Answer:

Acceleration, a = 4.1 m/s²

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting on the canoe, F = 338 N

Total mass of the system, m = 83 kg

We need to find the acceleration of the canoe. It is calculated using second law of motion as :

F = ma

a=\dfrac{F}{m}

a=\dfrac{338\ N}{83\ kg}  

a = 4.07 m/s²

or

a = 4.1 m/s²

So, the acceleration of the canoe is 4.1 m/s². Hence, this is the required solution.

Show that the entire Paschen series is in the infrared part of the spectrum. To do this, you only need to calculate the shortest
mr_godi [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the shortest wavelength in the series is shown below:-

\frac{1}{\lambda} = R(\frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} )

Where

\lambda represents wavelength

R represents Rydberg's constant

n_f represents Final energy states

and n_i represents initial energy states

Now Substitute is

1.097\times 10^7\ m^{-1}\ for\ R, \infty for\ n_i,\ 3 for\ n_i,\\\\\ \frac{1}{\lambda} = R(\frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} )

now we will put the values into the above formula

= 1.097\times 10^7 m^{-1}(\frac{1}{3^2} - \frac{1}{\infty^2} )\\\\ = 1.097\times10^7\ m^{-1} (\frac{1}{9} )

= 1218888.889 m^{-1}

Now we will rewrite the answer in the term of \lambda

\lambda = \frac{1}{1218888.889} m\\\\ = 0.82\times 10^{-6} m

So, the whole Paschen series is in the part of the spectrum.

A projectile is fired with a velocity of 22 m/s at an angle of 25°. What is the vertical component of the velocity?
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Vertical component of velocity is 9.29 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of projection of a projectile, v = 22 m/s

It is fired at an angle of 22°

The horizontal component of velocity is v cosθ

The vertical component of velocity is v sinθ

So, vertical component is given by :

v_y=v\ sin(25)

v_y=22\ m/s\times\ sin(25)

v_y=9.29\ m/s

Hence, the vertical component of the velocity is 9.29 m/s

A "gauge 8" jumper cable has a diameter d of 0.326 centimeters. The cable carries a current I of 30.0 amperes. The electric fiel
AveGali [126]

Answer:

0.0979 N/c

Explanation:

Electric field, E is given as a product of resistivity and current density

E=jP where P is resistivity and j is current density

But the current density is given as

j=\frac {I}{A} where I is current and A is area and A=\pi r^{2}

Substituting this into the first equation then E=P\times \frac {I}{\pi r^{2}}

Given diameter of 0.259 cm= 0.00259 m and the radius will be half of it which is 0.001295 m

E=1.72\times 10^{-8}\times \frac {30}{\pi \times 0.001295^{2}}=9.79\times 10^{-2} N/c=0.0979 N/c

Which statement describes a scientific theory?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

A theory changes based on new observations and testing.

Explanation:

A scientific theory is a product of multiple trials and repeated experiments. It usually follows after carefully conducting and testing the validity of the hypothesis.

A scientific theory provides an explanation into how something behaves.

A law just states a finding will not explain it.

Most theories are tenable and can be improved upon when new observations and testing are carried out.

For a transverse wave, what is a wavefront?
vichka [17]

Explanation:

A wavefront is the long edge that moves, for example, the crest or the trough. Each point on the wavefront emits a semicircular wave that moves at the propagation speed v. These are drawn at a time t later, so that they have moved a distance s = vt.
