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

Physics
1 answer:
vesna_86 [32]2 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

What is NOT a major factor affecting climate?
professor190 [17]

B Longitude

Explanation:

The line of longitude or longitude does not affects climates.

Climate is the weather condition over a place for a long period of time. It usually takes several years to delineate the climate of an area.

  •  Longitude is the distance on the earth surface that runs form east to west.
  • All lines of longitude are all great circles.
  • Latitude are lines from north to south on the earth surface. Only the equator is a great circle.
  • Latitude affects climate. In fact based on the division of lines of latitude on can predict climatic patterns on earth.
  • Proximity to water bodies also affects climatic condition because of the effect of land and sea breeze and other climatic factors.
  • Elevation affects climate a whole lot. Physiography of a place determines the weather to a very large extent.

Why do waves with frequencies higher than visible light hurt while those with lower frequencies do not affect us?
STALIN [3.7K]
Lower frequency waves have less strength to penetrate. How bad a wave is all depends on how well it penetrates our bodies. Visible light doesn't penetrate ur skin, but UV rays (higher than visible) can go through our skin, making it <span>bad" for us. High frequency waves have more energy and move faster</span>

How would the terminal velocity of a piece of tissue paper compare to the terminal velocity of a rock?
matrenka [14]

Answer: Rock require larger drag force and to achieve it rock need to move at a very high terminal velocity.  

Explanation: Terminal velocity is defined as the final velocity attained by an object falling under the gravity. At this moment weight is balanced by the air resistance or drag force and body falls with zero acceleration i.e. with a constant velocity.

Case 1: Terminal velocity of a piece of tissue paper.

The weight of tissue paper is very less and it experiences an air resistance while falling downward under the effect of gravity.

Downward gravitational force, F = mg

Upward air resistance or friction or drag force will be f_{1}

So, paper will attain terminal velocity when mg =  f_{1}

Case 2: Rock is very heavy and require larger air resistance to balance the weight of rock relative to the tissue paper case.

Downward force on rock, F = Mg

Drag force = f_{2}

Rock will attain terminal velocity when Mg = f_{2}

Mg > mg

so, f_{2} > f_{1}

And rock require larger drag force and to achieve it rock need to move at a very high terminal velocity.

If we have a new moon today, when we will have the next full moon?.
Sav [38]

29.5 days

It takes 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes for our Moon to complete one full orbit around Earth. This is called the sidereal month, and is measured by our Moon's position relative to distant “fixed” stars. However, it takes our Moon about 29.5 days to complete one cycle of phases (from new Moon to new Moon).
