How is pressure related to force and surface area

1 answer:

7 0

Pressure is Force per Unit Area.Pressure is the force on an object that is spread over a surface area. The equation for pressure is the forcedivided by the area where the force is applied.

A 4.0 kg ball is traveling at 3.0 m/s and strikes a wall. The ball bounces off the wall with a velocity of 4.0 m/s in the opposi

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

280 N

Explanation:

Applying Newton's third second law of motion,

F = m(v-u)/t................... Equation 1

Where F = Magnitude of the average force on the ball during contact, v = final velocity of the ball, u = initial velocity of the ball, t = time of contact of the ball and the wall.

Note: Let the direction of the initial velocity of the ball be positive

Given: m = 4 kg, u = 3.0 m/s, v = -4.0 m/s (bounce off), t = 0.1 s

Substitute into equation 1

F = 4(-4-3)/0.1

F = 4(-7)/0.1

F = -28/0.1

F = -280 N.

Note: The negative sign tells that the force on the ball act in opposite direction to the initial motion of the ball

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The amount of heat transfer is 21,000J .

Explanation:

The equation form of thermodynamics is,

ΔQ=ΔU+W

Here, ΔQ is the heat transferred, ΔU is the change in internal energy, and W is the work done.

Substitute 0 J for W and 0 J for ΔU

ΔQ = 0J+0J

ΔQ = 0J

The change in internal energy is equal to zero because the temperature changes of the house didn’t change. The work done is zero because the volume did not change

The heat transfer is,

ΔQ=Q (in ) −Q (out )

Substitute 19000 J + 2000 J for Q(in) and 0 J for Q(out)

ΔQ=(19000J+2000J)−(0J)

=21,000J

Thus, the amount of heat transfer is 21,000J .

An electron is released from rest at a distance of 6.00 cm from a proton. If the proton is held in place, how fast will the elec

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

91.87 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

x = initial distance of the electron from the proton = 6 cm = 0.06 m

y = initial distance of the electron from the proton = 3 cm = 0.03 m
u = initial velocity of the electron = 0 m/s

Assume:

m = mass of an electron = $9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg$
v = final velocity of the electron
e = magnitude of charge on an electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

p = magnitude of charge on a proton = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

We know that only only electric field due to proton causes to move from a distance of 6 cm from proton to 3 cm distance from it. This means the electric force force does work on the electron to move it from one initial position to the final position which is equal to the change in potential energy of the electron due to proton.

Now, according to the work-energy theorem, the total work done by the electric force on the electron due to proton is equal to the kinetic energy change in it.

$\therefore \textrm{Kinetic energy change}= \textrm{Change in potential energy}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)= \dfrac{kpe}{y}-\dfrac{kpe}{x}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-(0)^2)= \dfrac{kpe}{0.03}-\dfrac{kpe}{0.06}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2= \dfrac{100kpe}{3}-\dfrac{100kpe}{6}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2= \dfrac{100kpe}{6}\\$

$\Rightarrow v^2= \dfrac{100kpe\times 2}{6m}\\\Rightarrow v^2= \dfrac{100kpe}{3m}\\\Rightarrow v^2= \dfrac{100\times 9\times 10^9\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{3\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}}\\\Rightarrow v^2=8.44\times 10^3\\\Rightarrow v=91.87\ m/s\\$
