The weight of a person is 500N and his foot imprint area is 0.5m^2.Calculate the total pressure exerted by person when he stands
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Pressure on both feet will be 500N/m^2  

Explanation:

Weight of the person F = 500 N

Area of foot print A=0.5m^2

Area of both the foot A=2\times 0.5=1m^2

We have to find pressure on both the feet

Pressure is equal to ratio of force and area

So pressure P=\frac{F}{A}

P=\frac{500}{1}=500N/m^2

So the pressure on both feet will be 500N/m^2 when person stands on both feet.

what happens to a circuits resistance, voltage, and current when you increase the diameter of the wire in the circuit?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Option D.

Resistance (R) decreases

Voltage (V) is constant

Current (I) increases

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing an equation relating resistance and diameter of a wire. This is given below:

R = ρL/A ......... (1)

A = πr² (since the wire is circular in shape)

r = d/2

A = πr² = π(d/2)²

A = πd²/4

Substitute the value of A into equation 1

R = ρL/A

R = ρL ÷ A

R = ρL ÷ πd²/4

R = ρL × 4/πd²

R = 4ρL /πd²

Where:

R is the resistance of the wire.

ρ is the resistivity of the wire.

L is the length of the wire.

A is the cross sectional area of the wire.

r is the radius.

d is the diameter of the wire

From equation (1) above, we can say that the resistance (R) is inversely proportional to the square of the diameter of the wire. This implies that an increase in the diameter of the wire will result in a decrease of the resistance. Also, a decrease in the diameter of the wire will result in an increase in the resistance of the wire.

1. Since the diameter of the wire is increase, therefore, the resistance of the wire will decrease.

2. From ohm's law,

V = IR

Divide both side by I

R = V/I

Where:

R is the resistance

V is the voltage

I is the current

From the above equation, the resistance (R) is directly proportional to the voltage (V) and inversely proportional to the current (I).

If we keep the voltage constant, this means that an increase in the resistance will lead to a decrease in the current. Also, a decrease in the resistance will lead to an increase in the current.

Since the resistance of the wire decrease, the current will increase.

From the illustrations made above, an increase in the diameter of the wire will lead to:

1. Decrease in resistance.

2. Voltage is constant.

3. Increase in current.

Identifying What are five things
g100num [7]

Answer:

1. Naturally occuring

2. Solid

3. Inorganic

4. Crystalline

5. Specific Chemical Compostion

Explanation:

Minerals are inorganic, crystalline solids that occur during biogeochemical processes in nature like in cooled lava or evaporated sea water. Minerals are not rocks, but are actually the components that make up rocks. Though they vary in color and shape, each mineral has a distinct chemical composition.

1. Minerals are formed by natural geological processes. Most minerals form from molten lava, sea evaporation or hot liquids in caves or cracks. Laboratory-generated minerals like synthetic gems made for commercial purposes are not considered actual minerals.

2. Though minerals vary in shape, color, luster (the way a mineral reflects light) and hardness, all minerals are a solid at a given temperature. If a substance is not in its solid state, it is not currently a mineral. For example, ice is a mineral, but liquid water is not. The Mohr scale, rates a minerals hardness from one to 10, 10 being the hardest. Diamond is the hardest mineral. Talc is a very soft mineral with a Mohr rating of one.

3. Minerals are wholly inanimate, inorganic compounds. But there are exceptions to this qualifier. There are rare organic substances with definitive chemical compositions that are labeled as “organic minerals." The most famous of this oxymoronic exception is whewellite. Whewellite is a component of kidney stones and coal deposits.

4. Most minerals will grow into a crystal shape, space permitting. Mineral deposits are often small because there is usually a variety of minerals in the same vicinity competing for the same room to grow. A mineral’s crystalline structure determines its hardness, cleavage (how it breaks) and color. There are six different crystal shapes: cubic, tetragonal, orthohombic, hexagonal, monoclinic and triclinic.

5. A mineral is defined by its chemical composition. A rock, on the other hand, does not have a specific chemical composition because it is a composite of a variety of minerals. Minerals are classified based on their anionic group. The major mineral groups are native elements, sulfides, sulfosalts, oxides and hydroxides, halides, carbonates, nitrates, borates, sulfates, phosphates and silicates. Silica is abundant in the Earth’s crust, so silicates are the most common group of mineral.

A 7 kg ball is moving at a constant speed of 5 m/s. A force of 300 N is applied to the ball for 4 s. The new speed of the ball i
olasank [31]

Answer:

The new speed of the ball is 176.43 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the ball, m = 7 kg

initial speed of the ball, u = 5 m/s

applied force, F = 300 N

time of force action on the ball, t = 4 s

Apply Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma = \frac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\\m(v-u) = Ft\\\\v-u = \frac{Ft}{m}\\\\v =  \frac{Ft}{m} + u

where;

v is new speed of the ball

v =  \frac{Ft}{m} + u\\\\v =\frac{300*4}{7} + 5\\\\v = 176.43 \ m/s

Therefore, the new speed of the ball is 176.43 m/s

H20 (water) is an example of a __, as it is made up of two elements.
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Compound.

Explanation:

A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements are chemically joined. Water, salt, and sugar are examples of compounds. When the elements are joined, the atoms lose their individual properties and have different properties from the elements they are composed of.
