<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B. 3.43 kPa

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Pressure is given by the formula;

Pressure = Force / Area

Force is the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity. 

 Thus;  Force = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Substituting;

               Force = (350 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

               Force = 3430 N

Then, using the first equation;

                Pressure = 3430 N / 1m² or Pa

<h3>                             <u>= 3.43 kPa</u></h3>

The dimensions of aluminum foil in a box for sale in super markets are 66 2/3 yards by 12 inches. the mass of the foil is 0.83 k
disa [49]

Length of the sheet is given as

L = \frac{200}{3} yards = 6096 cm

width of the sheet is given as

w = 12 inches = 30.48 cm

now let say its thickness is "t"

so the volume of the sheet is given as

V = L*w*t

V = 6096*30.48* t

V = 185806.08*t cm^3

mass of the sheet is given as

m = 0.83 kg = 830 gram

now we have

density = \frac{mass}{volume}

2.70 = \frac{830}{185806.08*t}

by solving above we have

t = 1.65 * 10^{-3} cm

so the thickness of sheet will be above

jeka94
The whistle you use to call has a frequency of 21 kHz, so you do not recognize it also because your threshold of hearing is only 20 kHz. Since you are unable to hear sounds above this value, you request your friend to blow the whistle and move farther away. The frequency will decrease due to Doppler effect.
