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

the maximum range of a projectile is 2÷√3 times its actual range what is the angle of the projection for the actual range

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The actual angle is 30°

Explanation:

<h2>Equation of projectile:</h2><h2>y axis:</h2>

$v_y(t)=vo*sin(A)-g*t$

the velocity is Zero when the projectile reach in the maximum altitude:

$0=vo-gt\\t=\frac{vo}{g}$

When the time is vo/g the projectile are in the middle of the range.

$d_x(t)=vo*cos(A)*t\\$

R=Range

$R=d_x(t=2*\frac{vo}{g})$

$R=vo*cos(A)*2\frac{vo}{g} \\\\R=\frac{(vo)^{2}*2* sin(A)cos(A)}{g} \\\\R=\frac{(vo)^{2} sin(2A)}{g}$

**sin(2A)=2sin(A)cos(A)

<h2>The maximum range occurs when A=45°(because sin(90°)=1)</h2><h2>The actual range R'=(2/√3)R:</h2>

Let B the actual angle of projectile

$\frac{vo^{2} }{g} =(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3} }) \frac{vo^{2} *sin(2B)}{g}\\\\1= \frac{2 }{\sqrt{3}} *sin(2B)\\\\sin(2B)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\\\\$

2B=60°

B=30°

Answer:

Its initial position was 471 m.

Explanation:

We have,

Final position of the object is 327 m

Displacement of the object is -144 m

It is required to find its initial position. The difference of final and initial position is equal to the displacement of the object. So,

$d=\text{final position}-\text{initial position}\\\\-144=327-\text{initial position}\\\\\text{initial position}=327+144\\\\\text{initial position}=471\ m$

So, its initial position was 471 m.

A nautical mile is 6076 feet, and 1 knot is a unit of speed equal to 1 nautical mile/hour. How fast is a boat going 8 knots goin

mezya [45]

Answer:

The speed of the boat is equal to 13.50 ft/s.

Explanation:

given,

1 nautical mile = 6076 ft

1 knot = 1 nautical mile /hour

1 knot = 6076 ft/hr

speed of boat = 8 knots

8 knots = 8 nautical mile /hour

= $8 \times \dfrac{6076\ ft}{1\nautical\ mile}\times \dfrac{1\ hour}{60\times 60\ s}$

= 13.50 ft/s

The speed of the boat is equal to 13.50 ft/s.

A race car, traveling at constant speed, makes one lap around a circular track of radius 200 m. When the car has traveled halfwa

mario62 [17]

The magnitude of the displacement of the car from the starting point to halfway around the track is 256 m.

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the race track is a circular track, the distance for one lap will be equal to the circumference of the circular track. And the circumference will be equal to the circumference of the circle.

Since the radius of the track is given as 200 m, then the circumference of the circular track will be

Circumference = 2πr = 2 × 3.14 × 200

So the circumference of the circular track = 1256 m.

So the starting point or position of the track is considered as zero and if the car has traveled half way means, the car has covered half of the circumference of the track.

As the circumference = 1256 m, then half of the circumference of the circle = 1256/2 = 256 m.

So the displacement is the measure of difference between the final position and initial position. As here the initial position is zero and the final position is the halfway around the track which is equal to 256 m.

Then Displacement = Final-Initial = 256-0= 256 m.

So the magnitude of the displacement of the car from the starting point to halfway around the track is 256 m.
