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.

expeople1 [14]

Answer: $I=2 kg-m^2$

Explanation:

Given

mass $m=72 kg$

Force $F=5 N$

door knob is located at a distance of r=0.8 m from axis

Angular acceleration of door $\alpha =2 rad/s^2$

Torque $T=I\alpha =F\times r$

where I=moment of inertia

$5\times 0.8=I\times 2$

$I=2 kg-m^2$

Help What are energy and work

mylen [45]

Answer:

In physics, energy is the quantitative property that must be transferred to an object in order to perform work on, or to heat, the object. Energy is a conserved quantity; the law of conservation of energy states that energy can be converted in form, but not created or destroyed.

When a roller coaster gets to the bottom of a descent, describe the energy transfers and changes to energy stores that happen if

Feliz [49]

Answer:

its B

Explanation:

It's B & A at the same time because A. a roller coaster uses brakes to slow down and stop. B is the most reasonable answer. Because all roller coasters go up and over a second time over the hill, but they also slow down. But go with B.

19. After a snowstorm, you put on your frictionless skis and tie a rope to the back of your friend’s truck. Your total mass is 7

Kisachek [45]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Total mass is 70 kg

The truck exerts a constant force of 20 N.

Then the net force is given by :

F = ma

a is acceleration of rider

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{20}{70}\\\\a=\dfrac{2}{7}\ m/s^2$

Initial velocity of rider is 0. So, using equation of kinematics to find the final velocity as :

$v=u+at\\\\v=at\\\\v=\dfrac{2}{7}\times 15\\\\v=4.28\ m/s$

Since, 1 m/s = 2.23 mph

4.28 m/s = 9.57 mph

So, the speed of the rider is 4.28 m/s or 9.57 mph.
