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.

Compare and contrast electric conductors and electric insulators. Give an example of each.
ludmilkaskok [199]
An example of conductors of heat would be iron pans. a example of electric insulators would be copper, gold and silver. to contrast conductors and insulators, insulators let electricity pass through them while conductors restricts electricity. both conductors and insulators can work with lithium and sodium.

If the power rating on a motor is 10W and 500J of energy is used to move a 20N object, how long is the motor used for?
Mkey [24]

The power rating on the motor is the maximum power it's ABLE to deliver. It can run with LESS power output than the rating, but if you try to run it with MORE than it's rated, the motor will overheat and eventually burn out.

" 10 watts " means " 10 Joules of enrgy per second ".

If the motor is operated at its full maximum rated capacity, then

(500 joules) / (10 joules/sec) = <em>50 seconds</em>

exis [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

electrical field strength = potential diff / distance

= ( 450 - 0 ) / 8 x 10⁻²

= 5625 V/m

b )

potential difference = electric field x distance

= 5625 x .10

= 562.5 V
