People then didn't really think about gravity, they simply accept the fact that it exists, without realising. View this from another angle. When a teacher explains something in the classroom, most of the time we simply accept it, without asking why. That right there, is acceptance. We simply accept it. Everyone would know that if they let go of something, it would drop. However, only Isaac Newton stopped to question why. Hope this helps :)

The gauge pressure inside an alveolus with a 200 µm radius is 25 mmHg, while the blood pressure outside is only 10 mmHg. Assumin
alekssr [168]

Answer:

The surface tension is 0.0318 N/m and is sufficiently less than the surface tension of the water.

Solution:

As per the question:

Radius of an alveolus, R = 200\mu m = 200\times 10^{- 6}\ m

Gauge Pressure inside, P_{in} = 25\ mmHg

Blood Pressure outside, P_{o} = 10\ mmHg

Now,

Change in pressure, \Delta P = 25 - 10 = 15\ mmHg = 1.99\times 10^{3}\ Pa

Since the alveolus is considered to be a spherical shell

The surface tension can be calculated as:

\Delta P = \frac{4\pi T}{R}

T = \frac{1.99\times 10^{3}\times 200\times 10^{- 6}}{4\pi} = 0.0318\ N/m = 0.318\ mN/m

And we know that the surface tension of water is 72.8 mN/m

Thus the surface tension of the alveolus is much lesser as compared to the surface tension of water.

An object weighing 49 N is pushed across a floor by a force of 12 N. What is the acceleration of the object?
NISA [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of object  = 49N

Force applied = 12N

Unknown:

Acceleration of object  = ?

Solution:

The acceleration of the object is found by dividing the force by the weight;

 Acceleration  = \frac{12}{49}   = 0.25m/s²
