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.

How does a virus make it into a cell and what happens to it as it tries to get to its target “The Nucleus”?
Hunter-Best [27]
Once the virus gets into the host's body, it enters the nearest cell.Once it gets to the nucleus it turns that cell into a virus-production cell and once the immune system detects those viruses it takes action.

A food processor draws 8.47 A of current when connected to a potential difference of 110 V.
Andreyy89

Answer:

27.95[kW*min]

Explanation:

We must remember that the power can be determined by the product of the current by the voltage.

P=V*I

where:

P = power [W]

V = voltage [volt]

I = amperage [Amp]

Now replacing:

P=110*8.47\\P=931.7[W]

Now the energy consumed can be obtained mediate the multiplication of the power by the amount of time in operation, we must obtain an amount in Kw per hour [kW-min]

Energy = 931.7[kW]*30[days]*10[\frac{min}{1day} ]=279510[W*min]or 27.95[kW*min]

How much force must be applied on a blade of length 4cm and thickness of 0.1mm to exert a pressure of 4000000pa?
Viktor [21]

Answer:

F= 403429 kpa

Explanation:

Pressure is the product of force and area

Mathematically,

P=F*A -------where F is force and A is area.

A= 40 *0.1 = 4mm² -----convert to m²

A= 4e⁻⁶ m²

P= 4000000 pa

F= P/A = 4000000/4e⁻⁶

F= 403428793.493 pa

F= 403429 kpa
