Answer:

I'm not sure if they're right but...

1. It would erode because of the water

2. It would probably become a home for the ocean creatures

a small table has a mass of 4kg, stands on four legs, each leg having an area of 0.001 m2. what is the pressure exerted by the t

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

P = 10 kPa

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a small table, m = 4 kg

The area of each leg = 0.001 m²

We need to find the pressure exerted by the table on the floor. Pressure is equal to the force per unit area. So

$P=\dfrac{mg}{4\times A}\\\\P=\dfrac{4\times 10}{4\times 0.001}\\P=10000\ Pa\\\\or\\\\P=10\ kPa$

So, the required pressure is 10 kPa.

A bicyclist, initially at rest, begins pedaling and gaining speed steadily for 4.90s during which she covers 25.0m.

emmasim [6.3K]

The bicyclist accelerates with magnitude a such that

25.0 m = 1/2 a (4.90 s)²

Solve for a :

a = (25.0 m) / (1/2 (4.90 s)²) ≈ 2.08 m/s²

Then her final speed is v such that

v ² - 0² = 2a (25.0 m)

Solve for v :

v = √(2 (2.08 m/s²) / (25.0 m)) ≈ 10.2 m/s

Convert to mph. If you know that 1 m ≈ 3.28 ft, then

(10.2 m/s) • (3.28 ft/m) • (1/5280 mi/ft) • (3600 s/h) ≈ 22.8 mi/h

You hang a heavy ball with a mass of 10 kg from a gold wire 2.6 m long that is 1.6 mm in diameter. You measure the stretch of th

PolarNik [594]

Answer: The Young's modulus for the wire is $6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2$

Explanation:

Young's Modulus is defined as the ratio of stress acting on a substance to the amount of strain produced.

The equation representing Young's Modulus is:

$Y=\frac{F/A}{\Delta l/l}=\frac{Fl}{A\Delta l}$

where,

Y = Young's Modulus

F = force exerted by the weight = $m\times g$

m = mass of the ball = 10 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = $9.81m/s^2$

l = length of wire = 2.6 m

A = area of cross section = $\pi r^2$

r = radius of the wire = $\frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.6mm}{2}=0.8mm=8\times 10^{-4}m$ (Conversion factor: 1 m = 1000 mm)

$\Delta l$ = change in length = 1.99 mm = $1.99\times 10^{-3}m$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$Y=\frac{10\times 9.81\times 2.6}{(3.14\times (8\times 10^{-4})^2)\times 1.99\times 10^{-3}}\\\\Y=6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2$

Hence, the Young's modulus for the wire is $6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2$

Jin knows that the initial internal energy of a closed system is 78 J and the final internal energy is 180 J. He also knows that

lawyer [7]

As we know by the first law of thermodynamics

$Q = \Delta U + W$

here we know that

Q = heat given to the system

$\Delta U = U_f - U_i$

W = work done by the system

now here we can say

$\Delta U = 180 - 78 = 102 J$

$W = 64 J$

now we can say that heat will be given as

$Q = 64 + 102 = 166 J$

now here we can say that Jin does the error in his first step while calculation of change in internal energy as he had to subtract it while he added the two energy

So best describe Jin's Error is

B )For step 1, he should have subtracted 78 J from 180 J to find the change in internal energy.

A bus travels 280 km south along a straight path with an average velocity of 88 km/h to the south. The bus stops for 24 min, the

IgorC [24]

Answer:

76.78 km/h To calculate the average velocity for the total trip, you need to first determine the total distance traveled and the total time taken. First, let's calculate the total distance traveled. The trip consists of 2 legs. The 1st leg is 280 km and the 2nd leg is 210 km. So the total distance is 280 km + 210 km = 490 km. Now you need to calculate the total time taken. For this problem, there are 3 intervals that need to be accounted for. The travel time for the 1st leg, the duration of the rest stop in the middle, and the travel time for the 2nd leg. The travel time for both legs is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the average speed. So for the first leg we have 280 km / (88 km / h) = 3.181818 h The 2nd leg is 210 km / (75 km/h) = 2.8 h The rest stop in hours is 24 min / (60 min/h) = 0.4 h The total time is 3.181818 h + 2.8 h + 0.4 h = 6.381818 h The average velocity is the distance divided by the time, giving: 490 km / (6.381818 h) = 76.78 km/h

Hope this helps!!
