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.

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

<em>About four million tons of </em><em><u>matter</u></em><em> are converted to energy in the Sun’s core every second</em>

Explanation:

<u>The Sun </u>

It's estimated that The Sun fuses near 600 million tons (6.10^9\ kg) of hydrogen into helium every second. As a result, 4 million tons of matter are converted to energy every second according to Einstein's equation E=mc^2

Balanced forces act on a ball that is being held above the ground in someone's hand. explain why these forces on the ball are ba
Licemer1 [7]
Hi Andrescruz9386

The ball in someone's hand is a balanced force because the object is staying in motion and is not changing at all so its evenly balanced, if its swinging back and fourth it is in motion and it wont stop till it becomes unbalanced, if the ball is just being held above the ground yes its balanced because nothing Is happening to it, its basically like a balance scale, if both sides are even and equal, than nothing will happen because there is no side that has more or less its equal so that's why its balanced, in order for it to be unbalanced it has to be brought upon unbalanced forces.

A 1.2 nf parallel-plate capacitor has an air gap between its plates. Its capacitance increases by 3.0 nf when the gap is filled
Damm [24]

Answer:

2.5

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor filled with dielectric is given by

C=kC_0

where

k is the dielectric constant

C_0 is the capacitance of the capacitor without dielectric

In this problem,

C_0=1.2 nF is the capacitance of the capacitor in air

C=3.0 nF is the capacitance with the dielectric inserted

Solving the equation for k, we find

k=\frac{C}{C_0}=\frac{3.0 nF}{1.2 nF}=2.5
