<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

B. The amount of pressure exerted by a solid is solely dependent on its mass.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Pressure is the force per unit area exerted by a substance on a surface.
  • <em><u>Solids exerts pressure on surfaces, which does not depend on the mass of the solid, but depends on the area of contact on the solid and the force applied.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Since pressure refers to force exerted per unit area. Pressure can be increased by either increasing the size of the force or reducing the area over which the force acts.</u></em>
  • <em><u>A solid with a larger surface area where the force acts will exert less pressure compared to a solid surface with a small area where the force acts. </u></em>

A dragster runs the quarter mile in 8.96 s. What is the car's velocity (in ft/s) at the finish line?
lara [203]
The first thing you should know to answer this question is the following conversion:
 1mi = 5280feet
 We have then that the speed is:
 v = ((1/4) * (5280)) / (8.96)
 v = 147.32 feet / s
 Answer:
 the car's velocity (in ft / s) at the finish line is 147.32 feet / s

What are allotropes? Give an example.
VARVARA [1.3K]
Allotropes are different forms of the same element. Different bonding arrangements between atoms result in different structures with different chemical and physical properties. Allotropes occur only with certain elements, in Groups 13 through 16 in the Periodic Table.

A 15kg dog jumps out of a 40kg canoe. If the dogs velocity is 1.2m/s, what is the velocity of the canoe?
vivado [14]

Answer:

v = -0.45 m/s

Explanation:

Assuming the canoe was initially at rest with momentum L = 0

and that the dog's velocity is in the positive direction

conservation of momentum

0 = 15(1.2) + 40v

v = -0.45 m/s

A 300 gg ball on a 70-cmcm-long string is swung in a vertical circle about a point 200 cmcm above the floor. The string suddenly
Ratling [72]

Answer:

the   tension in the string an instant before it broke = 34 N

Explanation:

Given that :

mass of the ball m = 300 g = 0.300 kg

length of the string r = 70 cm = 0.7 m

At highest point, law of conservation of energy can be expressed as :

\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = mgh\\\\v = \sqrt{2gh}\\\\v = \sqrt{2*(9.8 \  m/s^2)*(6.00 \ m - 2.00 \ m)}\\\\

v = 8.854 \ m/s

The tension in the string is:

T = \frac{mv^2}{r}\\\\T = \frac{(0.300 \ kg)*(8.854 \ m/s^2)}{0.70 \ m}\\\\T = 33.59 N\\\\T = 34 \ N

Thus, the   tension in the string an instant before it broke = 34 N
