Answer:

We know that force applied per unit area is called pressure.

Pressure = Force/ Area

When force is constant than pressure is inversely proportional to area.

1- Calculating the area of three face:

A1 = 20m x 10 m =200 Square meter

A2 = 10 mx 5 m = 50 Square meter

A3 = 20m x 5 m = 100 Square meter

Therefore A1 is maximum and A2 is minimum.

2- Calculate pressure:

P = F/ A1 = 30 / 200 = 0.15 Nm⁻² ( minimum pressure)

P = F / A2 = 30 / 50 = 0.6 Nm⁻² ( maximum pressure)

Hence greater the area less will be the pressure and vice versa.

Choose the correct statement regarding projectile motion in the absence of air resistance. Assume the object is at sea level mov

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Explanation:

The magnitude of the acceleration in the x direction is always zero: TRUE.

At the apex, in the y direction the velocity is zero and the accelration is positive. TRUE.

At the apex, in the x direction, the velocity is zero and the acceleration is zero. FALSE. The accelration is zero, but the velocity is the same it had when it was shot.

The magnitude of the velocity in the y direction is always constant. FALSE, it's subject to gravity and it's velocity varies as $v=v_0 - 9.81ms^{-2} t$

At the apex, in the Y direction, the velocity is negative and the acceleration is zero. FALSE. Velocity is zero, Acceleration is $9.81 ms^{-2}$ , towards the negative y axis

An astronaut is out in space with an extremely precise timing device measuring the speed of various fast‑moving objects. A laser

Leviafan [203]

Answer and Explanation:

with reference to Einstein's theory of special relativity, the speed of an electromagnetic radiation, here, laser will not change in any inertial frame or remains same irrespective of any change in inertial frame.

Therefore, the speed of light measured in both the cases, i.e., in astronaut's reference frame and spaceship's reference frame will be equal to the speed of light in vacuum, i.e., $3\times 10^{8} m/s$ .

The laser gun's speed in astronaut's reference frame is the same as the speed of the spaceship as it mounted on it, i.e., the speed of the laser gun is 200 million m/s.

The laser gun's speed measured in spaceship's reference frame will be zero, as it is mounted on the spaceship and is stationary in the spaceship's reference frame.

A 4.6 g lead bullet moving at 278 m/s strikes a steel plate and stops. If all its kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

ΔT = 302 °c

Explanation:

mass (m) = 4.6 g = 0.0046 kg

velocity (v) = 278 m/s

specific heat of lead (c) = 128 J/kg. °c

kinetic energy = 0.5 mx $v^{2}$

kinetic energy = 0.5 x 0.0046 x $278^{2}$

kinetic energy = 177.8 J

since all the kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy,

kinetic energy = thermal energy (E) = 177.8 J

thermal energy = m x c x ΔT

where ΔT is the temperature change

177.8 = 0.0046 x 128 x ΔT

ΔT = 177.8 / 0.59

ΔT = 302 °c

N2 + 3H2 mc033-1.jpg 2NH3

Svetradugi [14.3K]

N2+3H2->2NH3

When 3 moles of H2 react, they produce 2 moles of NH3

3 moles of H2 have a mass of 2.02 g

2 moles of NH2 have a mass of 17.0 g

So when 2.02 g H2 react, they produce 17.0 g NH3

If 26.3g H2 react with a yield of 100%, we expect…

2.02g H2_____17.0gNH3

26.3g H2_____x=221gNH3

So now let’s calculate the percentage:

221gNH3_________100%

79.0gNH3_________x=79.0*100/221=35.7%
