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

Explain Energy Transformation using the image below and how the Law of Conservation of Energy is maintained.
Karolina [17]

The chemical energy of petrol is converted to heat energy on combustion. The heat energy is converted to kinetic energy by the use of internal combustion engines in vehicles. The law of conservation of energy is maintained in each process.

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>

The kinetic energy of an object is associated with its motion. It can be related to the mass and velocity as

K.E = 1/2 mv²

Given is a diagram of energy conversion due to combustion.

The chemical energy of petrol is converted to heat energy on combustion. The heat energy is converted to kinetic energy by the use of internal combustion engines in vehicles.

The law of conservation of energy states that the energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can be only converted to one form to the other.

In the given process, the mass decreases but energy remains the same in all forms of energy.

Hence, the law of conservation of energy is maintained in each process

A fox fleeing from a hunter encounters a 0.700 m tall fence and attempts to jump it. The fox jumps with an initial velocity of 7.
iris [78.8K]

Answer:0.61 m

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity (u)=7.40 m/s

launch angle \theta =45^{\circ}

height of fence=0.7 m

Trajectory of Projectile is given by

y=x\tan \theta -\frac{gx^2}{2u^2\cos^2\theta }

For x=2.1 m  

y=2.1\tan (45)-\frac{9.8\times 2.1^2}{2\times 7.4^2\times (\cos 45)^2}

y=2.1-0.789

y=1.31 m

At x=2.1 m Y=1.31

therefore Fox clear fence by a margin =1.31-0.7=0.61 m

An astronaut on a strange planet finds that she can jump a maximum horizontal distance of 14.0 m if her initial speed is 2.20 m/
pochemuha

We have the equation of motion

                          v^2 = u^2+2as , where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and s is the displacement.

In this case initial velocity = 2.20 m/s, final velocity = 0 m/s, displacement = 14 m

On substitution we will get 0 = 2.20^2+2*a*14

On solving we can find the acceleration value as -0.173m/s^2

So free fall acceleration = 0.173m/s^2

If an object on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a spring, displaced, and then released, it oscillates. Suppose
Volgvan

Answer:

a) A=0.125 m

b) T = 1.72 s

c) f= 0.58 Hz

Explanation:

a) As we are told that the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position was 0.125 m (from which it was released at zero initial speed), this is the amplitude of the resultant SHM, so, A=0.125 m

b) In order to find the period, we must get the total time needed to complete a full cycle (which means that the block must pass twice through the equilibrium point). We are told that at t=0.860 sec, the block has reached to the other end of the trajectory, and it  has passed through the equilibrium point only once.

This means that the period must be exactly the double of this time:

T = 2*0. 860 sec = 1.72 sec.

c) In a SHM, the frequency is defined just as the inverse of the period (like in a uniform circular movement), so we can get the frequency  f as follows:

f = 1/T = 1/ 1.72 s= 0.58 Hz
