A 51.0-kg woman wearing high-heeled shoes is invited into a home in which the kitchen has vinyl floor covering. The heel on each

shoe is circular and has a radius of 0.400 cm. If the woman balances on one heel, what pressure does she exert on the floor?

Answer:

Pressure = 9.94 x 10⁶ Pascals

Explanation:

given data

mass = 51 kg

radius = 0.400 cm

solution

we know Pressure that is express as here

Pressure = total force on an area ÷ the area of the area .................1

and

Force is the woman's weight so weight will be

Weight = mass × gravity .................2

put here value

Weight = 51 × 9.8 m/s²

Weight = 499.8 Newtons

and

Area of a circle of bottom of the heel = (π) × (radius)² ...................3

put here value

Area = (π) × (0.40 cm)²

Area = 0.502654 cm²

Area = 0.0000502654 m²

and

now we put value in equation 1 we get

Pressure = force ÷ area

Pressure = 499.8 ÷ 0.0000502654

Pressure = 9943221.381 N/m²

Pressure = 9.94 x 10⁶ Pascals

Answer:

a) $t = -\frac{ln(2)}{k}$

b) See the proof below

$A(t) = A_o 2^{-\frac{t}{T}}$

c) $t = 3T \frac{ln(2)}{ln(2)}= 3T$

Explanation:

Part a

For this case we have the following differential equation:

$\frac{dA}{dt}= kA$

With the initial condition $A(0) = A_o$

We can rewrite the differential equation like this:

$\frac{dA}{A} =k dt$

And if we integrate both sides we got:

$ln |A|= kt + c_1$

Where $c_1$ is a constant. If we apply exponential for both sides we got:

$A = e^{kt} e^c = C e^{kt}$

Using the initial condition $A(0) = A_o$ we got:

$A_o = C$

So then our solution for the differential equation is given by:

$A(t) = A_o e^{kt}$

For the half life we know that we need to find the value of t for where we have $A(t) = \frac{1}{2} A_o$ if we use this condition we have:

$\frac{1}{2} A_o = A_o e^{kt}$

$\frac{1}{2} = e^{kt}$

Applying natural log we have this:

$ln (\frac{1}{2}) = kt$

And then the value of t would be:

$t = \frac{ln (1/2)}{k}$

And using the fact that $ln(1/2) = -ln(2)$ we have this:

$t = -\frac{ln(2)}{k}$

Part b

For this case we need to show that the solution on part a can be written as:

$A(t) = A_o 2^{-t/T}$

For this case we have the following model:

$A(t) = A_o e^{kt}$

If we replace the value of k obtained from part a we got:

$k = -\frac{ln(2)}{T}$

$A(t) = A_o e^{-\frac{ln(2)}{T} t}$

And we can rewrite this expression like this:

$A(t) = A_o e^{ln(2) (-\frac{t}{T})}$

And we can cancel the exponential with the natural log and we have this:

$A(t) = A_o 2^{-\frac{t}{T}}$

Part c

For this case we want to find the value of t when we have remaining $\frac{A_o}{8}$

So we can use the following equation:

$\frac{A_o}{8}= A_o 2^{-\frac{t}{T}}$

Simplifying we got:

$\frac{1}{8} = 2^{-\frac{t}{T}}$

We can apply natural log on both sides and we got:

$ln(\frac{1}{8}) = -\frac{t}{T} ln(2)$

And if we solve for t we got:

$t = T \frac{ln(8)}{ln(2)}$

We can rewrite this expression like this:

$t = T \frac{ln(2^3)}{ln(2)}$

Using properties of natural logs we got:

$t = 3T \frac{ln(2)}{ln(2)}= 3T$

Paha777 [63]

$E = mgh + \frac{1}2} m v^{2} + \frac{1}{2} I \omega^{2} = mgh + \frac{1}2} m r ^{2} \omega ^{2} + \frac{1}{2} I \omega^{2}$

for a solid cylinder: $I = \frac{1}{2} m r^{2}$
for a hollow cylinder: $I = mr^{2}$

I will look at the case of a hollow cylinder:

$E = mgh + I \omega ^{2} = constant \\ \\ I = \frac{mgh}{ \omega^{2} }$

That is as far as i get.
