the sole of a tennis shoe has a surface area of 0.0290 m^2. if it is worn by a 65.0 kg person, what pressure does the shoe exert

on the ground?

Answer: 21965.517 Pa

Explanation:

Pressure P is the force F exerted by a gas, a liquid or a solid on a surface (or area) A, its unit is Pascal Pa which is equal to N/m^{2} and its formula is:  

P=\frac{F}{A} (1)

In this case we have the surface of a sole of a tennis shoe:

A=0.0290 m^{2} (2)

And the mass m of the person who wears it:

m=65 kg

On the other hand, we know the weight is the force  F the Earth exerts on people and objects due gravity g :

F=m.g=(65 kg)(9.8m/^{2})

F=637N (3)

Substituting (2) and (3) in (1):

P=\frac{637N}{0.0290 m^{2}} (4)

Finally:

P=21965.517 Pa This is the pressure the shoe exert on the ground

What temperature is required to transfer waste heat to the environment for a heat engine to be 100 percent efficient?
OLEGan [10]
This can be seen as a trick question because heat engines can typically never be 100 percent efficient. This is due to the presence of inefficiencies such as friction and heat loss to the environment. Even the best heat engines can only go up to around 50% efficiency.

In the vertical columns of the periodic table:
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

C. The number of shells increases from top to bottom

Explanation:

There are some trends about the periodic table, one of them is that in the vertical columns of periodic table, the number of shells increases from top to bottom.

From top to bottom in a periodic table, the number of electrons increases, thus more number of shells are needed to fill these electrons and the number of shells increases or we can say the atomic radius increases from top to bottom.

Hence, the correct option is "C".

The horizontal motion of a launched projectile affects its vertical motion.
Talja [164]

The horizontal motion of a launched projectile affects its vertical motion is false

Answer: False

<u>Explanation: </u>

As the trajectory falls on a plane, all the components like displacement, velocity can be classified in two components termed as horizontal and vertical component.

In a projectile motion, the horizontal components of displacement and velocity remains constant and there is change only in the vertical component of displacement and velocity.

Both components are not dependent to each other. So, the horizontal motions of a launched projectile does not affect its vertical motion.
