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

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The time is  t = 0.02 \ s  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The period of the circuit is  T  =  0.04

Generally voltage maximization of the capacitor occurs during the voltage minimization of the inductor and vise versa

So the time between the voltage maximization of the capacitor and that of the inductor is mathematically represented as

           t = \frac{T}{2}

=>        t = \frac{0.04}{2}

=>        t = 0.02 \ s

In film photography, shutter speed is the length of time that the film is exposed to the scene you’re photographing. Similarly,
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

a. 1/1000 sec

Explanation:

Shutter speed is the length of time that the film you’re photographing is being exposed to the scene in film photography. However, in digital photography, shutter speed is the length of time that the image sensor sees the scene the photographer is trying to capture.

For shutter speeds, the greater the denominator the higher the speed and the lower the denominator, the lower the speed.

Thus, the fastest one is option A.

The acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s2. A sling shot fires a rock straight up into the air with a speed of +39.2 m/s. 1. what
Vanyuwa [196]

Given that,

The acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity, u = 39.2 m/s

Time, t = 2 s

To find,

The final velocity of the shot.

Solution,

Let v is the final velocity of sling shot. Using first equation of motion to find it.

v = u +at

Here, a = -g

v = u-gt

v = (39.2)-(9.8)(2)

v = 19.6 m/s

So, its velocity after 2 seconds is 19.6 m/s.
