Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Mass of dancer m=60\ kg

Area of contact A=26\ cm^2

(a)If dancer is stationary

Pressure exerted by Floor is given by load per unit area of contact

P=\frac{weight}{A}

P=\frac{mg}{A}

P=\frac{60\times 9.8}{26\times 10^{-4}}

P=226.153 kN

(b)If dancer is leaping upwards with an acceleration of a=5 m/s^2

So apparent weight of dancer is W'=mg+ma

W'=m(g+a)=60\cdot (9.8+5)

W'=888\ N

Pressure=\frac{W'}{A}

Pressure=\frac{888}{26\times 10^{-4}}

=341.53\ kN

omeli [17]

pavement is defined as the surface of Road or sidewalk.

for example, the surface of Expressway.

There are two types of pavement.

rigid pavement which consists of one layer.

flexible pavement which consist of multiple layers.

While driving on roads of rural areas, if our right wheel moves off the pavement, we should always hold the steering wheel firmly and then take our foot off the pedal, then apply brake lightly until we are moving at a low speed.

if you run off the pavement, you should: turn the steering wheel quickly toward the road steer straight and slow down before attempting to return to the pavement steer straight ahead and speed up apply the brakes hard

If both mass and speed are doubled, what happens to its momentum?
puteri [66]

The general formula is:      Momentum = (mass) x (speed)

I never like to just write a bunch of algebra without explaining it.
But in this particular case, there's really not much to say, and
I think the algebra will pretty well explain itself.  I hope so:


Original momentum = (original mass) x (original speed)


New momentum = (2 x original mass) x (2 x original speed)

                           = (2) x (original mass) x (2) x (original speed)

                           = (2) x (2) x (original mass) x (original speed)

                           =  (4) x (original mass) x (original speed)

                           =  (4) x (original momentum).

A blow-dryer and a vacuum cleaner each operate with a voltage of 120 V. The current rating of the blow-dryer is 12 A, while that
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

a) 1450watts

b) 564watts

c) 1.11

Explanation:

Power consumed = IV

I is the current rating

V is the operating voltage

If a blow-dryer and a vacuum cleaner each operate with a voltage of 120 V and the current rating of the blow-dryer is 12 A, while that of the vacuum cleaner is 4.7 A then their individual power rating is calculated thus;

a) For blow-dryer

Operating voltage = 120V

Its current rating = 12A

Power consumed = IV

= 120×12

= 1440watts

b) For vacuum cleaner:

Operating voltage is the same as that of blow dryer = 120V

Its current rating = 4.7A

Power consumed = IV

= 120×4.7

= 564watts

c) Energy used = Power consumed × time taken

Energy used = Power × time

Energy used by blow dryer = 1440×20×60

= 1,728,000Joules

Energy used up by vacuum cleaner = 564×46×60

= 564×2760

= 1,556,640Joules

Ratio of the energy used by the blow-dryer in 20 minutes to the energy used by the vacuum cleaner in 46 minutes will be 1,728,000/1,556,640 = 1.11
