The correct answer is D: Watt. This unit was named after James Watt, and is used to express the equivalent of one joule per second in energy. In experiments and on the packaging for electrical products such as light-bulbs, the measurement will usually be written in its abbreviated format: W.

As a woman walks, her entire weight is momentarily placed on one heel of her high-heeled shoes. Calculate the pressure exerted o
STatiana [176]

Answer:

3335400 N/m² or 483.75889 lb/in²

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

A = Area = 1.5 cm²

m = Mass of woman = 51 kg

F = Force = mg

When we divide force by area we get pressure

P=\frac{F}{A}\\\Rightarrow P=\frac{mg}{A}\\\Rightarrow P=\frac{51\times 9.81}{1.5\times 10^{-4}}\\\Rightarrow P=3335400\ N/m^2

1\ N/m^2=\frac{1}{6894.757}\ lb/in^2

3335400\ N/m^2=3335400\times \frac{1}{6894.757}\ lb/in^2=483.75889\ lb/in^2

The pressure exerted on the floor is 3335400 N/m² or 483.75889 lb/in²

3 cases where kinetic energy become potential energy
finlep [7]
--  Toss a rock straight up.  The kinetic energy you give it
with your hand becomes potential energy as it rises. 
Eventually, when its kinetic energy is completely changed
to potential energy, it stops rising.

--  When you're riding your bike and going really fast, you come
to the bottom of a hill.  You stop pedaling, and coast up the hill.
As your kinetic energy changes to potential energy, you coast
slower and slower.  Eventually, your energy is all potential, and
you stop coasting.

--  A little kid on a swing at the park.  The swing is going really fast
at the bottom of the arc, and then it starts rising.  As it rises, the
kinetic energy changes into potential energy, more and more as it
swings higher and higher.  Eventually it reaches a point where its
energy is all potential; then it stops rising, and begins falling again.

While moving a box 10.0 m across the floor, Sam pushes with a force of 150 N to the right. The force friction acting on the box
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:required formula is

W 1=F*S

W1=work done by Sam =?

F=force applied by sam=150N

S=displacement =10m

again

W2=F*S

W2=work done by friction =?

S=displacement =10m

F=friction =25N

W=W1-W2=net work done

please feel free to ask if you have any questions

A passenger jet travels from Los angles to Bombay, India, in 22 h. The return flight takes 17 h. The difference in flight times
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

70.5 mph

Explanation:

A passenger jet travels from Los Angeles to Bombay, India, in 22h.

The return flight takes 17 h.

The difference in flight times is caused by winds over the Pacific Ocean that

blow primarily from west to east.

If the jet's average speed in still air is 550 mi/h what is the average speed

of the wind during the round trip flight? Round to the nearest mile per hour.

Is your answer reasonable?

:

Let w = speed of the wind

:

Write a distance equation (dist is the same both ways

17(550+w) = 22(550-w)

9350 + 17w = 12100 - 22w

17w + 22w = 12100 - 9350

39w = 2750

W = 2750/39

w = 70.5 mph seems very reasonable

:

Confirming if the solution by finding the distances using these value

17(550+70.5) = 10549 mi

22(550-70.5) = 10549 mi; confirms our solution of w = 70.5 mph
