how much force (in N) is exerted on one side of an 16.2 cm by 22.9 cm sheet of paper by the atmosphere

1 answer:

6 0

<span>The 16.2cm by 22.9cm paper has an area = 370.98 square cm = 0.037098 square meters. And the atmospheric pressure at sea level is 101,325 Newtons per square meter. So if multiply the quantities: 101,325 N/m^2 and 0.037098 m^2 we get an answer of 3758.95 N. * If we respect the fact that 22.9cm and 16.2 cm only have three significant digits then our answer would be 3760N.</span>

Answer:

According to Newton's 2nd law

The force acting on a body produces acceleration in its direction which is directly propotional to the force but inversly propotinal to the mass of tbe body.

Explanation:

a = F/m

F = ma

Where( F) is force (m) is mass and (a) is acceleration.

Answer:

T = 188.5 s, correct is C

Explanation:

This problem must be worked on using conservation of angular momentum. We define the system as formed by the fan and the paper, as the system is isolated, the moment is conserved

initial instant. Before the crash

L₀ = r m v₀ + I₀ w₀

the angular speed of the fan is zero w₀ = 0

final instant. After the crash

L_f = I₀ w + m r v

L₀ = L_f

m r v₀ = I₀ w + m r v

angular and linear velocity are related

v = r w

w = v / r

m r v₀ = I₀ v / r + m r v

m r v₀ = (I₀ / r + mr) v
