For the answer to the question above, we have to use this formula
Pressure = P = force / area 
Then, just substitute the values of the formula
force = mg = 2(10) = 20 N 

area = A = 1 cm² = [1 x 10 ̄ ²]² m² 


=> P = 20 N / [1 x 10 ̄ ²]² = 200 x 10³ Pa 

= 200 kPa 
I hope my answer helped you. Have a nice day!

A tall tree has more chances to break during the strom why?​
S_A_V [24]

Explanation:

Trees, because of their height, are natural lightning rods. Electricity seeks the path of least resistance, and the moisture inside a tree is a much better conductor than air. This means a tree provides the preferred path for lightning to reach the ground.

Estimate the number of atoms in 1 cm^3 of a solid
dexar [7]
Avogadro's number: 6.02 x 10^23 atoms is present in 1mol of a solid (i.e. 22, 400 cm3)

Hence, in 1 cm3, 6.02 x 10^23 /22400 atoms is present = 2 x 10 ^ 19 atoms.

Coherent microwaves of wavelength 5.00 cm enter a tall, narrow window in a building otherwise essentially opaque to the microwav
zzz [600]
The solution for this problem is:

For 1st minimum, let m be equal to 1. 

d = slit width

D = screen distance. 

Θ = arcsin (m * lambda/ (d))


= 0.13934 rad, 7.9836 deg 

y = D*tan (Θ)

y = 6.50 * tan (7.9836)

= 0.91161 m is the distance from the central maximum to the first-order minimum

What mechanism of energy is transferred by mass motion of fluid from one region of space to another?​
lora16 [44]
Convection, because it is the process of heat transfer from one location to the next by the movement of fluids. The moving fluid carries energy within it.

A pulling force is called what?<br> A. normal<br> B. tension<br> C. balanced<br> D. compression
joja [24]
<span>There is no special name for that. Physics is usually just concerned with "forces", and doesn't specify whether the force pushes or pulls. If you want to be more specific, you can just call it a "pulling force".
I hoped this was satisfying!:)</span>
