A 1980-kg car is traveling with a speed of 15.5 m/s. What is the magnitude of the horizontal net force that is required to bring
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer: 6067.5 N

Explanation:

Work = Change in Energy. To start, all of the energy is kinetic energy, so find the total KE using: KE = 1/2(m)(v^2). Plug in 1980 kg for m and 15.5 m/s for v and get KE = 237847.5 J.

Now, plug this in for work: Work = Force * Distance; so, divide work by distance to get 6067.5 N.

Why are bathroom tiles usually rough
Aleks04 [339]
-- Bathroom tiles are usually cool, so water condenses on them
when you take a hot bath or shower in the room. 

-- The natural result is that a smooth tile would become slippery,
exactly when you're walking around with wet feet and nothing on them ...
a dangerous situation.

-- In order to circumvent this safety hazard, the tiles in the bathroom
should be rough, especially on the floor.

How much pressure is applied to the ground
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Pressure applied by the man= 285103.125 Pa  or 41.35 lb/in^{2}

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as the perpendicular force applied per unit area.

i.e.  Pressure=\frac{Force}{Area}

Now, Force= mg

where, m = mass of the body(man) = 93 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity of Earth = 9.81 m/{s^{2}}

Area covered is equal to the area of both stilts(a man generally stands on two feet)

therefore Area=2(0.04)^{2} m^{2}

and putting in the values, we get,

Pressure=\frac{93\times9.81}{2\times(0.04)^{2}}Nm^{-2}=285103.125Nm^{-2}

Now we need to convert to our required units:

1Nm^{-2}=1Pa\\1Pa=0.000145038lb/in^{2}

(We can get the above result by individually converting kg to lb and meters to inches respectively)

Using the above relations we get,

Pressure=285103.125Pa=0.000145038\times285103.125lb/in^{2}=41.35lb/in^{2}
