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

Rank the vector combinations on the basis of their magnitude.
melomori [17]

I think this is about the 5th or 6th time I've seen this question
submitted to Brainly.  So far, nobody has yet given us any of
the rest of the question ... the part that tells us something about
the vectors, so that we have some way to know their magnitudes.
So far, nada.

How do you find the velocity after a collision
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

In a collision, the velocity change is always computed by subtracting the initial velocity value from the final velocity value. If an object is moving in one direction before a collision and rebounds or somehow changes direction, then its velocity after the collision has the opposite direction as before.
