A 79 kg person sits on a 3.7 kg chair. Each leg of the chair makes contact with the floor in a circle that is 1.3 cm in diameter

. Determine the pressure exerted on the floor by each leg of the chair, assuming all weight is evenly distributed.

I'll assume that the chair has four legs.

Since the chair weights 3.7 kg by itself, it will weigh (79+3.7)=82.7 kg with the person sitting on it. And each of the chair's legs will take about (82.7/4)=20.675 kg.

Each leg touches the floor in a circle with 1.3cm diameter. The area of that circle is about (3.14*(1.3/2)^2)=1.327 cm^2.

Pressure is measured by force per area. So, the pressure from each leg is about 20.675kg / 1.327cm^2. That simplifies to 15.58 kg/cm^2.

A box of mass 3.1kg slides down a rough vertical wall. The gravitational force on the box is 30N . When the box reaches a speed
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The box will be moving at 0.45m/s. The solution to this problem requires the knowledge and application of newtons second law of motion and the knowledge of linear motion. The vertical component of the force Fp acts vertically upwards against the directio of motion. This causes a constant upward force of 23sin45° to act on the box. Fhe frictional force of 13N also acts vertically upwards and so two forces act upwards against rhe force of gravity resulting un a net force of 0.7N acting kn the box. This corresponds to an acceleration of 0.225m/s². So in w.0s after i start to push v = 0.45m/s.

Explain the origin of the magnitude designation for determining the brightness of stars. Why does it seem to go backward, with s
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Hipparchus was an ancient Greek who classified stars based on the brightness in 129 B.C. He grouped the brightest stars and ranked them 1 (first magnitude) and dimmest stars as 6 (sixth magnitude). Thus, the smaller numbers indicated brighter stars. Now, the scale extends in negative axis as well. More the negative number, brighter is the star. For example, Sun has magnitude -26.74.

This the apparent magnitude which means the classification is based on the brightness of the star as it appears from the Earth.

For any molecule, formula unit, or ion, the sum of the average atomic masses of all the atoms represented in a formula is the.
alukav5142 [94]

The mass of a substance is given in atomic mass units and is calculated by adding the average atomic masses of all the atoms in the substance's chemical formula.

<h3>What empirical formula represents the total average atomic mass of every atom?</h3>

The Method The average atomic masses of all the atoms included in a formula's representation are added to get the mass of any molecule, formula unit, or ion. It has no bearing on the number of significant figures because the number of atoms is an exact quantity. One H2O molecule weighs 18.02 amu on average.

<h3>What connection exists between the empirical formula and the molecular formula?</h3>

You can determine the number of atoms of each element in a molecule using its molecular formula. These empirical formulations provide the most basic or reduced elemental ratio of a compound. The empirical formula and the molecular formula of a substance are same if the molecular formula can no longer be decreased.
