What is the pressure of a 300 lb. object on a 100 sq. in. area?

Physics
1 answer:
denis23 [38]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

D. 3 psi

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as force acting per unit area and is numerically expressed as:

P= \frac {F}{A}

where P represent pressure, F is force and A is area where the force acts. Substituting 300 lb for force and 100 sq.in for area then pressure,

P=\frac {300 lb}{100 in^{2}}= 3 \ psi

Therefore, from the choices given, option D, 3psi is the right choice.

James Joule (after whom the unit of energy is named) claimed that the water at the bottom of Niagara Falls should be warmer than
Molodets [167]

Answer:

0.12 K

Explanation:

height, h = 51 m

let the mass of water is m.

Specific heat of water, c = 4190 J/kg K

According to the transformation of energy

Potential energy of water = thermal energy of water

m x g x h = m x c x ΔT

Where, ΔT is the rise in temperature

g x h =  c x ΔT

9.8 x 51 = 4190 x ΔT

ΔT = 0.12 K

Thus, the rise in temperature is 0.12 K.

A flute player hears four beats per second when she compares her note to a 523 HzHz tuning fork (the note C). She can match the
laiz [17]

Answer:

527 Hz

Solution:

As per the question:

Beat frequency of the player, \Delta f = 4\ beats/s

Frequency of the tuning fork, f = 523 Hz

Now,

The initial frequency can be calculated as:

\Delta f = f - f_{i}

f_{i} = f \pm \Delta f

when

f_{i} = f + \Delta f = 523 + 4 = 527 Hz

when

f_{i} = f - \Delta f = 523 - 4 = 519 Hz

But we know that as the length of the flute increases the frequency decreases

Hence, the initial frequency must be 527 Hz
