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.

A boat sails south with the help of a wind blowing in the direction S36°E with magnitude 300 lb. Find the work done by the wind
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

The work done by the wind as the boat moves 130 ft is (rounded) W= 31,550 ft-lb.

Explanation:

F= 300 lb < -54º

Fsouth= 300 lb * cos(36º)

Fsouth= 242.7 lb

d= 130 ft

W= F*d

W= 31551 ft-lb

Which of the following is not true about the Law of Conservation of Energy?
SVEN [57.7K]

By definition, the law of conservation of energy states that:

Ei = Ef

Where,

Ei: initial energy

Ef: final energy

Therefore, no matter the type of energy, always the final energy is equal to the final energy.

Energy can be transformed into another type of energy. For example, the potential energy can be transformed into kinetic energy.

Also, energy is not created, nor destroyed.

Answer:

The following is not true about the Law of Conservation of Energy:

A. It states that the total energy in the universe keeps increasing.

Describe three physical changes that occur in nature?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer: Physical changes in nature could then be erosion in a mountain, the melting of snow, and a river freezing over from the cold. Since none of these changes affect the chemical composition of the mountain, the snow, or the river, they are physical changes.

Explain how fluids exert pressure
Veseljchak [2.6K]
In a fluid, all the forces exerted by the individual particles combine to make up the pressure exerted by the fluid 
Due to fundamental nature of fluids, a fluid cannot remain at rest under the presence of shear stress. However, fluids can exert pressure normal to any contacting surface. If a point in the fluid is thought of as a small cube, then it follows from the principles of equilibrium that the pressure on every side of this unit of fluid must be equal. but if this were not a case, the fluid would move in the directions of the resulting force, So the pressure on a fluid at rest is isotropic.
