<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 car moving west slows down from a velocity of 50 m/s to 20 m/s in 15 seconds. What is its acceleration?
velikii [3]
Vf = Vo + at

Vf = 20 m/s
Vo = 50 m/s
a = ? 
t = 15

Therefore

20 = 50 + 15a

20 - 50 = 15a

-30 = 15a

a = -30 / 15

a = -2 m/s²
