A solid concrete block weighs 140 N and is resting on the ground. Its dimensions are 0.370 m x 0.150 m x 0.0820 m. A number of i

dentical blocks are stacked on top of this one. What is the smallest number of whole bricks (including the one on the ground) that can be stacked so that their weight creates a pressure of at least two atmospheres on the ground beneath the first block? (Hint: First decide which face of the brick is in contact with the ground.)

Answer: 18 blocks in total ( 17 add to the original in contact with the ground)

Explanation:

The pressure on the face in contact with the ground ( we choose the face 0.15m x 0.082m)

Pressure= Force ( weigth) /Area

1 Atm = 101325 Pascal [N/ m^2]

What are (a) the charge and (b) the charge density on the surface of a conducting sphere of radius 0.20 m whose potential is 240
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

(a) charge q=5.33 nC

(b) charge density σ=10.62 nC/m²

Explanation:

Given data

radius r=0.20 m

potential V=240 V

coulombs constant k=9×10⁹Nm²/C²

To find

(a) charge q

(b) charge density σ

Solution

For (a) charge q

As

V_{potential}=kq/r\\ q=rV_{potential}/k\\q=\frac{(0.20)(240)}{9*10^{9} }\\ q=5.333*10^{-9}C\\or\\ q=5.33nC

For (b) charge density

As charge density σ is given as:

σ=q/(4πR²)

σ=(5.333×10⁻⁹) / (4π×(0.20)²)

σ=10.62 nC/m²

Systems in nature tend to undergo changes toward___? Explain your answer.
IrinaK [193]

The correct answer is option 2. Systems, by nature, tend to undergo changes toward higher entropy and lower energy since this is the state where they are most stable. Entropy is the degree of disorderliness of a substance. Systems tend to go to higher disorder since systems always tend to change which can be linked to disorder and is inevitable.

Which paint can has greater potential energy after the painter carries it up the ladder? Why is this can's potential energy grea
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Paint can which is placed higher than other can will have more potential energy. Because according to the definition of the potential energy an object placed at some higher place when released to the ground will have greater impact than the one placed at some lower place. Painter can give the other can more potential energy by placing it at some height greater than the other cans.

Explanation:

To understand this, we need to understand the concept of potential energy.  

Let’s assume two objects A and B. If A is placed at 10 meters above the ground and if B is placed 20 meters above the ground then according to the definition of potential energy, object B will have greater potential energy.  

Similarly, in our question, we have paint cans, one is carried at some higher place through a ladder by the painter will have greater potential energy as compared to the one which is placed at ground.  

Paint can which is placed higher than other can will have more potential energy. Because according to the definition of the potential energy an object placed at some higher place when released to the ground will have greater impact than the one placed at some lower place. Painter can give the other can more potential energy by placing it at some height greater than the other cans.
