0.04m²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure = 250000Pa

Weight = 40000N

Unknown:

Area of each foot = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force exerted per unit area of a body

  Pressure = \frac{force}{area}

To find the area;

        Area = \frac{force }{pressure}

    Area = \frac{40000}{250000} = 0.16m²

The force exerted by all the four feet is 0.16m²

the area of each feet = \frac{0.16}{4} = 0.04m²

An arrow of mass 20 g is shot horizontally into a bale of hay, striking the hay with a velocity of 60 m/s. It penetrates a depth
goblinko [34]

From the question, The kinetic energy of the fired arrow is equal to the work done by the bale of hale in stopping the arrow.

We make use of the following formula

mv²/2 = F'd................... Equation 1

Where

  • m = mass of the arrow
  • v = velocity of the arrow
  • F' = average stopping force acting on the arrow
  • d = distance of penetration

Make F' the subject of the equation

F' = mv²/2d.................. Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • m = 20 g = 0.02 kg
  • v = 60 m/s
  • d = 40 cm = 0.4 m

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • F' = 0.02(60²)/(0.4×2)
  • F' = 72/0.8
  • F' = 90 N

Hence, The average stopping force acting on the arrow is 90 N

A private aviation helicopter's main rotor blades rotate at approximately
Arisa [49]

Answer: 7.5 rev/s

Explanation:

We are given the angular velocity \omega a helicopter's main rotor blades:

\omega=450 rpm=450 \frac{rev}{min}

However, we are asked to express this \omega in the International Systrm (SI) units. In this sense, the SI unit for time is second (s):

\omega=450 \frac{rev}{min} \frac{1 min}{60 s}

\omega=7.5 \frac{rev}{s}

Eric drops a 2.20 kg water balloon that falls a distance of 45.08 m off the top of a
Marianna [84]

Answer:

972 J

Explanation:

At the bottom, all the gravitational potential energy was converted into kinetic energy. If you calculate the GPE, its value will be the same that the KE at the bottom. The GPE can be calculated this way:

GPE = mass×gravity×heigth

GPE = 2.2×9.8×45.08 ≈ 972

While playing a scavenger hunt game, Anthony walks 48.0 m to the south and then walks 12.0 m to the west. What single straight-l
Alenkasestr [34]
As these are distances created by moving in a straight line, using a trigonometric analysis can solve the missing single straight-line displacement. Looking at the 48m and 12m movements as legs of a triangle, obtaining the hypotenuse using the pythagorean theorem will yield us the correct answer.
This is shown below:

c^2 = 48^2 + 12^2
c = sqrt(2304 + 144)
c = sqrt(2448)
c = 49.48 m

To obtain the angle at which Anthony walks 49.48, we obtain the arc tangent of (12/48). This is shown below:

arc tan (12/48) =14.04 degrees.

Therefore, Anthony could have walked 49.48 m towards the S 14.04 W direction.
