Explanation:
003 (part 1 of 2)
Pressure is force divided by area.
P = F / A
P = (117 kg × 9.8 m/s²) / (2 × (0.05 m)²)
P = 229,320 Pa
003 (part 2 of 2)
There are approximately 6895 Pa in 1 psi.
P = 229,320 Pa × (1 psi / 6895 Pa)
P = 33.3 psi
004 (part 1 of 2)
Since the collisions are elastic, the angle of reflection is the same as the angle of incidence (it bounces off at the same angle).
Impulse = change in momentum
F Δt = m Δv
F (36 s) = (300 × 0.003 kg) (5.2 sin 57° m/s − (-5.2 sin 57° m/s))
F = 0.218 N
004 (part 2 of 2)
Pressure is force over area.
P = F / A
P = 0.218 N / 0.712 m²
P = 0.306 N/m²
