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

The kinetic energy of a rotating body is generally written as K=12Iω2, where I is the moment of inertia. Find the moment of iner

stira [4]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

We have a mass $m$ revolving around an axis with an angular speed $\omega$ , the distance from the axis is $r$ . We are given:

$\omega = 10 [rad/s]\\r=0.5 [m]\\m=13[Kg]$

and also the formula which states that the kinetic rotational energy of a body is:

$K =\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$ .

Now we use the kinetic energy formula

$K =\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where $v$ is the tangential velocity of the particle. Tangential velocity is related to angular velocity by:

$v=\omega r$

After replacing in the previous equation we get:

$K =\frac{1}{2}m(\omega r)^2$

now we have the following:

$K =\frac{1}{2}m(\omega r)^2 =\frac{1}{2}Iw^2$

therefore:

$mr^2=I$

then the moment of inertia will be:

$I = 13*(0.5)^2=3.25 [Kg*m^2]$

A 6.5 l sample of nitrogen at 25◦c and 1.5 atm is allowed to expand to 13.0 l. the temperature remains constant. what is the fin

ollegr [7]

Since the temperature of the gas remains constant in the process, we can use Boyle's law, which states that for a gas transformation at constant temperature, the product between the gas pressure and its volume is constant:
$pV=k$
which can also be rewritten as
$p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2$ (1)
where the labels 1 and 2 mark the initial and final conditions of the gas.

In our problem, $p_1 = 1.5 atm$ , $V_1 =6.5 L$ and $V_2 =13.0 L$ , so the final pressure of the gas can be found by re-arranging eq.(1):
$p_2 = p_1 \frac{V_1}{V_2}= (1.5 atm) \frac{6.5 L}{13.0 L}=0.75 atm$

Therefore the correct answer is
<span>1. 0.75 atm</span>

The distance between the centers of the wheels of a motorcycle is 146 cm. The center of mass ofthe motorcycle, including the rid

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

9.12267515924 m/s²

Explanation:

Here the moment created by the wheels and the moment created by the center of gravity will balance each other.

h = Height of the center of mass = 78.5 cm

d = Distance from back wheel to the center of mass = $\dfrac{146\times 10^{-2}}{2}\ m$

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

a = Horizontal acceleration

The equation is of the form

$mgd=Fh\\\Rightarrow mgd=mah\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{gd}{h}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{9.81\times \dfrac{146\times 10^{-2}}{2}}{78.5\times 10^{-2}}\\\Rightarrow a=9.12267515924\ m/s^2$

The horizontal acceleration of the motorcycle that will make the front wheel rise off the ground is 9.12267515924 m/s²

An object is moving to the west at a constant speed. three forces are exerted on the object. one force is 10 n directed due nort

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

If we want the object to continue to move at constant speed, it means that the resultant of the forces acting on the object must be zero. So far, we have:
- force F1 with direction north, of 10 N
- force F2 with direction west, of 10 N
The third force must balance them, in order to have a net force of zero on the object.

The resultant of the two forces F1 and F2 is
$F_{12} = \sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2}= \sqrt{(10 N)^2+(10 N)^2}= \sqrt{200}=14.1 N$
with direction at $45^{\circ}$ north-west. This means that F3 must be equal and opposite to this force: so, F3 must have magnitude 14.1 N and its direction should be $45^{\circ}$ south-east.
