Two canoeists in identical canoes exert the same effort paddling and hence maintain the same speed relative to the water. One pa

ddles directly upstream (and moves upstream), whereas the other paddles directly downstream. With downstream as the positive direction, an observer on shore determines the velocities of the two canoes to be −1.9 m/s and +2.8 m/s, respectively. What is the speed of each canoe relative to the water?

Answer:

Speed of river is 0.45 m/s

Speed of boat is 2.65 m/s

Explanation:

v_r = Speed of river

v_c = Speed of canoe

v_r+v_c=2.8\ m/s

v_r-v_c=-1.9\ m/s

Adding the equations we get

2v_r=0.9\\\Rightarrow v_r=\frac{0.9}{2}\\\Rightarrow v_r=0.45\ m/s

0.42+v_c=2.8\ m/s\\\Rightarrow v_c=2.8-0.45\\\Rightarrow v_c=2.65\ m/s

Speed of river is 0.45 m/s

Speed of boat is 2.65 m/s

How much work is done by the gravitational force on the block?
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Work = Mass * Gravity * Height and is measured in Joules. Imagine you find a 2 -Kg book on the floor and lift it 0.75 meters and put it on a table. Remember, that “force” is simply a push or a pull. If you lift 100 kg of mass 1-meter, you will have done 980 Joules of work.

Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours, so that objects on its surface execute uniform circular motion about the axis wit
fgiga [73]

Answer:

The effect of this rotation on the person on the surface is the sky is moving, like an apparent diurnal motion.

Explanation:

<em>For an observer at a fixed position on Earth, the rotation of earth makes it appear as if the sky is revolving around the earth. In other words, if a person is standing for long enough in a field at night, it looks like the sky is moving, not the person. This motion is called "apparent diurnal motion." </em>

<em>Diurnal means having to do with a day, in a sense of a 24- hour period.</em>

How many electrons are in an Sn+2 ion?
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Sn is Tin which has 50 atomic number

it means it has 50 electrons in its outer shells

+2 shows its valency

plus sign comes when electrons are removed from an atom

so here 2 electrons are removed from Sn atom

remaining electrons are 50-2
