Answer:

609547.12 Pa ≈ 6.10×10^5 Pa

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question. This include the following:

Force (F) = 49.8 N

Radius (r) = 0.00510 m

Pressure (P) =..?

Step 2:

Determination of the area of the head of the nail.

The head of a nail is circular in nature. Therefore, the area is given by:

Area (A) = πr²

With the above formula we can obtain the area as follow:

Radius (r) = 0.00510 m

Area (A) =?

A = πr²

A = π x (0.00510)²

A = 8.17×10^-5 m²

Therefore the area of the head of the nail is 8.17×10^-5 m²

Step 3:

Determination of the pressure exerted by the hammer.

This is illustrated below:

Force (F) = 49.8 N

Area (A) = 8.17×10^-5 m²

Pressure (P) =..?

Pressure (P) = Force (F) /Area (A)

P = F/A

P = 49.8/8.17×10^-5

P = 609547.12 N/m²

Now, we shall convert 609547.12 N/m² to Pa.

1 N/m² = 1 Pa

Therefore, 609547.12 N/m² = 609547.12 Pa.

Therefore, the pressure exerted by the hammer on the nail is 609547.12 Pa or 6.10×10^5 Pa

How do you change matter into other phases of matter?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
Hey there!

There's many ways to do it - like melting and evaporating.

For example, we'll use water. Plain old water in a water bottle. Right now, it's in its liquid state of matter, but say you put it in the freezer for an hour. That would change its state of matter to solid, since it would be solid ice. Now, if you were to put it out in the sun on a blazing hot day for a couple of hours, it would evaporate and become water vapor, a gas. Lastly, if you can cool that water vapor it becomes a liquid again.

Hope this helps!

Sound waves are mechanical waves. Which statement is true for this type of wave?
Bad White [126]

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium in order to transport their energy. Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. ... Sound is a mechanical wave and cannot travel through a vacuum.

A 1000-kg car is driving toward the north along a straight horizontal road at a speed of 20.0 m/s. The driver applies the brakes
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The value of F= - 830 N

Since the force is negative, it implies direction of the force applied was due south.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass = 1000-kg

Distance, d = 240 m

Initial velocity, v1 = 20.0 m/s

Final velocity, v2 = 0 (since the car came to rest after brake was applied)

v2²= v1² + 2ad (using one of the equation of motion)

0=  20² + (2 x a x  240)

0= 400 + 480 a

a = - 400/480

a = - 0.83 m/s²

Then, imputing the value of a into

F = ma

F = 1000 kg x ( - 0.83 m/s²)

F= - 830 N

The car was driving toward the north, and since the force is negative, it implies direction of the force applied was due south.
