Answer:

6.23x10^6Pa

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

F (force) = 490N

r (radius) = 0.005m

A (area of the circlular heel) =?

P (pressure) =.?

First, we'll begin by calculating the area of the circlular heel. This is illustrated below:

Area of circle = πr^2

Area = 22/7 x (0.00)^2

Area = 7.86x10^-5m^2

Pressure is simply force per unit area. It represented mathematically as

Pressure = Force /Area

Pressure = 490/7.86x10^-5

Pressure = 6.23x10^6N/m2

Recall: 1N/m2 = 1Pa

Therefore, 6.23x10^6N/m2 = 6.23x10^6Pa

Therefore, the woman exert a pressure of 6.23x10^6Pa on the floor

1. Earth releases about 44-46 Tw of heat, in fact heat can be converted into

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

even if it all could be used, it wouldn't be enough

Explanation:

The land area of the US is about 5.45% of the world's area, so the amount of released heat over the area of the US is on the order of 2.4 Tw. Current technology for converting geothermal energy to electricity is about 12% efficient, so the available energy might amount to 0.29 Tw if it could all be captured.

Energy consumption in the US in 2019 was on the order of 0.46 Tw. This suggests that even if <em>all</em> of the thermal energy radiated by the Earth from the US could be turned to useful forms of energy, it would meet only about 60% of the US need for energy.

2. A rocket blasts off vertically from rest on the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.5 . At 30.0 s after blast

harina [27]

Answer:

a)The highest point reached by the rocket is 1412 m

b)The rocket crashes after 54.7 s

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equations of height and velocity of the rocket are the following:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t² (while the engines work).

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t² (when the rocket is in free fall).

v = v0 + a · t (while the engines work).

v = v0 + g · t (when the rocket is in free fall).

Where:

h = height of the rocket at a time t.

h0 = initial height of the rocket.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

a = acceleration due to the engines.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

v = velocity of the rocket at a time t.

First, let's find the velocity and height reached by the rocket until the engines fail:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Let's set the origin of the frame of reference at the launching point so that h0 = 0. Since the rocket starts from rest, v0 = 0. So after 30.0 s the height of the rocket will be:

h = 1/2 · a · t²

h = 1/2 · 2.5 m/s² · (30.0 s)²

h = 1125 m

Now let's find the velocity of the rocket at t = 30.0 s:

v = v0 + a · t (v0 = 0)

v = 2.5 m/s² · 30.0 s

v = 75 m/s

After 30.0s the rocket will continue to ascend with a velocity of 75 m/s. This velocity will be gradually reduced due to the acceleration of gravity. When the velocity is zero, the rocket will start to fall. At that time, the rocket is at its maximum height. So, let's find the time at which the velocity of the rocket is zero:

v = v0 + g · t

0 = 75 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · t (v0 = 75 m/s because the rocket begins its free-fall motion with that velocity).

-75 m/s / -9.8 m/s² = t

t = 7.7 s

Now, let's find the height of the rocket 7.7 s after the engines fail:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

The rocket begins its free fall at a height of 1125 m and with a velocity 75 m/s, then, h0 = 1125 m and v0 = 75 m/s:

h = 1125 m + 75 m/s · 7.7 s - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (7.7 s)²

h = 1412 m

The highest point reached by the rocket is 1412 m

b) Now, let's calculate how much time it takes the rocket to reach a height of zero (i.e. to crash) from a height of 1412 m.

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t² (v0 = 0 because at the maximum height the velocity is zero)
