A woman is applying 300N/m2 of pressure on to door with her hand. Her hand has area of 0.02m2. Work out the force being applied​
never [62]

Answer:

6N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure applied by the woman  = 300N/m²

Area = 0.02m²

Unknown:

Force applied  = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force per unit area on a body

        Pressure  = \frac{force}{area}

         Force  = Pressure x area

        Force  = 300 x 0.02  = 6N

The 1 kg box is sliding along a frictionless surface. It collides with and sticks to the 2 kg box. Afterward, the speed of the t
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The speed of the boxes are 1 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of box = 1 kg

Mass of another box = 2 kg

Suppose 1 kg box moves with 3 m/s speed.

We need to calculate the speed of the boxes

Using formula of conservation of momentum

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v

Where, u = initial velocity

v = final velocity

Put the value into the formula

1\times3+2\times0=(1+2)v

v=\dfrac{3}{3}

v=1\ m/s

Hence, The speed of the boxes are 1 m/s.
