The net force is 6 N East

Explanation:

First of all, we start by noticing that all the forces act along the direction East-West, so we can simply find the net force by using algebraic addition.

In order to find the net force on the wheelchair, we need to define a positive direction and write down all the force with the proper sign.

Let's choose East as positive direction. Therefore, we have the following forces:

F_1 = +10 N (east), the force applied by Ms. PB

F_2 = +5 N (east), the force applied by Mr. Rigney

F_f = -2 N (west), the frictional force, acting in the opposite direction

F_r = -7 N (west), the air resistance, acting in the opposite direction

Taking into account the correct signs, we can now find the net force on the wheelchair:

F=F_1+F_2+F_f+F_r = +10 + 5 +(-2) + (-7) = +6 N

And the positive sign tells us that the direction of the net force is East.

A small 20-kg canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 2 m/s. What is the canoe’s kinetic energy? A. 40 J B. 80 J C. 18 J
rusak2 [61]

A small 20-kg canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 2 m/s. 40 J is the canoe’s kinetic energy.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given canoe has the mass and is being given to move at a speed. Therefore the kinetic energy of the canoe can be calculated using the following method,

Given that mass of the canoe = 20 kg and its speed =1 m/s

As we know that the Kinetic energy has the formula,

\text {Kinetic energy}=\frac{1}{2} \boldsymbol{m} \boldsymbol{v}^{2}

Therefore, substituting the value into the equation, we get,  

K . E .=\frac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 2^{2} = 40 J

What are the effects of ultraviolet sun rays????​
pychu [463]

Answer: UV rays, either from the sun or from artificial sources like tanning beds, can cause sunburn. Exposure to UV rays can cause premature aging of the skin and signs of sun damage such as wrinkles, leathery skin, liver spots, actinic keratosis, and solar elastosis. UV rays can also cause eye problems.

Kepler’s third law can be used to derive the relation between the orbital period, P (measured in days), and the semimajor axis,
NikAS [45]
Kepler's 3rd law is given as
P² = kA³
where
P = period, days
A = semimajor axis, AU
k = constant

Given:
P = 687 days
A = 1.52 AU

Therefore
k = P²/A³ = 687²/1.52³ = 1.3439 x 10⁵ days²/AU³

Answer:  1.3439 x 10⁵ (days²/AU³)
