What is the pressure of a 300 lb. object on a 100 sq. in. area?
1 answer:
Answer:
D. 3 psi
Explanation:
Pressure is defined as force acting per unit area and is numerically expressed as:
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,
Therefore, from the choices given, option D, 3psi is the right choice.

Answer:
(a) 25 m
(b) 75 m
Explanation:
Given that the jogger runs at a constant rate of 10.0 m every 2.0 seconds.
So, the speed of the jogger,
Let d be the distance covered by him in time, t s.
As distance=(speed) x (time)
So,
From equation (i)
As the jogger starts from origin, so, the distance, , also represents the position of the jogger at the time
s.
The position-time graph has been shown.
(a) From equation (ii), for t=5.0 s
So, the jogger is at a distance of 25 m from the origin.
(b) Similarly, for t=15.0 s
So, the jogger is at a distance of 75 m from the origin.
