wrap something soft around them. Think about how you get your packages if something gets shipped to you.

Usually, much of the destruction throughout earthquakes occur from flooding and fires created by damaged utilities. Gas channels or water pipes can be crushed throughout the earthquakes. Adjustable brackets in the blocks can protect them of damage and automated shut-off devices can be employed to prevent gas and water leakage.

A radio wave transmits 38.5 W/m2 of power per unit area. A flat surface of area A is perpendicular to the direction of propagati

Margaret [11]

Answer:

$P=2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

A radio wave transmits 38.5 W/m² of power per unit area.

A flat surface of area A is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

We need to find the radiation pressure on it. It is given by the formula as follows :

$P=\dfrac{2I}{c}$

Where

c is speed of light

Putting all the values, we get :

$P=\dfrac{2\times 38.5}{3\times 10^8}\\\\=2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2$

So, the radiation pressure is $2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2$ .

Object A is 71 degrees and object B is 75 degrees how will thermal energy flow

Tasya [4]

Given :

Object A is 71 degrees and object B is 75 degrees .

To Find :

How will thermal energy flow.

Solution :

We know, by law of thermodynamics thermal energy will flow from higher temperature to lower temperature.

So, in the given question energy will flow from object B from object A.

Hence, this is the required solution.

As a quality test of ball bearings, you drop bearings (small metal balls), with zero initial velocity, from a height of 1.94 m i

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The average acceleration of the bearings is $0.77\times10^{3}\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 1.94 m

Bounced height = 1.48 m

Time interval $t=14.86\times10^{-3}\ s$

Velocity of the ball bearing just before hitting the steel plate

We need to calculate the velocity

Using conservation of energy

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Put the value into the formula

$9.8\times1.94=\dfrac{1}{2}\times v^2$

$v=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times1.94}$

$v=6.166\ m/s$

Negative as it is directed downwards

After bounce back,

We need to calculate the velocity

Using conservation of energy

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2'$

Put the value into the formula

$9.8\times1.48=\dfrac{1}{2}\times v^2'$

$v'=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times1.48}$

$v'=5.38\ m/s$

We need to calculate the average acceleration of the bearings while they are in contact with the plate

Using formula of acceleration

$a=\dfrac{v-v'}{t}$

Put the value into the formula

$a=\dfrac{5.38-(-6.166)}{14.86\times10^{-3}}$

$a=776.98\ m/s^2$

$a=0.77\times10^{3}\ m/s^2$

Hence,The average acceleration of the bearings is $0.77\times10^{3}\ m/s^2$

The ideal gas constant is a proportionality constant that is added to the ideal gas law to account for pressure (P), volume (V), moles of gas (n), and temperature (T) (R). R, the global gas constant, is 8.314 J/K-1 mol-1.

According to the Ideal Gas Law, a gas's pressure, volume, and temperature may all be compared based on its density or mole value.

The Ideal Gas Law has two fundamental formulas.

PV = nRT, PM = dRT.

P = Atmospheric Pressure

V = Liters of Volume

n = Present Gas Mole Number

R = 0.0821atmLmoL K, the Ideal Gas Law Constant.

T = Kelvin-degree temperature

M stands for Molar Mass of the Gas in grams Mol d for Gas Density in gL.
