Pressure is force per unit area or p=f/a. The pressure at the bottom of the ocean =weight of overlying water /1m^2. Think of it as the weight of a column of water 1 meter square sitting on the ocean floor. so the correct answer is "C".

A ball is thrown upward from the top of a building at an angle of 30.0° to the horizontal and with
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Vertical position = 45 +  20 sin (30) t  - 4.9 t^2

 when it hits ground this = 0

               0 = -4.9t^2 + 20 sin (30 ) t + 45

                0 = -4.9t^2 + 10 t +45 = 0     solve for t =4.22 sec

  max height is at  t= - b/2a = 10/9.8 =1.02

     use this value of 't' in the equation to calculate max height = 50.1 m

      it has  4.22 - 1.02 to free fall = 3.2 seconds free fall

           v = at = 9.81 * 3.2 = 31.39 m/s VERTICAL

      it will <u>also</u> still have horizontal velocity =  20 cos 30 = 17.32 m/s

        total velocity will be sqrt ( 31.39^2 + 17.32^2) = 35.85 m/s

Horizontal range = 20 cos 30  * t  =  20 *  cos 30  * 4.22 = 73.1 m

An engineer is designing a spring to be placed at the bottom of an elevator shaft. If the elevator cable should happen to break
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Value that the spring constant k = 12Mg / h

Explanation:

According to 2nd law of Newton:

upward force of the spring= F

The weight of the elevator W = mg

            F = Mg = M(5g)

==> F =6Mg.

As the spring is compressed to its maximum distance ie s,the maximum upward acceleration comes just , Hence

  F =ks = 6Mg

==>   s = 6Mg/k

We have gravitational potential energy turning into elastic potential of the spring as the elevator starts at the top some distance h from the spring, and undergoes a total change in height equal to h + s, so:

            Mg(h+s) = 1/2ks2

And plugging in our expression for s:

         Mg(h+6Mg/k)= 1/2k(6Mg / k)2

          gh + 6M2g2/k = 1/2k(36M2g2 /k2)

        Mgh +6M2g2/k = 1/2k(36M2g2 /k2)

             gh + 6Mg2/k = 18Mg2 / k

                             gh = 12Mg2 / k

                               h = 12Mg / k

                               k = 12Mg / h

What is the magnitude of the largest net force that can be produced by combining a force of 6.0 N
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

10N

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the resultant is expressed as;

R = √F1²+F2²

F1 and F2 are the forces

Given

F1 = 6.0N

F2 = 8.0N

R = √6²+8²

R = √36+64

R = √100

R = 10.0N

Hence the magnitude of the net force is 10N
