When the canoe leaked, the boat sank because it has a leak. The boat must have a strong base at its bottom to enable itself to float. If this is damaged, the water can now enter due to the hole thereby increasing the velocity of water coming in.

Explanation :

It is given that, Calvert likes to paddle around in his canoe. One day it sprung a leak and started to fill with water. Luckily, Calvert was able to swim to shore, but the boat sank.

An object will float or sink depends on the density of an object. There can be two cases as:

  1. When the density of an object is less than water, it will float. This is because the buoyant force acting on it is more than the gravitational force.
  2. When the density of an object is more than water, it will sink. This is because the gravitational force acting on it is more than the buoyant force.

That's why the boat sink.

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

#_photon = 5 10²⁰ photons / s

Explanation:

For this exercise let's calculate the energy of a single quantum of energy, use Planck's law

         E = h f

         c= λ f

         E = h c / λ

          λ= 1000 nm (1 m / 109 nm) = 1000 10⁻⁹ m

Let's calculate

          E₀ = 6.6310⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/1000 10⁻⁹

          E₀ = 19.89 10⁻²⁰ J

This is the energy emitted by a photon let's use a proportions rule to find the number emitted in P = 100 w

                #_photon = P / E₀

               #_photon = 100 / 19.89 10⁻²⁰

              #_photon = 5 10²⁰ photons / s

olga_2 [115]

ANSWER:

D) centripetal acceleration.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

When a body performs a uniform circular motion, the direction of the velocity vector changes at every instant. This variation is experienced by the linear vector, due to a force called centripetal, directed towards the center of the circumference that gives rise to the centripetal acceleration.

Therefore, the answer is centripetal acceleration.
