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:
v ’= 21.44 m / s
Explanation:
This is a doppler effect exercise that changes the frequency of the sound due to the relative movement of the source and the observer, the expression that describes the phenomenon for body approaching s
f ’= f (v + v₀) / (v-)
where it goes is the speed of sound 343 m / s, v_{s} the speed of the source v or the speed of the observer
in this exercise both the source and the observer are moving, we will assume that both have the same speed,
v₀ = v_{s} = v ’
we substitute
f ’= f (v + v’) / (v - v ’)
f ’/ f (v-v’) = v + v ’
v (f ’/ f -1) = v’ (1 + f ’/ f)
v ’= (f’ / f-1) / (1 + f ’/ f) v
v ’= (f’-f) / (f + f’) v
let's calculate
v ’= (3400 -3000) / (3000 +3400) 343
v ’= 400/6400 343
v ’= 21.44 m / s
