How a measuring scale measure our weight

Physics
1 answer:
Aloiza [94]3 years ago
5 0

Scales measure how much something weighs—and they do it by measuring how much force exists between the object you're weighing and planet Earth. Although scales measure force, they give you measurements of mass in kilograms, grams, pounds, or whatever.

11–8 Consider a heavy car submerged in water in a lake with a flat bottom. The driver’s side door of the car is 1.1 m high and 0
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Explanation:

position of centre of mass of door from surface of water

= 10 + 1.1 / 2

= 10.55 m

Pressure on centre of mass

atmospheric pressure + pressure due to water column

10 ⁵ + hdg

= 10⁵ + 10.55 x 1000 x 9.8

= 2.0339 x 10⁵ Pa

the net force acting on the door (normal to its surface)

= pressure at the centre x area of the door

= .9 x 1.1 x 2.0339 x 10⁵

= 2.01356 x 10⁵ N

pressure centre will be at 10.55 m below the surface.

When the car is filled with air or  it is filled with water , in both the cases pressure centre will lie at the centre of the car .

On another planet gravity has a value of 5.5 m/s . If an object is dropped how long will it take to fall 53 m?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

4.4 seconds

Explanation:

Given:

a = -5.5 m/s²

v₀ = 0 m/s

y₀ = 53 m

y = 0 m

Find: t

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

0 = 53 + 0 + ½ (-5.5) t²

0 = 53 − 2.75 t²

t = 4.39

Rounded to two significant figures, it takes 4.4 seconds for the object to land.

The __________ states that the firing rate of neurons in the auditory nerve matches the frequency of the sound wave.
borishaifa [10]

Correct answer choice is:

C. Volley principle (FREQUENCY MATCHING)

Explanation:

Volley theory declares that groups of neurons of the hearing rule counter to a noise by firing action potentials imperceptibly out of the stage with one another so that when connected, a higher pulse of sound can be encoded and transmitted to the brain to be examined.

A bicycle racer inflates their tires to 7.1 atm on a warm autumn afternoon when temperatures reached 27 °C. By morning the tempe
natulia [17]

Answer:

The required pressure is 6.4866 atm.

Explanation:

The given data : -

In the afternoon.

Initial pressure of tire ( p₁ ) = 7 atm = 7 * 101.325 Kpa =  709.275 Kpa

Initial temperature ( T₁ ) = 27°C = (27 + 273) K = 300 K

In the morning .

Final temperature ( T₂ ) = 5°C = ( 5 + 273 ) K = 278 K

Given that volume remains constant.

To find final pressure ( p₂ ).

Applying the ideal gas equation.

p * v = m * R * T

\frac{p}{T}  = constant

\frac{p_{1} }{T_{1} }  = \frac{p_{2} }{T_{2} }

p_{2}  = \frac{T_{2} }{T_{1} } *p_{1}  

p_{2}  = \frac{278}{300}  * 709.275  = 657.2615 Kpa = 6.486 atm
