Answer:

500Pa

Explanation:

Pressure = Force / Area where area is in $m^{2}$ .

Firstly, lets convert both area dimensions into metrers.

40cm = 40/100 m = 0.4m

50cm = 50/100 m = 0.5m

Area of Bottom area of box = 0.4m x 0.5m = $0.2m^{2}$

Pressure = $\frac{100N}{0.2m^{2} }$

= 500Pa

Answer:

Pressure exerted = 500 Pa

Explanation:

The formula for pressure is as follows:

$Pressure = \frac{Force \space\ applied}{Area}$

In this case,

Force applied = 100N

Area = 40cm × 50cm = 2000cm² = 2000 × 10⁻⁴ = 0.2m²

Substituting these values into the formula:

Pressure = $\frac{100}{0.2}$

⇒ Pressure = 500 Pa

A hydraulic machine has a small piston and a larger piston. Explain how a hydraulic machine multiplies force? What happens to th

Tanya [424]

Answer:

Explanation:

Pressure is equal to the force divided by the area on which it acts. Since the smaller piston has less area so from less force also we can get more efficiency in work. And according to the Pascal's principle, in a hydraulic system, pressure exerted on a piston produces an equal increase in pressure on another piston in the system. Thus by applying little force in the smaller piston, we can get same force from larger piston too. A hydraulic machine magnifies force.

What is the acceleration of an object that goes from 45m/s to 10 m/s in 5 seconds?

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf a= -7 \ m/s^2}}$

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity over time.

$a= \frac {v_f-v_i}{t}$

The object accelerates from 45 meters per second to 10 meters per second in 5 seconds. Therefore,

$v_f=10 \ m/s \\v_i= 45 \ m/s \\t= 5 \ s$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$a= \frac{ 10 \ m/s - 45 \ m/s}{5 \ s}$

Solve the numerator.

$a= \frac { -35 \ m/s}{5 \ s}$

Divide.

$a= -7 \ m/s/s$

$a= -7 \ m/s^2$

The acceleration of the object is -7 meters per square second. The acceleration is negative because the object's velocity decreases and the object slows down.

The floor of a railroad flatcar is loaded with loose crates having a coefficient of static friction of 0.320 with the floor. If

mart [117]

Answer: 29.50 m

Explanation: In order to calculate the higher accelation to stop a train without moving the crates inside the wagon which is traveling at constat speed we have to use the second Newton law so that:

f=μ*N the friction force is equal to coefficient of static friction multiply the normal force (m*g).

f=m.a=μ*N= m*a= μ*m*g= m*a

then

a=μ*g=0.32*9.8m/s^2= 3.14 m/s^2

With this value we can determine the short distance to stop the train

as follows:

x= vo*t- (a/2)* t^2

Vf=0= vo-a*t then t=vo/a

Finally; x=vo*vo/a-a/2*(vo/a)^2=vo^2/2a= (49*1000/3600)^2/(2*3.14)=29.50 m

Please help me quickly!!!

vichka [17]

Hey! So referring to the data the thing we can clearly see is that in a vacuum, everything, regardless of its mass, falls at the same speed.

Acceleration is often confused with speed, or velocity, but the difference is, acceleration by definition is the rate of which an object falls with respect to its mass and time.

Every single thing in the world falls at the same acceleration, this is because of gravity. The difference is the speed of which it falls. In space, there is not any gravity, and so, the objects are able to fall at the same speed regardless of their mass.
