A girl weighing 50 kgf wears sandals of pencil heel of area of cross section 1 cm^2, stands on the floor.An elephant weighing 20
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

\boxed{{\boxed{\blue{ 12.5}}}}

Explanation:

Given, for girl : Weight or force;

\rm \: F_1 = 50 \: kgf

Area of both heels;

\rm \: A_1 =  \; 2 ×1 \;  cm^2 = 2  \: cm^2

\rm \: Pressure \:  P_1  =  \cfrac{F_1}{ A_1 }  =  \dfrac{50 \: kgf}{2 \: cm {}^{2} }  = 25 \: kgf \: cm {}^{ - 1}

For elephant, Weight = Force \rm F_2 = 2000 kg•f

Area of 4 feet;

\rm \: A_2  = \; 4 \times 250 \;  cm^2 = 1000 \:  cm^2

\rm \: Pressure \:  P_2 = {F_2}/{A_2} \;  = \cfrac{2 \cancel{0 00 }\:  kgf}{1 \cancel{000} \: cm^2} =  2 \: kgf \: { \:cm}^{- 1}

Now;

\rm  = \dfrac{Pressure \:  Exerted  \: by  \: the \:  Girl}{Pressure  \: exerted  \: by \:  the  \: elephant}

=  \rm \: P_1/P_2

\implies    \rm\cfrac{25 \: kgf \: \: cm {}^{ - 2} }{2 \: kgf \: cm {}^{ - 2} } =  \rm\cfrac{25 \:  \cancel{kgf \: \: cm {}^{ - 2}} }{2 \: \cancel{ kgf \: cm {}^{ - 2}} } = \boxed{12.5}

Thus, the girl's pointed heel sandals exert 12.5 times more pressure P than the pressure P exerted by the elephant.

I aspire this helps!

A 1000 kg weather rocket is launched straight up. The rocket motor provides a constant acceleration for 16 s, then the motor sto
Fed [463]

Answer:

a)   a = 34.375 m / s²,  b)    v_f = 550 m / s

Explanation:

This problem is the launch of projectiles, they tell us to ignore the effect of the friction force.

a) Let's start with the final part of the movement, which is carried out from t= 16 s with constant speed

             v_f = \frac{x-x_1}{t}

we substitute the values

             v_f = \frac{ 6600 -x_1}{4}  

The initial part of the movement is carried out with acceleration

             v_f = v₀ + a t

             x₁ = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ a t²

the rocket starts from rest v₀ = 0 with an initial height x₀ = 0

             x₁ = ½ a t²

             v_f = a t

we substitute the values

              x₁ = 1/2  a 16²

              x₁ = 128 a

              v_f = 16 a

let's write our system of equations  

               v_f = \frac{6600 - x_1}{4}

               x₁ = 128 a

               v_f = 16 a

we substitute in the first equation  

               16 a = \frac{6600 -128 a}{4}

               16 4 a = 6600 - 128 a

                a (64 + 128) = 6600

                a = 6600/192

                 a = 34.375 m / s²

b) let's find the time to reach this height

                x = ½ to t²

                t² = 2y / a

                t² = 2 5100 / 34.375

                t² = 296.72

                t = 17.2 s

We can see that for this time the acceleration is zero, so the rocket is in the constant velocity part

               v_f = 16 a

               v_f = 16 34.375

               v_f = 550 m / s

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

In 0.5 seconds.

Explanation:

The time would be the same because it only depends on the height and the vertical component of the initial velocity. This is of course because each direction must be treated independently. Since between both cases only the horizontal speed changes, the height is the same and the vertical component of the initial velocity is null for both, the time to fall is the same.
