Answer:

2870 N

Explanation:

There are three forces on the mattress.  Weight of the mattress, weight of the person, and buoyancy.

∑F = ma

B - mg - Mg = 0

Buoyancy is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.

ρVg - mg - Mg = 0

ρV - m = M

Plugging in values:

M = (1000 kg/m³) (0.75 m × 2.25 m × 0.175 m) - 2 kg

M = 293 kg

The person's weight is therefore:

Mg = 293 kg × 9.8 m/s²

Mg = 2870 N

max2010maxim [7]

Explanation:

Watts are defined as 1 Watt = 1 Joule per second (1W = 1 J/s)

which means that 1 kW = 1000 J/s. A Watt is the amount of energy (in Joules) that an electrical device (such as a light) is burning per second that it's running.

Which pair of quantities includes one quantity that increases as the other decreases during simple harmonic motion?
11111nata11111 [884]

Kinetic energy and potential energy pair is the quantity in which one will increase then other will decrease

As we know that sum of kinetic energy and potential energy will always remain conserved

So here we will have

KE + PE = constant

so here as we move away from mean position the kinetic energy will decrease while at the same time potential energy will increase.

So the pair of potential energy and kinetic energy will satisfy the above condition

A boy weighing 50 kg is running at 2m/s. What is its kinetic energy? *<br> 10 points
pentagon [3]
The answer is 100.
The formula is KE = 1/2mv^2
Then you plug in 50 to the m
And 2 to the v . That’s how I got 100 .
Hope this helps

In a car lift used in a service station, compressed air exerts a force on a small piston that has a circular cross section and a
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

a) F₁ = 1.48 x 10³ N

b) P = 1.88*10⁵ Pa

c) The work  is equal in both pistons

Explanation:

Pascal´s Principle can be applied in the hydraulic press:

If we apply a small force (F₁) on a small area piston (A₁), then, a pressure (P) is generated that is transmitted equally to all the particles of the liquid until it reaches a larger area piston and therefore a force (F₂) can be exerted that is proportional to the area(A₂) of the piston.

Pressure is defined as the force per unit area:

P=\frac{F}{A}  Formula (1)

P₁=P₂

\frac{F_{1} }{A_{1} } =\frac{F_{2} }{A_{2} } Formula (2)

Data

r₁= 5 cm = 0.05 m

r₂= 15 cm = 0.15 m

F₂=  13300N

Area of the pistons (A₁,A₂)

A=π*r² : Area of the circle

A₁ = π*(0.05)²=7.85*10⁻³ m²

A₂= π*(0.15)²= 70.69*10⁻³ m²

a) Force that compressed air must exert to lift a car weighing 13300 N

We replace data in the formula (2)

\frac{F_{1} }{A_{1} } =\frac{F_{2} }{A_{2} }

F_{1} = \frac{13300*7.85*10^{-3} }{70.69*10^{-3} }

F₁ =  1.48 x 10³ N

b) Air pressure produced by F₁

We replace data in the formula (1)

P=\frac{F}{A}

F₁ =  1.48 x 10³ N , A₁ = 7.85*10⁻³ m²

P=\frac{1.48*10^{3} }{7.85*10^{-3} }

P= 1.88*10⁵ Pa

c)The volume of liquid displaced by the small piston is distributed in a thin layer on the large piston, so that the product of the force by the displacement (the work) is equal in both pistons.
