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

andriy [413]

The bottleneck event of the plants in an area results in secondary succession.

<h2>What is bottleneck event?</h2>

A bottleneck is an event that drastically reduces the population size of an organism. The bottleneck may be caused by various events, such as an environmental disaster, the hunting or habitat destruction that results in the deaths of organisms.

<h3>Secondary succession</h3>

Secondary succession is a type of ecological succession in which plants and animals recolonize a habitat after a major disturbance such as a devastating flood, wildfire, landslide, lava flow, or human activity e.g., farming or road or building construction.

fredd [130]

Answer:

0.25m²

Explanation:

We know that the summation of forces in the vertical direction is zero

So

PA-mg=0

A=mg/p

So

Substituting

A= 75* 9.8/3*10^-3

=0.25m² which is the total shoe area

Two 1.0 cm * 2.0 cm rectangular electrodes are 1.0 mm apart. What charge must be placed on each electrode to create a uniform el
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The number of electrons that must be moved from one electrode to the other to accomplish this is 1.4 X 10⁹ electrons.

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> calculate the charge on each electrode

Given;

Electric field strength = 2.0 X 10⁶ N/C

The distance between the electrode = 1mm = 1 X 10⁻³ m

Electric field strength (E) = Force (F)/Charge (q)

E =\frac{Kq}{r^2}

where;

E is the electric field strength = 2.0 X 10⁶ N/C

K is coulomb's constant = 8.99 X 10⁹ Nm²/C²

r is the distance between the electrodes = 1 X 10⁻³ m

q is the charge in each electrode = ?

q = \frac{Er^2}{K} = \frac{(2X10^6)(1X10^{-3})^2}{8.99 X10 ^9} = 0.2225 X 10⁻⁹ C

The charge on each electrode is 0.2225 X 10⁻⁹ C

<u>Step 2:</u> calculate the number of electrons to be moved from one electrode to the other.

1 electron contains 1.602 X 10⁻¹⁹ C

So, 0.2225 X 10⁻⁹ C will contain how many electrons ?

= (0.2225 X 10⁻⁹)/(1.602 X 10⁻¹⁹)

= 1.4 X 10⁹ electrons

Therefore, the number of electrons that must be moved from one electrode to the other to accomplish this is 1.4 X 10⁹ electrons.
