Answer:

Pressure of woman will be 99.87\times 10^5N/m^2

Pressure of the elephant will be 1716560.50N/m^2

Explanation:

We have given that mass of the woman m = 80 kg

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

Diameter of shoes = 1 cm =0.01 m

So radius r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.01}{2}=0.005m

So area A=\pi r^2=3.14\times 0.005^2=7.85\times 10^{-5}m^2

We know that force is given  F = mg

So F=80\times 9.8=784N

Now we know that pressure is given by P=\frac{F}{A}=\frac{784}{7.85\times 10^{-5}}=99.87\times 10^5N/m^2

Now mass of elephant m = 5500 kg

So force of elephant = 5500×9.8 = 53900 N

Diameter = 20 cm

So radius r = 10 cm

So area will be A=3.14\times 0.1^2=0.0314m^2

So pressure will be P=\frac{53900}{0.0314}=1716560.50N/m^2

A .5kg bird is perched on its nest so that it has 50J of potential energy. how far is it off the of the ground?
pshichka [43]

It is 10.20 m from the ground.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>Given:</u>

m = 0.5 kg

PE = 50 J

We know that the Potential energy is calculated by the formula:

P. E = m \times g \times h

where m is the is mass in kg;  g  is acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s  and  h  is height in meters.

PE is the Potential Energy.

Potential Energy is the amount of energy stored when an object is stationary.

Here, if we substitute the values in the formula, we get

P. E = m \times g \times h

50 = 0.5 × 9.8 × h

50 = 4.9 × h

h = \frac {50} {4.9}

h = 10.20 m

What motion makes the acceleration unchanged?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The acceleration is equal to the net force divided by the mass. If the net force acting on an object doubles, its acceleration is doubled. If the mass is doubled, then acceleration will be halved. If both the net force and the mass are doubled, the acceleration will be unchanged.

What is the weight of a 4.2 kg bowling ball on Mars?
Nataliya [291]

What is the weight of a 4.2 kg bowling ball on Mars?

Answer:

1.59 kg

Explanation:

The formula is:

<u>F = G((Mm)/r2) </u>

F is the gravitational force between two objects,

G is the Gravitational Constant (6.674×10-11 Newtons x meters2 / kilograms2),

M is the planet's mass (kg),

m is your mass (kg), and

r is the distance (m) between the centers of the two masses (the planet's radius).

Hope this helps
