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

Light enters air from water. The angle of refraction will be A. less than the angle of incidence. B. greater than or equal to th

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

E. greater than the angle of incidence.

Explanation:

Snell's law states that:

$n_i sin \theta_i = n_r sin \theta_r$ (1)

where

$n_i, n_r$ are the refractive index of the first and second medium

$\theta_i, \theta_r$ are the angle of incidence and refraction, respectively

For light moving from water to air, we have:

$n_i = 1.33$ (index of refraction of water)

$n_r = 1.00$ (index of refraction of air)

Substituting into (1) and re-arranging the equation, we get

$\sin \theta_r = \frac{n_i}{n_r} sin \theta_i = 1.33 sin \theta_i$

which means that

$\theta_r > \theta_i$

so, the correct answer is

E. greater than the angle of incidence.

A bus accelerates to 60 m/s to the east in 10 s. What is the buses acceleration? 2. A car traveling at 10.0 m/s to the west acce

professor190 [17]

Answers:

1) $a=6\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

2) $t=8s$

Explanation:

1) Acceleration $a$ is defined as the variation of Velocity $V$ in time $t$ :

$a=\frac{V}{t}$ (1)

A body also has acceleration when it changes its direction.

In this case we have a bus with a velocity of 60m/s to the east, that accelerates in a time 10s. So, we have to find the bus's acceleration:

$a=\frac{60m/s}{10s}$ (2)

$a=6m/s^{2}$ (3) This is the bus's accelerration

2) Now we have a car that accelerates $2m/s^{2}$ to the west in order to reach a speed of $16m/s$ in the same direction, and we have to find the time $t$ it takes to the car to reach that velocity.

Therefore we have to find $t$ from (1):

$t=\frac{V}{a}$ (4)

$t=\frac{16m/s}{2m/s^{2}}$ (5)

Finally:

$t=8s$ (6)
