Suppose an individual is lying on his stomach with sheets of paper stacked on his back. If each sheet of paper has a mass of 0.0

0350 kg and is the standard letter size of 8.5 in by 11 in ( 0.216 m by 0.279 m ), how many sheets must be stacked to produce a pressure on his back equal to atmospheric pressure (roughly 101325 Pa )

Answer:

N = 177843 sheets

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass;m = 0.0035 kg

Pressure; p = 101325 pa = 101325 N/m²

L = 0.279m

W = 0.216m

The weight of N sheets is N(mg)

Where;

m is the mass of one sheet

N is number of sheets

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

The pressure equals weight divided by the area on which the weight presses:

Thus,

p= F/A = Nmg/(L•W)

Therefore, making N the subject;

N = pLW/(mg)

N = 101325 x 0.279 x 0.216/ (0.0035 x 9.81)

N = 177843

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

3.71 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, since we are neglecting minor energy losses due to friction then we can express it as mgh=0.5mv^{2} since all the potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy

Making v the subject of the formula then v=\sqrt {2gh} and here m is the mass of the block, g is acceleration due to gravity, h is the height. Substituting 0.7 m for h and 9.81 for g then we obtain that v=\sqrt {2\times 9.81\times 0.7}=3.705941176 m/s\approx 3.71 m/s

The surface of the Sun has a temperature of about 5 800 K. If the radius of the Sun is 7 × 108 m, determine the power output of
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

a. 3.95\times10^{26}W

Explanation:

T = temperature of the surface of sun = 5800 K

r = Radius of the Sun = 7 x 10⁸ m

A = Surface area of the Sun

Surface area of the sun is given as

A = 4\pi r^{2} \\A = 4(3.14) (7\times10^{8})^{2}\\A = 6.2\times10^{18} m^{2}

e = Emissivity = 1

\sigma = Stefan's constant = 5.67 x 10⁻⁸ Wm⁻²K⁻⁴

Using Stefan's law, Power output of the sun is given as

P = \sigma e AT^{4} \\P = (5.67\times10^{-8}) (1) (6.2\times10^{18}) (5800)^{4}\\P = 3.95\times10^{26} W

Two pucks collide with each other. after the collision they do not stick together. is kinetic energy conserved in the collision?
miv72 [106K]
Since they do not stick after collision hence collision is elastic. In elastic collision, both momentum and kinetic energy is conserved because in this type of collision, first body deforms but then quickly regains its former shape and transfers its kinetic energy to the second pluck.
So kinetic energy is conserved.

A bolt is to be tightened with a torque of 7.0 N · m. If you have a wrench that is 0.55 m long, what is the least amount of forc
kodGreya [7K]

To solve this problem we will apply the given concept for torque which explains the relationship between the force applied and the distance to a given point. Mathematically this relationship is given as

\tau = F*d \rightarrow F = \frac{\tau}{d}

Where,

\tau = Torque

F = Force

d = Distance

Our values are given as,

\tau = 7.0Nm , d = 0.55m

Therefore replacing we have that the force is

F = \frac{7}{0.55}

F = 12.72N

Therefore the least amount of force that you must exert is 12.72N

A machine uses a force of 200N to do 20,000J of work in 20s. Find the distance the object moved and the power of the machine.
mamaluj [8]
The distance the object moved is 100 m
the power of the machine is 1000 watts

distance = work/force (because work = force x distance)
distance = 20000/200 = 100
power = work/ time
power = 20000/20 = 1000
