Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed²).

A Physicist in the canoe, or on a raft floating downriver next to the canoe, will say that the canoe's kinetic energy is zero.

A Physicist on the riverbank, watching the canoe drift by at 1 m/s, will say that its kinetic energy is 9 Joules.

They're both correct.

How to do the equation p1v1 = p2v2 as an equation layed out like:
KonstantinChe [14]

P1 and P2 are the pressures, and V1 and V2 are the volumes. So you take the first pressure and volume you are given and place them into the equation P1V1 so the first part of the equation would be 101000*0.5 = P2V2. You then rearrange the equation to find what you want, in this instance you would do 50500/0.25 = P2... therefore P2 = 2020000Pa or 2.02*10^6Pa

Why do blades come in different lengths in a jig saw sander?​
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

To determine the minimum blade length, add 1" to the workpiece thickness. One type of material, and some materials can be cut by more than one type of blade. No matter the material, there's likely a jigsaw blade designed specifically for. Armed with the right blade, follow these pointers to make your work go (and cut) .
