HELP! When you hold a rectangular object, how does the area of the side that is resting on your hand affect the pressure and the

force that the object exerts?

Answer:

The larger the area, the lower the pressure. The force does not depend on the area

Explanation:

- The force exerted by the object on your hand does not depend on the area of contact between the object and the hand, but only on the weight of the object:

F=mg

where mg is the weight of the object.

- The pressure exerted by the object on your hand is given by:

p=\frac{F}{A}

where F is the force and A is the area of contact between the object and the hand. From this equation, we see that when the area of contact A is larger, the pressure p exerted on your hand is lower, and vice-versa.

Answer:

The larger the surface area touching your hand is, the lower the pressure is.

Explanation:

The side with the largest surface area applies the least pressure and force. This is because the weight and mass is more distributed amongst the larger surface area

A biker travels at an average speed of 18 km/hr along a 0.30 km straight segment of a bike path. How much time (in hours) does t
lawyer [7]

Answer: 0.016 h

Explanation:

\text{Average speed} = \frac{\text {Total Distance}}{\text {total time taken}}

It is given that, biker has an average speed = 18 km/h

Total distance traveled = 0.30 km

Therefore, time taken by biker to travel this distance:

\Rightarrow \text{total time taken} = \frac{0.30 km}{18 km/h}=0.016 h

Thus, the biker takes 0.016 hours to travel the segment of 0.30 km at an average speed of 18 km/h.

A coal train in Montana starts from rest and accelerates at 2.5m/s^2 for 15 s.
bearhunter [10]

Complete Question

A coal train in Montana starts from rest and accelerates at 2.5m/s^2 for 15 Find the trains maximum velocity

Answer:

The maximum velocity is   v =  37.5 \ m/s  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The acceleration is a =2.5\ m/s^2

   The time for the acceleration is t = 15 \  s

Generally from the kinematics equation

   v =  u  +  at  

here u  is the initial  velocity and the value  is  0 m/s  given that it started rom rest

     v =  0  +  2.5  *  15  

     v =  37.5 \ m/s

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Gonads

Explanation:

The gonads, the primary reproductive organs, are the testes in the male and the ovaries in the female. These organs are responsible for producing the sperm and ova, but they also secrete hormones and are considered to be endocrine glands.

An object is thrown up at 20m/s if it hits the ground after 10s,determine the final velocity and the height
dangina [55]

1) The final velocity of the object is -78 m/s (downward)

2) The final height of the object is -290 m

Explanation:

1)

When the object is thrown up, it follows a free fall motion, subjected only to the force of gravity (that pulls the object downward). Therefore, the object has a constant acceleration

g=9.8 m/s^2

towards the ground (acceleration of gravity).

Since this is a motion with constant acceleration, we can use the following suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a = g is the acceleration

t is the time of flight

In this problem we have:

u = +20 m/s (taking upward as positive direction)

t = 10 s is the time of flight

g=-9.8 m/s^2 (downward, so negative)

Solving for v, we find the final velocity:

v=20+(-9.8)(10)=-78 m/s

2)

For this part of the problem, we can use another suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

s is the displacement of the object

In this problem,

u = +20 m/s

t = 10 s

g=-9.8 m/s^2

Substituting, we find the final position of the object with respect to the initial position:

s=(20)(10)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(10)^2=-290 m
