A box exerts 10,000 Pa of pressure on the ground. If the box weighs 1000 N, how much area is in contact with the ground?

Pressure = (total force) / (Area)

10,000 Pa = (1,000 N) / (Area)

Multiply each side by (Area) :

(10,000 Pa) x (Area) = 1,000 N

Divide each side by (10,000 Pa) :

Area = (1,000 N) / (10,000 Pa)

. A mass m is traveling at an initial speed of 25.0 m/s. It is brought to rest in a distance of 62.5 m by a net force of 15.0 N.

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

m = 3 kg

The mass m is 3 kg

Explanation:

From the equations of motion;

s = 0.5(u+v)t

Making t thr subject of formula;

t = 2s/(u+v)

t = time taken

s = distance travelled during deceleration = 62.5 m

u = initial speed = 25 m/s

v = final velocity = 0

Substituting the given values;

t = (2×62.5)/(25+0)

t = 5

Since, t = 5 the acceleration during this period is;

acceleration a = ∆v/t = (v-u)/t

a = (25)/5

a = 5 m/s^2

Force F = mass × acceleration

F = ma

Making m the subject of formula;

m = F/a

net force F = 15.0N

Substituting the values

m = 15/5

m = 3 kg

The mass m is 3 kg

A baseball hit just above the ground leaves the bat 27 m/s at 45° above the horizontal. A) How far away does the ball strike the

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

A) The ball hits the ground 74.45 m far from the hitting position.

B) Maximum height of the ball = 18.57 m

Explanation:

There are two types of motion in this horizontal and vertical motion.

We have velocity = 27 m/s at 45° above the horizontal

Horizontal velocity = 27cos45 = 19.09 m/s

Vertical velocity = 27sin45 = 19.09 m/s

Time to reach maximum height,

v = u + at

0 = 19.09 - 9.81 t

t = 1.95 s

So total time of flight = 2 x 1.95 = 3.90 s

A) So the ball travels at 19.09 m/s for 3.90 seconds.

Horizontal distance traveled = 19.09 x 3.90 = 74.45 m

So the ball hits the ground 74.45 m far from the hitting position.

B) We have vertical displacement

S = ut + 0.5 at²

H = 19.09 x 1.95 - 0.5 x 9.81 x 1.95² = 18.57 m

Maximum height of the ball = 18.57 m

A uniform disk, a thin hoop, and a uniform sphere, all with the same mass and same outer radius, are each free to rotate about a

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

4 hoop, disk, sphere

Explanation:

Because

We are given data that

Hoop, disk, sphere have Same mass and radius

So let

And Initial angular velocity, = 0

The Force on each be F

And Time = t

Also let

Radius of each = r

So let's find the inertia shall we!!

I1 = m r² /2

= 0.5 mr² the his is for dis

I2 = m r² for hoop

And

Moment of inertia of sphere wiil be

I3 = (2/5) mr²

= 0.4 mr²

ωf = ωi + α t

= 0 + ( τ / I ) t

= ( F r / I ) t

So we can see that

ωf is inversely proportional to moment of inertia.

And so we take the

Order of I ( least to greatest ) :

I3 (sphere) , I1 (disk) , I2 (hoop) , ,

Order of ωf: ( least to greatest)

That of omega xf is the reverse of inertial so

hoop, disk, sphere
