When you hold a rectangular object how does the area of the side that is resting on your hand affects the pressure and the force

that the object exerts
Physics

Naily [24]3 years ago

Answer:

A rectangular object may have different areas for different sides.

If that object is placed on a hand, the area of its side does not affects the Force. However the pressure it puts on the hand is affected by the area.

Explanation:

The Force that object applies on the hand is given as the product of its mass and gravitational acceleration 'g'. Hence area does not affect the Force and it is constant.

F = mg

Pressure is defined as the Force per unit area.

P = F/A

As the surface area decreases and Force remains constant, the pressure on the hand increases and vice versa.

552000 in scientific notation
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
5.52 × 10 to the 5th power (100000)  . In scientific notation you need to have a decimal numver times 10 to the power of something so you can divide 552000 by 10  5  times. So in order to get 552000 you need to have 10 to the 4th power and 5.52

You walk into a darkened room and turn on a flashlight. You see an image of the flashlight reflecting off a plane mirror in fron
user100 [1]

Answer:

4.2 is the answer

Explanation

The image formed in a plane mirror is an equal distance behind the mirror as the object in front of it.

Step 1: the equation to this problem would be: 8.4/2

Step 2: 8.4 ÷ 2 = 4.2

If you can swim in still water at 0.5m/s, the shortest time it would take you to swim from bank to bank across a 20m wide river,
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

t=40s,

Explanation:

If you can swim in still water at 0.5m/s, the shortest time it would take you to swim from bank to bank across a 20m wide river, if the water flows downstream at a rate of 1.5m/s, is most nearly:

from the question the swimmer will have a velocity which is equal to the sum of the speed of the water and the velocity to swi across the bank

Vt=v1+v2

the time is takes to swim across the bank will be

DY=Dv*t

DY=distance across the bank

Dv=ther velocity of the swimmer across the bank

t=20/ 0.5m/s,

t=40s, time it takes to swim across the bank

velocity is the rate of displacement

displacement is distance covered in a specific direction
