<span>Pressure = force / area</span>

I assume that 350kg is the mass 
Therefore, 

350 x 9.8 (gravity) = 3430N

3430 / 1 = 3430Pa

3.43 KPa

Answer:

3.43 kPa

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as the ratio between the force applied and the area of the surface on which the force is applied:

p=\frac{F}{A}

in this problem, the force corresponds to the weight of the load, which is given by the product between its mass (350 kg) and the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2):

F=mg=(350 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=3430 N

And since the area on which this force is applied is A=1 m^2, the pressure exerted on the upper surface of the liquid is

p=\frac{F}{A}=\frac{3430 N}{1 m^2}=3430 Pa = 3.43 kPa

An electron is in motion at 4.0 × 106 m/s horizontally when it enters a region of space between two parallel plates, as shown, s
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

xmax = 9.5cm

Explanation:

In this case, the trajectory described by the electron, when it enters in the region between the parallel plates, is a semi parabolic trajectory.

In order to find the horizontal distance traveled by the electron you first calculate the vertical acceleration of the electron.

You use the Newton second law and the electric force on the electron:

F_e=qE=ma             (1)

q: charge of the electron = 1.6*10^-19 C

m: mass of the electron = 9.1*10-31 kg

E: magnitude of the electric field = 4.0*10^2N/C

You solve the equation (1) for a:

a=\frac{qE}{m}=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(4.0*10^2N/C)}{9.1*10^{-31}kg}=7.03*10^{13}\frac{m}{s^2}

Next, you use the following formula for the maximum horizontal distance reached by an object, with semi parabolic motion at a height of d:

x_{max}=v_o\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}             (2)

Here, the height d is the distance between the plates d = 2.0cm = 0.02m

vo: initial velocity of the electron = 4.0*10^6m/s

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

x_{max}=(4.0*10^6m/s)\sqrt{\frac{2(0.02m)}{7.03*10^{13}m/s^2}}\\\\x_{max}=0.095m=9.5cm

The horizontal distance traveled by the electron is 9.5cm
