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

A parallel-plate capacitor has plates of area 0.40 m2 and plate separation of 0.20 mm. The capacitor is connected to a 9.0 V bat
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

a) E = 4.5*10⁴ V/m

b) C= 17.7 nF

c) Q = 159. 3 nC  

Explanation:

a)

  • By definition, the electric field is the electrostatic force per unit charge, and since the potential difference between plates is just the work done by the field, divided by the charge, assuming a uniform electric field, if V is the potential difference between plates, and d is the separation between plates, the electric field can be expressed as follows:

       E = \frac{V}{d} = \frac{9.0V}{2*10-4m} =4.5 * 10e4 V/m (1)

b)

  • For a parallel-plate capacitor, applying the definition of capacitance as the quotient between the charge on one of the plates and the potential difference between them, and assuming a uniform surface charge density σ, we get:

       Q = \sigma* A (2)

        From (1), we know that V = E*d, but at the same time, applying Gauss'

        Law at a closed surface half within the plate, half outside it , it can be

        showed than E= σ/ε₀, so finally we get:

       C = \frac{Q}{V} =\frac{\sigma*A}{E*d}  = \frac{\sigma*A}{\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_{o} } d} =\frac{\epsilon_{0}*A}{d} = \frac{8.85e-12F/m*0.4m2}{2e-4m} = 17.7 nF (3)

c)    

  • From (3) we can solve for Q as follows:

       Q = C* V = 17.7 nF * 9.0 V = 159.3 nC  (4)

The first runner because it is very clear that accelarition depends on the time and we know that the time in this case is pretty simple

When a wave strikes a new medium, three things can happen: reflection, transmission, and absorption. Consider an echo. Do you th
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

YES

Explanation:

An echo may be defined as a sound which is repeated because of the sound waves that are produced are reflected back after striking a surface. Sound waves can smoothly bounce off the hard objects in the same manner as a rubber ball bounces back the ground.

When a sound wave strikes a hard surface, the sound waves gets reflected back and bounces back to the observer and produces an echo. If the sound waves strikes a soft surface it absorbs the sound.

Although the direction of a sound changes but the echo sounds in the same way as the original sound.

How do you know that light travels faster than
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer

How about a thunder storm. I don't know if you live in a city or out in the sticks as I do. Lighting is very obvious and it is not a good idea to be out when experiencing a thunderstorm, especially in an open field. You might be the only thing around that will cause the lightning to be connected to the ground.#  Seconds later, you will hear the thunder which is quite harmless. If you live in the city, observing this is not quite so easy. There are all kinds of buildings around and some of them may block your view.

#The great golfer, Lee Travino, was "hit" by lightening storm twice while playing in tournaments.
