The correct answer is option b, 63.6 kPa

Given,

The diameter of the heel, d=7 cm=0.07 m

The mass of the child, m=25 kg

The pressure is given by the ratio of the force to the area through which the force is applied.

The force applied on the floor by the child is equal to its weight.

Thus the pressure applied on the floor by the child is given by,

\begin{gathered} P=\frac{F}{A} \\ =\frac{mg}{\pi(\frac{d}{2})^2} \end{gathered}

Where A is the area of the cross-section of the heel.

On substituting the known values,

\begin{gathered} P=\frac{25\times9.8}{\pi(\frac{0.07}{2})^2} \\ =63.6\times10^3\text{ Pa} \\ =63.6\text{ kPa} \end{gathered}

Thus the pressure applied on the floor by the heel is 63.6 kPa

what happens to the current in a circuit if the resitance of the components in the circuit is increased​
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The current decreases.

Explanation:

Current and resistance are inversely proportional. The equation connecting current, resistance and voltage is V = IR, where V is voltage, I is current and R is resistance.

Rearranging this equation, you get:

I = \frac{V}{R}

and

R = \frac{V}{I}

If the value of voltage in both equations remains constant, and the value of R decreases, the value of I will increase. Conversely, if in the second equation R = \frac{V}{I} , the value of V remains constant the value of I decreases, then the value of R, resistance will increase.

Thus, it can be seen that the current will decrease as resistance increases and vice versa.

how much is need to lift a load of 100n placed at a distance of 29 cm from fulcrum if effort is applied at 60cm from the fulcrum
dangina [55]

Answer:

206.8965517 n

Explanation:

First, we need to see that 60:29 is 2.078965517:1. Then we need to multiply the energy put 29 cm from the fulcrum by 2.078965517, giving us the end result of our answer.

What kind of scattering (Rayleigh, Mie, or non-selective) would you expect to be most important when radiation of the specified
oee [108]

Answer:

hello your question is not properly arranged attached below is the arranged table and solution

answer : attached table below

Explanation:

Given data:

02 molecules size = 10^-10m

smoke particles size = 0.3 mm

cloud droplets size = 20 mm

Rain droplets size = 3 mm

Attached below is a table showing the kind of scattering that is expected to occur at various wave lengths

Note : For Rayleigh scattering the wave particle is smaller than the wave length while for Non-selective scattering the wave particle is greater than the wavelength.

and  For Mie scattering the wavelength is the same as the wavelength.

Name arleady three types of energy associated with a microwave
Elena L [17]
I'm pretty sure what you are trying to ask for is radiative energy, light energy, and electronic energy
<span>Radiative since the microwave is releasing radiation </span>
<span>Light since there is light inside the microwave.</span>
Electronic since it is plugged in and uses electricity.
<span>You can also use sound, but I don't think every microwave makes sound. </span>
