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

In the bedroom of your house you would like to run a 240 W toward, a 30 W alarm clock, a 720 W tanning bed, and four 60 W lights
erica [24]

Answer: current = 10.25A

Explanation:

Toward = 240w

Alarm clock = 30w

Tanning bed = 720w

4 60 watts bulb = 60 * 4 = 240w

Total power = 240 + 30 + 720 + 240 = 1230w

Voltage = 120v

Recall that Power = current * voltage

1230 = current * 120

current = 1230/120 = 10.25A

Incident rays parallel to the axis of a concave mirror reflect parallel to the axis.
coldgirl [10]
No they don't.  Incident rays parallel to the axis of a concave mirror
reflect from the mirror's surface and converge at its focal point.

What represents the impulse of the force in a graph of force versus time?
vovikov84 [41]
In the graph of the force vs the time:
Force is the gradient of the momentum versus the time.

If we get the area under the curve in this graph:
it will be calculated as : force * time
which gives the change in momentum or the impulse.

Therefore, the area under the curve <span>represents the impulse of the force in a graph of force versus time</span>

A 1300-kg car moving on a horizontal surface has speed v = 60 km/h when it strikes a horizontal coiled spring and is brought to
slega [8]

The stiffness constant of the spring is 68,290.3 N/m

<h3> Stiffness constant of the spring</h3>

Apply the principle of conservation of energy;

U = K.E

¹/₂kx² = ¹/₂mv²

kx² = mv²

k = mv²/x²

where;

  • m is mass
  • v is speed = 60 km/h = 16.67 m/s
  • x is the distance

k = (1300 x 16.67²)/(2.3²)

k = 68,290.3 N/m

Thus, the stiffness constant of the spring is 68,290.3 N/m.
