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.

The pressure of air pushing down on a house roof is extremely large. Why is the roof not crushed?
Degger [83]
There is still air inside of a house, which is pushing the roof upwards, so the forces are equal and the roof is not crushed.

Aloiza [94]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The instrument that is <span>best suited for measuring the dimensions of a shoebox would be a ruler. A triple-beam balance is for measuring mass. A volumetric flask is for volume. A caliper is measuring lengths of small objects.</span>

A basketball player jumped straight up to grab a rebound. If she was in the air for 0.80 second, how high did she jump?
Kazeer [188]
-- She went up for 0.4 sec and down for 0.4 sec.

-- The vertical distance traveled in gravity during ' t ' seconds is

                   D  =  (1/2)  x  (g)  x  (t)²

                       = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (0.4 sec)²

                       =    (4.9 m/s²)  x  (0.16 s²)

                       =      0.784 meter        ( B )

Describe the difference between the velocity graph made walking at a steady rate and the velocity graph made at an increasing ra
levacccp [35]

Answer:

The difference between the velocity graph made walking at a steady rate means that its the same value in time, that means there's no slope on the graph, so its acceleration is 0

On the other hand, if the velocity is increasing with time, the slope of the graph becomes positive, which means that the acceleration of the particle is positive.
