Answer:

10.12square feet

Explanation:

Pressure exerted on the object is defined as the ratio of the force exerted on it to its unit area. Mathematically, Pressure = Force/Area

Given the force = 170kN

Pressure = 180KPa

Area = Force /Pressure

Area = 170kN/180KPa

Area = 0.94N/Pa

Note that 1Newton/Pascal = 10.764square feet

Therefore 0.94N/Pa = x

x = 0.94× 10.764

x = 10.12square feet

Therefore the area upon which this pressure is exerted is 10.12sqft.

What's the value of 1,152 Btu in joules? A. 1,964,445 J B. 2,485,664 J C. 987,875 J D. 1,215,360 J
OLga [1]

Answer: Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Given,  1,152 British thermal units

1 British thermal unit = 1055.06 joules

So, in 1,152 British thermal units there will be :

1152\times 1055.06 Joules=1215429.12 Joules=1.21542912\times 10^{8} Joules

Hence, from the given options the closest answer is of option (d). So, option (d) is correct.

A 150 kg boy and his bike are traveling 12 m/s when he slams on his breaks and stop at his friend’s house. How much impulse is r
Nataly [62]

Answer:

J = 1800 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a boy, m = 150 kg

Initial velocity of a boy, u = 12 m/s

Finally, it stops, v = 0

We need to find the impulse is required to produce this change in momentum. We know that impulse is equal to the change in momentum. So,

J=m(v-u)\\\\=150\times (0-12)\\\\=-1800\ kg-m/s\\\\|J|=1800\ kg-m/s

So, the impulse is equal to 1800 kg-m/s
