As a woman walks, her entire weight is momentarily placed on one heel of her high-heeled shoes. Calculate the pressure exerted o

n the floor by the heel if it has an area of 1.43 cm2 and the woman's mass is 60.5 kg. Express the pressure in pascals. (In the early days of commercial flight, women were not allowed to wear high-heeled shoes because aircraft floors were too thin to withstand such large pressures.)

Answer:

4.15 x 10^6 N

Explanation:

Area, A = 1.43 cm^2 = 1.43 x 10^-4 m^2

mass, m = 60.5 kg

Weight, F = m g = 60.5 x 9.8 = 592.9 N

Pressure = Force / Area

P = Weight / Area

P = 592.9 / (1.43 x 10^-4)

P = 4.15 x 10^6 N

Answer:

Vrel_jon's = 15 [m/s] to the right

Explanation:

Relative velocity is defined as the relative motion between two bodies, taking into account the directions of motion.

Relative velocity is defined as the relative motion between two bodies, taking into account the directions of motion. The relative velocity is defined as the algebraic sum of the velocities, if the movements are opposite the vectors are subtracted, as will be done below.

Vrel = 20 - 5 = 15 [m/s]

A person watching Jon sees him moving to the right at a speed of 15 [m/s]

A/An _____ is described as a device used to store electrical energy, usually two conductors separated by an insulator.
Daniel [21]

Answer: A capacitor.

Explanation:

The capacitor is a passive element that is used in electronics to store electrical energy maintaining an electrical field. The simpler case of a capacitor is the parallel plates capacitor.

It consists of two parallel metal plates separated by a distance D, in this case, the air between the plates works as a dielectric, as the plates do not touch each other and are separated by a dielectric, the charge is stored in the surface plates.

There are a lot of other types of capacitors, the most used in actuality may be the cylindrical one, where instead of parallel plates, it uses two concentric cylinders, and the space between the cylinders is filled with a dielectric/insulator.

Which list of properties of alternation current is the most likely reason it was chosen over direct current to provide electrici
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

- Direct current is a current in which electrons flow in one direction only

- Alternating current is a current in which the direction of the electron flow reverses periodically - so, half a cycle forward, half a cycle backward

There are several advantages of using alternating currents for the transmission of electricity across a country, over large distances. The main advantages are:

- The voltage of alternating currents can be easily increased/decreased by using transformers. For instance, a transformer is used at the beginning of the transmission line to increase the voltage (electricity is transmitted at high voltage in order to reduce dissipated power), and then another transformer is used before the electricity enters the houses, in order to decrease the voltage. Transformers only work with alternating currents.

- It is easy to interrupt the flow of an alternating current, because its value naturally becomes zero every half a cycle, so this is useful in case the current must be interrupted.
