How do we know that the universe is getting bigger faster and faster?

Asmall 21 kilogram canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 1 m/s. what is the canoe's kinetic energy?

Select all the correct answers. which changes will increase the rate of reaction during combustion? decreasing the area of contact between the reactants adding more oxygen to the reaction removing heat from the reaction changing the reactants from solid form to powdered form lowering the exposure of the reactants to air

An alpha particle with kinetic energy 12.5 mev makes a collision with lead nucleus, but it is not "aimed" at the center of the lead nucleus, and has an initial nonzero angular momentum (with respect to the stationary lead nucleus) of magnitude l = p0 b, where p0 is the magnitude of the initial momentum of the alpha particle and b=1.40×10−12 m. (assume that the lead nucleus remains stationary and that it may be treated as a point charge. the atomic number of lead is 82. the alpha particle is a helium nucleus, with atomic number 2.) what is the distance of closest approach?
