Answer:

The answer is Newton.

Explanation:

In order to determine the unit that it is not used to measure pressure, we have to define the units for every option and then compare them.

Torr (symbol: Torr): is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale, now defined as exactly 1/760 of a standard atmosphere (≈ 133.32 Pa).

Newton (symbol: N) is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force.

Atmosphere (symbol: atm): the standard atmosphere is a unit of pressure defined as 101325 Pa (1.013 bar)

Milimeter of mercury (symbol: mmHg): is a manometric unit of pressure, formerly defined as the extra pressure generated by a column of mercury one millimetre high, and currently defined as exactly 133.32 Pa.

Therefore, the physics unit that not represent a pressure measure is Newton.

What is the hang time when the person moves 6 m horizontally during a 1.25 m high jump?

AlekseyPX

Answer:

1 sec

Explanation:

Horizontal distance (x) = 6m

Vertical distance (y) = 1.25m

Hang time is the duration the object is in the air before it reaches maximum height.

The time of free fall is given by

t = √2y/g

g = acceleration due to gravity

t = √(2*1.25)/9.8

t = √2.5/9.8

t = 0.5secs

Hang time = 2*0.5

= 1 sec

How much support force does a table exert on a book that weighs 15 N when the book is placed on the table?

mestny [16]

Answer:

15 N

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This reaction is equal in magnitude to the force acting but in an opposite direction.

Now, if the book weighs 15 N, an opposite equal force will be: N = -15 N

But the magnitude of this will be the absolute value which is 15N.

If an object accelerates from rest, with a constant of 8 m/s2, what will its velocity be after 35s?

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

<em>Its speed will be 280 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the speed of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

If a is the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, vf can be calculated as:

$v_f=v_o+at$

The object accelerates from rest (vo=0) at a constant acceleration of $a=8\ m/s^2$ . The final speed at t=35 seconds is:

$v_f=0+8*35$

$v_f=280\ m/s$

Its speed will be 280 m/s

A pickup truck is traveling down the highway at a steady speed of 30.1 m/s. The truck has a drag coefficient of 0.45 and a cross

Sav [38]

Answer:

The energy that the truck lose to air resistance per hour is 87.47MJ

Explanation:

To solve this exercise it is necessary to compile the concepts of kinetic energy because of the drag force given in aerodynamic bodies. According to the theory we know that the drag force is defined by

$F_D=\frac{1}{2}\rhoC_dAV^2$
