a 645 N person is wearing stiletto shoes. If she lifts her left leg, and rocks back onto the heel under her right leg, the press

ure the heel exerts on the floor is 9000000 PA. what is the diameter of the circular base of the heel in centimeters?

Answer:

0.96cm

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of person = 645N

Pressure of the heel = 9000000PA

Unknown

Diameter of the circular base = ?

Solution

Pressure is the force per unit area of a body.

  Pressure = \frac{Force}{Area}

To solve this problem, find the unknown area of the circle;

             Pressure x Area = Force

         Area     = \frac{Force}{Pressure}

           Area  = \frac{645}{9000000} = 7.17 x 10⁻⁵m²

Note: 1Pa = 1Nm⁻²

Now;

  Area of a circle = π r²

         r = \frac{d}{2}

    Area =  π x \frac{d^{2} }{4}

d is the diameter

                    d²  = 4 x Area  x (1/π)

                d² = 4 x 7.17 x 10⁻⁵ x  (1/3.14) = 9.13 x 10⁻⁵

              d = 0.0096m

To cm;

                100cm = 1m

   0.0096m; 0.0096 x 100=  0.96cm

Describe the quantum mechanical model of the atom and several observations which support this model.
PIT_PIT [208]

This means that we shouldn't imagine electrons as single objects going around the atom. Instead, all we know is the probability of finding an electron at a particular location. What we end up with is something called an electron cloud. An electron cloud is an area of space in which an electron is likely to be found. It's like a 3-D graph showing the probability of finding the electron at each location in space. Quantum mechanics also tells us that a particle has certain numbers (called quantum numbers) that represent its properties. Just like how materials can be hard or soft, shiny or dull, particles have numbers to describe the properties. These include a particle's orbital quantum numbers, magnetic quantum number, and its spin. No two electrons in an atom can have exactly the same quantum numbers. Orbital quantum numbers tell you what energy level the electron is in. In the Bohr model, this represents how high the orbit is above the nucleus; higher orbits have more energy. The first orbit is n=1, the second is n=2, and so on. The magnetic quantum number is just a number that represents which direction the electron is pointing. The other important quantum mechanical property, called spin, is related to the fact that electrons come in pairs. In each pair, one electron spins one way (with a spin of one half), and the other electron spins the other way (with a spin of negative one half). Two electrons with the same spin cannot exist as a pair. This might seem kind of random, but it has effects in terms of how magnetic material is. Materials that have unpaired electrons are more likely to be magnetic

Preston tossed a red ball upward and it reaches a maximum height of 3.0. What is the final velocity when it returns to prestons
Leokris [45]
That will depend on the units of the 3.0. We need to know if it's 3 feet, 3 yards, 3 meters, or 3 miles. Each one will have a different answer.

Which statement about van der Waals forces is true?
kobusy [5.1K]
The answer is A. When the forces are weaker, they will not be able to hold the particles of the substances together; therefore, the substance will be observed as being volatile.

A quarterback throws a football toward a receiver with an initial speed of 20 m/s at an angle of 30∘ above the horizontal. At th
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

a) In order to catch the ball at the level at which it is thrown in the direction of motion.

b)Speed of the receiver will be 7.52m/s

Explanation:

Calculating range,R= Vo^2Sin2theta/g

R= (20^2×Sin(2×30)/9.8 = 35.35m

Let receiver be(R-20) = 35.35-20= 15.35m

The horizontal component of the ball is:

Vox= Vocostheta= 20× cos30°

Vox= 17.32m/s

Time taken to coverR=35.35m with 17.32m/s will be:

t=R/Vox= 35.35/17.32

t= 2.04seconds

b)Speed required to cover 15.35m at 2.04seconds

Vxreciever= d/t = 15.35/2.04 = 7.52m/s
