As a woman walks, her entire weight is momentarily placed on one heel of her high-heeled shoes. Calculate the pressure exerted o

n the floor by the heel if it has an area of 1.50 cm2 and the woman’s mass is 55.0 kg. Express the pressure in Pa. (In the early days of commercial flight, women were not allowed to wear high-heeled shoes because aircraft floors were to

Answer:

3.6 x 10⁶ Pa

Explanation:

A = Area of the heel = 1.50 cm² = 1.50 x 10⁻⁴ m²

m = mass of the woman = 55.0 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Force of gravity on the heel is given as

F = mg

Inserting the values

F = (55) (9.8)

F = 539 N

Pressure exerted on the floor is given as

P = \frac{F}{A}

P = \frac{539}{1.5\times 10^{-4}}

P = 3.6 x 10⁶ Pa

A projectile is launched straight up from a height of 960 feet with an initial velocity of 64 ft/sec. Its height at time t is h(
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

a) t=2s

b) h_{max}=1024ft

c) v_{y}=-256ft/s

Explanation:

From the exercise we know the initial velocity of the projectile and its initial height

v_{y}=64ft/s\\h_{o}=960ft\\g=-32ft/s^2

To find what time does it take to reach maximum height we need to find how high will it go

b) We can calculate its initial height using the following formula

Knowing that its velocity is zero at its maximum height

v_{y}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2g(y-y_{o})

0=(64ft/s)^2-2(32ft/s^2)(y-960ft)

y=\frac{-(64ft/s)^2-2(32ft/s^2)(960ft)}{-2(32ft/s^2)}=1024ft

So, the projectile goes 1024 ft high

a) From the equation of height we calculate how long does it take to reach maximum point

h=-16t^2+64t+960

1024=-16t^2+64t+960

0=-16t^2+64t-64

Solving the quadratic equation

t=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

a=-16\\b=64\\c=-64

t=2s

So, the projectile reach maximum point at t=2s

c) We can calculate the final velocity by using the following formula:

v_{y}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2g(y-y_{o})

v_{y}=±\sqrt{(64ft/s)^{2}-2(32ft/s^2)(-960ft)}=±256ft/s

Since the projectile is going down the velocity at the instant it reaches the ground is:

v=-256ft/s

To aid in the prevention of tooth decay, it is recommended that drinking water contain 0.800 ppm fluoride, F−. How many grams of
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

2.23 × 10^6 g of F- must be added to the cylindrical reservoir in order to obtain a drinking water with a concentration of 0.8ppm of F-

Explanation:

Here are the steps of how to arrive at the answer:

The volume of a cylinder = ((pi)D²/4) × H

Where D = diameter of the cylindrical reservoir = 2.02 × 10^2m

H = Height of the reservoir = 87.32m

Therefore volume of cylindrical reservoir = (3.142×202²/4)m² × 87.32m = 2798740.647m³

1ppm = 1g/m³

0.8ppm = 0.8 × 1g/m³

= 0.8g/m³

Therefore to obtain drinking water of concentration 0.8g/m³ in a reservoir of volume 2798740.647m³, F- of mass = 0.8g/m³ × 2798740.647m³ = 2.23 × 10^6 g must be added to the tank.

Thank you for reading.

Two waves meet and overlap. The first wave has an amplitude of 4.6 centimeters and the second wave has an amplitude of 2 centime
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The amplitude of resultant wave as the result of  overlap of two waves depends upon the phase difference between the two.  If the waves meet crest to trough , the phase difference is 180 degree or they are in opposite phase . Hence they will destroy each other . The amplitude of resultant wave can be obtained by subtracting the amplitudes of two waves. They will interfere destructively.

Amplitude of resultant gives waves = 4.6 - 2 = 2.6 cm.

Unpolarized light of intensity I=10 falls on two successive polarizer wheels with the angle between the polarizer wheels e-60°.
yan [13]

Answer:

I=\frac{10}{4}

Explanation:

A polarizer changes the orientation of the oscillations of a light wave.

I₀ = Intensity of unpolarized light = 10

θ = Angle given to the polarizer = 60°

Intensity of light

I = I₀cos²θ

⇒I = 10cos²60

\\\Rightarrow I=10\times \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{10}{4}

So, the after passing through the second polarizer is \mathbf{\frac{10}{4}}
