A 40 kg box has a surface area of 0.2 m2, determine its pressure.

Physics
1 answer:
vesna_86 [32]2 years ago

Answer:

P = 1960 Pa

Explanation:

The pressure is computed as the force acting upon a surface divided by the area of the surface

P=\frac{F}{A}

The box has 40 kg, it presses on its own surface when placed over a table or any flat area. The acting force is its weight.

F = W = m.g = 40 kg \ 9.8m/sec^2 = 392 N

The pressure is:

P=\frac{392N}{0.2m^2}=1960 \ Pa

Two positive charge spheres, the spheres are separated by 0.40 m. The charge on the first sphere is 100 microcoulombs and the
agasfer [191]

Answer: 168.75 N

Explanation:

first, let's convert microcoulombs to coulombs

q1 = 1e-4 C

q2 = 3e-5 C

r = 0.4 m

then use the equation Fe = \frac{kq_{1} q_{2}}{r^{2} }

plug in values --> F = (9e9*1e-4*3e-5)/(0.4)^2

F = 168.75 N

Before swinging, T has only potential energy, (no speed)
Ui = mgh
Where h is the vertical displacement of T
From the laws of geometry,
cos45 = (L-h)/L
cos45 = 1-h/L
h/L = 1-cos45
h = L(1-cos45)

Therefore
Ui = mgL(1-cos45)

Proceeding the same way,
Twill raise to aheight of h' due to swing
h' = L(1-cos30)
The PE of T after swing is
Uf = mgh'
Uf = mgL(1-cos30)

Along with the PE , T has some kinetic energy results due to the moment.
Tf = 0.5*mv^2

According to the law of conservation of energy,
Ui = Uf+Tf
mgL(1-cos45) = mgL(1-cos30) + 0.5*mv^2
gL(co30-cos45) = 0.5*v^2
9.8*20*(co30-cos45) = 0.5*V^2
v = 7.89 m/s

<span>The speed f T after swing is 7.89 m/s</span>
