Complete question:

A block of solid lead sits on a flat, level surface. Lead has a density of 1.13 x 104 kg/m3. The mass of the block is 20.0 kg. The amount of surface area of the block in contact with the surface is 2.03*10^-2*m2, What is the average pressure (in Pa) exerted on the surface by the block? Pa

Answer:

The average pressure exerted on the surface by the block is 9655.17 Pa

Explanation:

Given;

density of the lead, ρ =  1.13 x 10⁴ kg/m³

mass of the lead block, m = 20 kg

surface area of the area of the block, A = 2.03 x 10⁻² m²

Determine the force exerted on the surface by the block due to its weight;

F = mg

F = 20 x 9.8

F = 196 N

Determine the pressure exerted on the surface by the block

P = F / A

where;

P is the pressure

P = 196 / (2.03 x 10⁻²)

P = 9655.17 N/m²

P = 9655.17 Pa

Therefore, the average pressure exerted on the surface by the block is 9655.17 Pa

love history [14]

Answer: the refraction of light by the atmosphere

Explanation: Refraction is the phenomenon in which there is a change in direction of light passing from one medium to another or from a gradual change in the medium.

Here in case of sunset, the sun rays passes through the varying density of atmosphere because of varying concentrations of dust particles.

Reflection is the phenomenon in which the light bounces back after falling on a surface.

Absorption is the phenomenon in which matter captures the electromagnetic radiations and thus the energy of photons is converted to internal energy of the system.

An object moving with constant speed can be accelerated if direction of motion changes. For example, an object moving with a constant speed in a circular path has an acceleration because its direction of motion changes continuously.

A spring with force constant of 59 N/m is compressed by 1.3 cm in a hockey game machine. The compressed spring is used to accele
Furkat [3]

Answer:

The puck moves a vertical height of 2.6 cm before stopping

Explanation:

As the puck is accelerated by the spring, the kinetic energy of the puck equals the elastic potential energy of the spring.

So, 1/2mv² = 1/2kx² where m = mass of puck = 39.2 g = 0.0392 g, v = velocity of puck, k = spring constant = 59 N/m and x = compression of spring = 1.3 cm = 0.013 cm.

Now, since the puck has an initial velocity, v before it slides up the inclined surface, its loss in kinetic energy equals its gain in potential energy before it stops. So

1/2mv² = mgh where h = vertical height puck moves and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

Substituting the kinetic energy of the puck for the potential energy of the spring, we have

1/2kx² = mgh

h = kx²/2mg

= 59 N/m × (0.013 m)²/(0.0392 kg × 9.8 m/s²)

= 0.009971 Nm/0.38416 N

= 0.0259 m

= 2.59 cm

≅ 2.6 cm

So the puck moves a vertical height of 2.6 cm before stopping
