Answer:

Explanation:

Force of brick = 10 N

Area of surface = 20 cm^2

Pressure = force / area

∴ Pressure = 10 / 20

= 1 / 2 or 0.5 Pa

Answer: 5000

Explanation: pressure: force / area

SI unit of force: newton

SI unit of area: metre²

Force exerted: 10 N

Area on which it is exerted : 20 cm²

Since area has to be in m² , we convert cm² to m² by dividing it by 10000( m:100cm, 1m²: 10000 cm²)

Area=20/10000: 0.002 m²

So, pressure= 10/0.002=5000 pa( SI unit of pressure is pascal)

A car is driving 8.5 m/s, and speeds up to 11.8 m/s over a period of 4 seconds. What is its acceleration?
Blizzard [7]

Its acceleration will be 0.825 m/s²

What is Acceleration ?

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. It is measured in m/s²

Given that a car is driving 8.5 m/s, and speeds up to 11.8 m/s over a period of 4 seconds.

The parameters to consider are;

  • Initial velocity u = 8.5 m/s
  • Final velocity v = 11.8 m/s
  • Time t = 4s
  • Acceleration a = ?

a = Δv ÷ t

a = (v - u) / t

a = (11.8 - 8.5) / 4

a = 3.3 / 4

a = 0.825 m/s²

Therefore, its acceleration will be 0.825 m/s²

Answer:

A. alternating current

Explanation:

An alternating current is that which changes polarity in a periodic manner. It is generated when a conductor cuts or breaks magnetic field lines in such  a way that it periodically alternates or switches its direction of motion or position between the north and south poles of the magnetic field.

The switching of the direction of motion makes the polarity of the induced current to change in a manner that corresponds to the motion of the conductor. This is what generates an alternation current (a.c)
