A 15kg dog jumps out of a 40 kg canoe. If the dog's velocity is 1.2 m/s, what is the velocity of the canoe

the velocity is 0.45 m/s and it is moving in the opposite direction

or

-0.45 m/s

Explanation:

The law of conservation of momentum says that  initial momentum = final momentum

( mass x velocity of the dog ) = - (mass x velocity of the canoe)

(15 x 1.2) =- (40 x velocity of the canoe)

Velocity of the canoe = -(15 x 1.2) / 40 = -0.45 m/s

what experimental evidence led scientists to change from the previous model to this one?

a few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back.

the colors of light emitted from heated atoms had very specific energies.

experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions.

cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.

the speed of the cart after 3 seconds of low fan speed is ⇒ 54.0 cm/s.

the speed of the cart after 5 seconds of medium fan speed is ⇒ 120.0 cm/s.

the speed of the cart after 2 seconds of high fan speed is ⇒ 64.0 cm/s. 

just did the lab.
