The distance of the canoeist from the dock is equal to length of the canoe, L.

<h3>Conservation of linear momentum</h3>

The principle of conservation of linear momentum states that the total momentum of an isolated system is always conserved.

v(m₁ + m₂) = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

where;

v is the velocity of the canoeist and the canoe when they are together

  • u₁ is the velocity of the canoe
  • u₂ velocity of the canoeist
  • m₁ mass of the canoe
  • m₂ mass of the canoeist

<h3>Distance traveled by the canoeist</h3>

The distance traveled by the canoeist from the back of the canoe to the front of the canoe is equal to the length of the canoe.

Thus, the distance of the canoeist from the dock is equal to length of the canoe, L.

You watch a distant lady driving nails into her front porch at a regular rate of 1 stroke per second. You hear the sound of the
Igoryamba

Answer:

λ = 1360 m

Explanation:

Given data:

frequency of driving nails is given as 1 stroke per second mean at every 0.25 sec she hit the nails

speed of sound is given as 340 m/s

we know that the wave equation is given as

Speed = frequency × wavelength,

v = f × λ

where,

v = speed in meters/second (m/s)

f = frequency in Hertz (Hz)

substituing value to get wavelength  of her driving nails

340 m/s = (1Hz)\times  \lambda

\lambda = \frac{340}{0.25}

λ = 1360 m

2. What process does water redeposit into a lake in the form of rain?
weqwewe [10]

The process that water redeposit into a lake in the form of rain is precipitation.

<h3>What is water runoffs?</h3>

Water runoff occurs when there is more water than land can absorb.

The water flows across the surface of the land and into nearby creeks, streams, or lakes.

Runoff can come from both natural processes and human activity.

When rain falls to the earth from clouds and runs downhill into rivers and lakes.

During evaporation, the water turns from liquid into gas, and moves from oceans and lakes into the atmosphere where it forms clouds.

<h3>What is precipitation?</h3>

Precipitation is any liquid (rain) or frozen water that forms in the atmosphere and falls back to the Earth, for example it could fall on land or into lakes and rivers.

Thus,  the process that water redeposit into a lake in the form of rain is precipitation.
