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

When a driver presses the brake pedal, his car can stop with an acceleration of -5.4m/s^2. How far will the car travel while com
Dahasolnce [82]
Information that is given:
a = -5.4m/s^2
v0 = 25 m/s
---------------------
S = ?
Calculate the S(distance car traveled) with the formula for velocity of decelerated motion:
v^2 = v0^2 - 2aS
The velocity at the end of the motion equals zero (0) because the car stops, so v=0.
0 = v0^2 - 2aS
v0^2 = 2aS
S = v0^2/2a
S = (25 m/s)^2/(2×5.4 m/s^2)
S = (25 m/s)^2/(10.8 m/s^2)
S = (625 m^2/s^2)/(10.8 m/s^2)
S = 57.87 m

The speed of sound in air is 345 m/s. A tuning fork vibrates above the open end of a sound resonance tube. If sound waves have w
Delvig [45]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concept of Frequency based on speed and wavelength.

According to the definition the frequency can be expressed as

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

Where,

v = Velocity

\lambda = Wavelength

Our value are given by,

v = 345m/s

\lambda = 63cm

Replacing

f = \frac{345}{0.63}

f = 547.61Hz

Therefore the frequency of the tuning fork is 547.61Hz

a 10 kilogram steel ball is dropped from the top of a tower 100 meters high the kinetic energy of the ball just before it sttike
EleoNora [17]

Explanation:

If we assume negligible air resistance and heat loss, we can assume that all of the Gravitational potential energy of the ball will turn into Kinetic energy as it falls toward the ground.

Therefore our Kinetic energy = mgh = (10kg)(9.81N/kg)(100m) = 9,810J.

A camcorder has a power rating of 16 watts. If the output voltage from its battery is 7 volts, what current does it use?
GenaCL600 [577]

Power= current*voltage or P=IV

so 16 watts=I*7 volts

divide on both sides to isolate I so you get

I= 16/7 which is about 2.3 amps
