The correct answer is B. 24 N.

To figure out the exact force the cart exerts on the woman, we have to use Newton's third law of motion.  Newton's third law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This means that if object  1 exerts a force on object 2 , object 2 will exert an equal but opposite force on object 1.

This law allows us to ignore the masses of the chart and the women and focus on the  pairs of forces the woman and the chart apply to each other.  Since the woman exerts a force of 24 N on the chart, the chart will exert a force of 24 N on the woman.

The correct answer is B. 24 N.

Which is the electric potential energy of a charged particle divided by its charge?Electric fieldelectric field lineelectric pot
Dahasolnce [82]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

electric potential

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Electric potential is the electric potential energy per unit charge.

Mathematically; V =PE/q

Where; PE is the electric potential energy, V is the electric potential and q is the charge.

Electric potential is more commonly known as voltage.  If you know the potential at a point, and you then place a charge at that point, the potential energy associated with that charge in that potential is simply the charge multiplied by the potential.

A man paddles a canoe at 6 km per hour. If he paddles on a river with a current of 6 km per hour, what is the speed of the canoe
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

If the canoe heads upstream the speed is zero. And directly across the river is  8.48 [km/h] towards southeast

Explanation:

When the canoe moves upstream, it is moving in the opposite direction of the normal river current. Since the velocities are vector (magnitude and direction) we can sum each vector:

Vr = velocity of the river = 6[km/h}

Vc = velocity of the canoe = -6 [km/h]

We take the direction of the river as positive, therefore other velocity in the opposite direction will be negative.

Vt = Vr + Vc = 6 - 6 = 0 [km/h]

For the second question, we need to make a sketch of the canoe and we are watching this movement at a high elevation. So let's say that the canoe is located in point 0 where it is located one of the river's borders.

So we are having one movement to the right (x-direction). And the movement of the river to the south ( - y-direction).

Since the velocities are vector we can sum each vector, so using the Pythagoras theorem we have:

Vt = \sqrt{(6)^{2} +(-6)^{2} } \\Vt=8.48[km/h]

Sovereignty is a political concept that refers to dominant power or supreme authority.

Explanation:

Sovereignty is an attribute of states that is both an idea and a reality of state power. It is one of the means, an important one, by which the government of a state seeks to ensure the best it possibly can for its people. As such, it also changes over time.

Which one of the following SI base units is not matched to the correct unit of measurement?
laiz [17]
<span><span>A.    </span>Length: km<span>


The Si units of all the left measurements are true thus, in length the typical and standard SI unit is meter. SI units, also called as International Standard of Units, is composed of the following systematized units of physical measure which include, mole (amount of substance), candela (luminous intensity), kelvin (temperature), ampere (electric current), second (time), kilogram (mass), and meter (length). Hence, these measures spheres in multiplication or division by power of 10, increase or decrease in measure.</span></span>
