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

Physics
1 answer:
vesna_86 [32]3 years ago
6 0

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

If points a and b are connected by a wire with negligible resistance, find the magnitude of the current in the 12.0 v battery.
Marizza181 [45]
V = I * R
Where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance. Using Ohm's law, you require resistance to find the current through the wire. Technically, if the wire has a resistance of 0, you will get infinite current. But this isn't possible. Maybe the negligible resistance refers to the battery's internal resistance - not the wire's resistance.

A person pulls a box across the floor with a rope. The rope makes an angle of 40 degrees tot he horizontal, and a total of 125 n
RSB [31]

Answer:

The angle formed of the rope with the surface = 40°

Force applied = 125Newtons

The displacement covered by the box =25metres

W= FDcos theta

[125×40×cos(40°) ] Joules

= [ (3125×0.76604444311)]Joules

= 2393.88888472 joules(ans)

Hope it helps
