Interactive Solution 11.13 presents a model for solving this problem. A solid concrete block weighs 100 N and is resting on the

ground. Its dimensions are 0.400 m x 0.250 m x 0.130 m. A number of identical 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

Answer:

The value is }  N  =  66 \  blocks

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The weight of the block is W_b  = 100 \  N

The dimension of the block is d =  0.400 m  \ X  \ 0.250 \  m  \  X  \ 0.130 \ m

Generally two atmosphere is equivalent to

P_{2atm} =  2 *  1.013 *10^{5} =  202600 \  N/m^2

Generally 1 atm = 1.013 *10^{5} N/m^2

The area of the block would be evaluated using width and height because we need for the smaller surface to be in contact with the ground in order to maximize the pressure and minimize number of blocks

So

A =  0.250 *  0.130

=> A =  0.0325 \  m^2

Generally the force due to this blocks is mathematically represented as

F =  N  *  W_b

Here N is the number of blocks

So

}  202600 =  \frac{N  *  100 }{ 0.0325}

=>   }  N  =  66 \  blocks

A 10 kg brick and a 1 kg book are dropped in a vacuum. The force of gravity on the 10 kg brick is what?
Nadya [2.5K]
<span>10 times as much. Since F=m*a, and a is constant, the only thing that affects force is the mass.

In response to the below answer, the acceleration due to gravity does not change. The force due to gravity definitely DOES change depending on the mass of the object. Since the force is what the problem asks for, the answer is 10</span>

Feathers and a bowling ball are dropped in a vacuum, airless environment. Which one will hit the ground first?
Reil [10]

Answer: at the same time

Explanation: in a vacuum, there isnt air, right? so there isnt gravity pushing down on the heavier object, so they will both land at the same time.

good? :)

A volcano launches a lava bomb straight upward with an initial speed of 28m/s. Taking upward to be the positive direction,find s
lara31 [8.8K]
<span>The equation to be used here would be:

v = u - gt
 where u is the initial speed, g is the acceleration due to gravity and t is the time it takes

a) u = 28 m/s, g = 9.8 m/s^2, t = 2s
 
v = 28 m/s - 9.8 m/s^2 * 2s = 8.4 m/s after 2 s the lava bomb is still travelling upwards
 
b) u = 28 m/s g = 9.8 m/s^2 t = 3s
 
v = 28 m/s - 9.8 m/s^2 * 3s = -1.4 m/s after 3s the lave bomb is travelling downwards</span>
