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.

horizontal force pushes block up a 20.0 incline with an initial speed 12.0 m//s. a) how high up the plane does slide before comi

Annette [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply conservation of mechanical energy .

initial kinetic energy = 1/2 m v²

= .5 x m x 12 x 12

= 72 m

This energy will be spent to store potential energy . if h be the height attained

potential energy = mgh , h is vertical height attined by block

= mg l sin20 where l is length up the inclined plane

for conservation of mechanical energy

initial kinetic energy = potential energy

72 m = mg l sin20

l = 72 / g sin20

= 21.5 m

deceleration on inclined plane = g sin20

= 3.35 m /s²

v = u - at

t = v - u / a

= (12 - 0) / 3.35

= 3.58 s

it will take the same time to come back . total time taken to reach original point = 2 x 3.58

= 7.16 s

Correct Number Formats Numbers may be entered in several formats - including scientific notation and numerical expressions.

Illusion [34]

Answer:

a. Valid

b. Invalid

c. Invalid

d. Invalid

e. Valid

f. Valid

g. Invalid

Explanation:

Since, it follows all the four rules,

Therefore, this number is Valid

It uses upper case E, instead of lower case e.

Therefore, it is Invalid

It violates third rule for including unit.

Therefore, it is Invalid

It violates the first rule. As, there is a space between 6 and e. While in the example given in question, there is no gap.

Therefore, it is Invalid

Since, it follows all the four rules,

Therefore, this number is Valid

Since, it follows all the four rules,

Therefore, this number is Valid

It violates third rule for including unit.

Therefore, it is Invalid

A homing pigeon starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at +4.00 m/s squared for 10.0 seconds. What is its velocity after the

zavuch27 [327]

' +4 m/s² ' means that the pigeon's speed is 4 m/s greater every second.

Starting from zero speed, after 10 seconds, its speed is

(10 x 4m/s) = 40 m/s.

We can't say anything about its velocity, because we have
no information regarding the direction of its flight.
