines the energy generated in the combustion of the fuel transforms into heat (which heates the exhost gases, and the engine therefore transfering some of this heat to the environment). Also, there are some mechanical energy loss due to vibrations and sound, which are also energy that comes from the fuel combustion.
