A 55-kg woman is wearing high heels. If each heel has a circular cross-section 6.0 mm in diameter and she puts all her weight on
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

The pressure exerted by the woman on the floor is 1.9061 x 10⁷ N/m²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the woman, m = 55 kg

diameter of the circular heel, d = 6.0 mm

radius of the heel, r = 3.0 mm = 0.003 m

Cross-sectional area of the heel is given by;

A = πr²

A = π(0.003)²

A = 2.8278 x 10⁻⁵ m²

The weight of the woman is given by;

W = mg

W = 55 x 9.8

W = 539 N

The pressure exerted by the woman on the floor is given by;

P = F / A

P = W / A

P = 539 / (2.8278 x 10⁻⁵ )

P = 1.9061 x 10⁷ N/m²

Therefore, the pressure exerted by the woman on the floor is 1.9061 x 10⁷ N/m²

Determine the gradient and the co-ordinates of the x and y intercept of line whose equation is 2y + 3x = 1​
Savatey [412]

Answer:

The x - intercept is 1/3

The y - intercept is 1/2

The gradient is -3/2

Explanation:

To find the x - intercept of the equation 2y + 3x = 1, we find the value of x when y = 0. So,

2y + 3x = 1

2(0) + 3x = 1

0 + 3x = 1

3x = 1

x = 1/3

So, the x - intercept is 1/3

To find the y - intercept of the equation 2y + 3x = 1, we find the value of y when x = 0. So,

2y + 3x = 1

2y + 3(0) = 1

2y + 0 = 1

2y = 1

y = 1/2

So, the y - intercept is 1/2

To find the gradient of the equation 2y + 3x = 1, we re-write it in gradient intercept form by making y subject of the formula.

So, 2y + 3x = 1

2y = -3x + 1

y = -3x/2 + 1/2

The coefficient of x which equals -3/2 is the gradient.

The gradient is -3/2

Describe the orientation of magnetic field lines by drawing a bar magnet, labeling the poles, and drawing several lines indicati
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

A field is a way of mapping forces surrounding any object that can act on another object at a distance without apparent physical connection. The field represents the object generating it. Gravitational fields map gravitational forces, electric fields map electrical forces, and magnetic fields map magnetic forces.

g A wheel of radius 1.2 meters initially rotates clockwise around its center with an angular speed of 10 rad/s, and it steadily
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

 α = 5 rad / s²

Explanation:

This is a rotational kinematics exercise.

They indicate the initial velocity wo = 10 rad / s

             w = w₀ + α t

             α = \frac{w-w_o }{t}

let's calculate

             α = \frac{30-10}{4}

             α = 5 rad / s²

The velocity, the angular relation are the same in all the points of the wheel, the velocities and linear accelerations are the ones that change

            a = α r

            v = w r

A ray of light strikes a mirror with an angle of incident of 48º. Calculate: i) the angle of reflection and ii). the angle of de
Arada [10]

Answer:

I) angle of reflection = 48 degrees

II) angle of deviation = 0

Explanation:

Given that the:

angle of incident = 48º. 

According to law of reflection which state that the angle of incident is equal to the angle of reflection.

I.) Therefore,

angle of reflection = 48º. 

II.) There can only be deviation if the mirror has a diffused surface. But for a smooth plane mirror, there can never be any deviation.

Therefore ,

The angle of deviation = 0
