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.

particle of mass 59 g and charge 51 µC is released from rest when it is 32 cm from a second particle of charge −14 µC. Determine
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The initial acceleration of the 59g particle is 1062.7\frac{m}{s^{2}}

Explanation:

Newton's second laws relates acceleration (a), net force(F) and mass (m) in the next way:

F=ma (1)

We already know the mass of the particle so we should find the electric force on it to use on (1), the magnitude of the electric force between two charged objects by Columb's law is:

F=k\frac{\mid q_{1}q_{2}\mid}{r^{2}}

with q1 and q2 the charge of the particles, r the distance between them and k the constant k=9.0\times10^{9}\,\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}}. So:

F=(9.0\times10^{9})\frac{\mid (51\times10^{-6})(-14\times10^{-6})\mid}{0.32^{2}}

F=62.7 N

Using that value on (1) and solving for a

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{62.7}{0.059}=1062.7\frac{m}{s^{2}}

What is the momentum of an object that is moving in a straight line at a speed of 10 m/s and has a mass of 10 kilograms?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
The momentum of an object is given by the product between its mass and its velocity:
p=mv
where m is the mass and v the velocity.

For the object in our problem, m=10 kg and v=10 m/s, therefore its momentum is
p=mv=(10 kg)(10 m/s)=100 kg m/s
So, the correct answer is B).
