<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

Give at least one fact about subatomic particles
victus00 [196]

Answer:

- Particles smaller than atoms are called subatomic particles .

- There are three famous subatomic particles, proton, neutron and electron .

- The study of sub atomic particles are called particle physics

- These particles can be divided as Brayons and Leptons

- These particles are often held together by one of the four fundamental particles ( Weak force, strong force, electromagnetic force, gravitational force).

A fish can travel 30km/h in still water. How long will it take to arrive 12km downstream in a river flowing 6km/h?
kodGreya [7K]
30 + 6 = 36

36/12 = 3



So, it would take it 3 hours to go 12 kms downstream.



Note that we added 30 and 6 because it was going downstream. If it was going upstream, then we would have had to subtract.

The gamma ray released by each decay carries 140kev of energy. find the total energy e released by decays in the 2 hours.
olya-2409 [2.1K]
First, we would need to know the decaying isotope.
Next, we use the decay formula
A = Ao e^(-kt)
After determining the remaining amount after two hours, the decay reaction can be used to determine the number of gamma rays released. If the given is in terms of mole, then the total energy is
E = 140n KeV where n is the number of moles of gamma rays released

A cart's initial velocity is +3.0 meters per second. What is its final velocity after accelerating at a rate of 1.5 m/s2 for 8.0
Katarina [22]

Answer:

V = 15m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity = 3m/s

Time = 8secs

Acceleration = 1.5m/s²

To find the final velocity, we would use the first equation of motion;

V = U + at

Substituting into the equation, we have

V = 3 + 1.5*8

V = 3 + 12

V = 15m/s
