The canoe is moving at 14.1 m/s to the right after the collision.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of momentum, in absence of external forces the total momentum of the system must be conserved before and after the collision. So we can write:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2

where:

m_1 = 16.0 kg is the mass of the canoe

u_1 = -12.5 m/s is the initial velocity of canoe (we take right as positive direction, and since the canoe is moving to the left, its velocity is negative)

v_1 is the final velocity of the canoe

m_2 = 14.0 kg is the mass of the raft

u_2 = +16.0 m/s is the initial velocity of the raft

v_2 = -14.4 m/s is the final velocity of the raft

Re-arranging the equation and substituting the values, we find: the final velocity of the canoe:

v_1 = \frac{m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2-m_2 v_2}{m_1}=\frac{(16.0)(-12.5)+(14.0)(16.0)-(14.0)(-14.4)}{16.0}=+14.1 m/s

So, the canoe is moving at 14.1 m/s to the right after the collision.

State any two effects of gravitational force​
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
Connection to Big Idea about energy: Gravity creates gravitational potential energy. Gravitational energy relies on the masses of two bodies and their distance.

Connection to Big Idea about the universe: Gravitational force is exerted by all objects with mass throughout the Universe. It is what keeps the Earth and the planets in orbit around the Sun, and our Solar System in orbit around the centre of the Milky Way. Gravity is one of the forces involved in the birth of stars, their evolution and finally their death.

Connection to Big Idea about Earth: The gravitational force is responsible for many physical properties of Earth and consequently it affects the existence and the properties of living creatures on it. For instance, the existence, the chemical composition and the structure of Earth’s atmosphere was determined by Earth’s gravitational force.

A 5 kgkg sphere having a charge of ++ 8 μCμC is placed on a scale, which measures its weight in newtons. A second sphere having
Mrac [35]

Answer:

 F_Balance = 46.6 N    ,m' = 4,755 kg

Explanation:

In this exercise, when the sphere is placed on the balance, it indicates the weight of the sphere, when another sphere of opposite charge is placed, they are attracted so that the balance reading decreases, resulting in

          ∑ F = 0

          Fe –W + F_Balance = 0

         F_Balance = - Fe + W

           

The electric force is given by Coulomb's law

          Fe = k q₁ q₂ / r₂

The weight is

          W = mg

Let's replace

           F_Balance = mg - k q₁q₂ / r₂

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

          q₁ = + 8 μC = +8 10⁻⁶ C

          q₂ = - 3 μC = - 3 10⁻⁶ C

          r = 0.3 m = 0.3 m

Let's calculate

         F_Balance = 5 9.8 - 8.99 10⁹  8 10⁻⁶ 3 10⁻⁶ / (0.3)²

         F_Balance = 49 - 2,397

         F_Balance = 46.6 N

This is the balance reading, if it is calibrated in kg, it must be divided by the value of the gravity acceleration.

Mass reading is

          m' = F_Balance / g

          m' = 46.6 /9.8

          m' = 4,755 kg

g Estimate the number of photons emitted by the Sun in a second. The power output from the Sun is 4 × 1026 W and assume that th
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The value is N  =  1.107 *10^{45 }  \ photons    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  power output from the sun is  P_o =  4 * 10^{26} \  W

   The average wavelength of each photon is  \lambda  = 550 \  nm  =  550 *10^{-9} \  m

Generally the energy of each photon emitted is mathematically represented as

        E_c =  \frac{h * c  }{ \lambda }

Here  h is the Plank's constant with value  h  =  6.62607015 * 10^{-34} J \cdot s

          c is the speed of light with value  c =  3.0 *10^{8} \  m/s

So

       E_c =  \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34}  * 3.0 *10^{8}  }{ 550 *10^{-9} }          

=>   E_c =  3.614 *10^{-19} \  J          

Generally the  number of photons emitted by the Sun in a second is mathematically represented as

         N  =  \frac{P }{E_c}

=>      N  =  \frac{4 * 10^{26} }{3.614 *10^{-19}}

=>      N  =  1.107 *10^{45 }  \ photons
