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.

kaheart [24]

Answer:

Respect is having a regard for other people and their lives; it is showing those around us compassion and empathy. Children who show respect will find they are successful in all aspects of life. The sports environment is a great place to grow and establish respect.

A vector has an x-component
9966 [12]

Explanation:

The magnitude of a vector v can be found using Pythagorean's theorem.

||v|| = √(vₓ² + vᵧ²)

||v|| = √((-309)² + (187)²)

||v|| ≈ 361

You can find the angle of a vector using trigonometry.

tan θ = vᵧ / vₓ

tan θ = 187 / -309

θ ≈ 149° or θ ≈ 329°

vₓ is negative and vᵧ is positive, so θ must be in the second quadrant.  Therefore, θ ≈ 149°.

A charge of -2.65 nC is placed at the origin of an xy-coordinate system, and a charge of 2.00 nC is placed on the y axis at y =
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

A. Fnx = 5.71*10⁻⁵ N  ,  Fny= -3.67*10⁻⁵ N

B. Fn= 6.78 *10⁻⁵ N

C. α= 32.4° counterclockwise with the positive x+ axis

Explanation:

Because the particle q₃ is close to two other electrically charged particles, it will experience two electrical forces and the solution of the problem is of a vector nature.

Equivalences

1nC= 10⁻⁹C

1cm = 10⁻²m

Known data

k= 9*10⁹N*m²/C²

q₁= -2.65 nC =-2.65*10⁻⁹C

q₂= +2.00 nC = 2*10⁻⁹C

q₃= +5.00 nC= =+5*10⁻⁹C

d_{13} = \sqrt{(3.2)^{2} +(3.8)^{2} }

d_{13} =\sqrt{24.68} * 10⁻²m    = 4.9678* 10⁻²m

(d₁₃)² = 24.68*10⁻⁴m²

d₂₃ = 3.2 cm = 3.2*10⁻²m  

Graphic attached

The directions of the individual forces exerted by q₁ and q₂ on q₃ are shown in the attached figure.

The force (F₂₃) of q₂ on q₃ is repulsive because the charges have equal signs and the forces.

The force (F₁₃) of q₁ on q₃ is attractive because the charges have opposite signs.

Magnitudes of F₁₃ and F₂₃

F₁₃ = (k*q₁*q₃)/(d₁₃)²=( 9*10⁹*2.65*10⁻⁹*5*10⁻⁹) /(24.68*10⁻⁴)

F₁₃ = 4.8 *10⁻⁵ N

F₂₃ = (k*q₂*q₃)/(d₂₃)² =  ( 9*10⁹*2*10⁻⁹*5*10⁻⁹) /((3.2)²*10⁻⁴)

F₂₃ = 8.8 *10⁻⁵ N

x-y components of F₁₃ and F₂₃

F₁₃x= -4.8 *10⁻⁵ *cos β= - 4.8 *10⁻⁵(3.2/ (4.9678)= - 3.09*10⁻⁵ N

F₁₃y= -4.8 *10⁻⁵ *sin β= - 4.8 *10⁻⁵(3.8/(4.9678) =  - 3.67*10⁻⁵ N

F₂₃x  = F₂₃ =  +8.8 *10⁻⁵ N

F₂₃y = 0

x and y components of the total force exerted on q₃ by q₁ and q₂ (Fn)

Fnx= F₁₃x+F₂₃x =  - 3.09*10⁻⁵ N+8.8 *10⁻⁵ N= 5.71*10⁻⁵ N

Fny= F₁₃y+F₂₃y = - 3.67*10⁻⁵ N+0= - 3.67*10⁻⁵ N

Fn magnitude

F_{n} =\sqrt{(Fn_{x})^{2}+(Fn_{y})^{2}  }

F_{n} = \sqrt{(5.71)^{2}+(3.67)^{2}  } *10⁻⁵ N

Fn= 6.78 *10⁻⁵ N

Fn direction  (α)

\alpha =tan^{-1}( \frac{Fn_{y} }{Fn_{x} } )

\alpha =tan^{-1}( \frac{-3.67 }{5.71} )

α= -32.4°

α= 32.4° counterclockwise with the positive x+ axis
