Pressure = total force/total area

Total force = 660 Newton's

Total area:

Each leg contacts the floor with an area of πr^2=π(0.025m)^2=0.002m^2.

Total contact area for all 3 legs = 0.006 m^2.

Pressure = (660N) / (0.006 m^2)

= 110,000 N/m^2 = 110,000 Pascal's.

A wire must be replaced in a circuit by a new wire of the same material but nine times longer. If the new wire's resistance is t
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

three times the original diameter

Explanation:

From the wire's resistance formula, we can calculate the relation between the diameter of the wire and its length:

R=\rho\frac{l}{\pi \frac{d^2}{4}}\\d=\sqrt{\rho \frac{4 l}{\pi R}}\\

Here, d is the wire's diameter, \rho is the electrical resistivity of the material and R is the resistance of the wire. We have l'=9l

d'=\sqrt{\rho \frac{4 l'}{\pi R}}\\d'=\sqrt{\rho \frac{4 (9l)}{\pi R}}\\d'=3\sqrt{\rho \frac{4 l}{\pi R}}\\d'=3d

Goshia [24]

Answer:

It took 1.28 seconds to his voice to reach the Earth via radio waves.

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the distribution of radiation due to the different frequencies at which it radiates and its different intensities, that radiation is formed by electromagnetic waves, which are transverse waves formed by an electric field and a magnetic field perpendicular to it.

The distribution of the radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum can also be given in wavelengths, but it is more frequent to work with it at frequencies, the highest being that of gamma rays, followed by X-rays, ultraviolet rays and the visible region , and those of lower frequencies, which correspond to infrared, microwave and radio waves.

Light propagates as electromagnetic wave in vacuum with a speed of 3x10^{8}m/s. Therefore, radio waves will have in vacuum the same speed.

Then, to know the time that it took for its voice, the next equation can be used:

c = \frac{d}{t}  (1)

Where c is the speed of light, d is the distance and t is the time.

Notice that t can be isolated from equation 1.

t = \frac{d}{c} (2)

t = \frac{3.85x10^{8} m}{3x10^{8}m/s}

t = 1.28s

Hence, it took 1.28 seconds to his voice to reach the Earth via radio waves.
