Steps: Formula for acceleration. (Velocity Final - Initial Velocity) / Time
(24 - 0) / 12 = 2
Answer:
19 N
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Pressure (P) = 1.9 kPa
Length (L) = 10 cm
Force (F) =?
Next, we shall convert 1.9 KPa to N/m². This can be obtained as follow:
1 KPa = 1000 N/m²
Therefore,
1.9 KPa = 1.9 KPa × 1000 N/m² / 1 KPa
1.9 KPa = 1900 N/m²
Thus, 1.9 KPa is equivalent to 1900 N/m².
Next, we shall convert 10 cm to m. This can be obtained as follow:
100 cm = 1 m
Therefore,
10 cm = 10 cm × 1 m / 100 cm
10 cm = 0.1 m
Thus, 10 cm is equivalent to 0.1 m
Next, we shall determine the area of the square. This can be obtained as follow:
Length (L) = 0.1 m
Area of square (A) =?
A = L²
A = 0.1²
A = 0.01 m²
Thus, the area of the square is 0.01 m².
Finally, we shall determine the force that must be exerted on the sensor in order for it to turn red. This can be obtained as follow:
Pressure (P) = 1900 N/m²
Area (A) = 0.01 m²
Force (F) =?
P = F/A
1900 = F / 0.01
Cross multiply
F = 1900 × 0.01
F = 19 N
Therefore, a force of 19 N must be exerted on the sensor in order for it to turn red.
Answer:
(4) weight
Explanation:
The centripetal force acting on the space shuttle in orbit is given by:
where
m is the mass of the shuttle
v is the tangential speed of the shuttle
r is the radius of its circular orbit
When the shuttle orbits the Earth, the centripetal force that keeps the shuttle in circular motion is given by the gravitational attraction between the shuttle and the Earth, which corresponds to the weight of the shuttle, and it is given by:
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth's mass
And this force, therefore, corresponds to the centripetal force.
