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

There are several information's already given in the question. Based on those given information's the answer can be easily deduced. 
First angle of depression = 18°33'
                                        = [18 + (33/60)] degree
                                        = 18.55 degrees
Second angle of depression = 51°33'
                                              = [51 + (33/60)] degrees
                                              = 51.55 degrees
Height of the lighthouse = 200 feet
Then
Distance traveled by the boat from when it
was first noticed until it stopped = (200/tan 18.55) - (200/tan 51.55)
                                                   = (200/0.3356) - (200/1.2594)
                                                   = 594.95 - 158.81
                                                   = 436.14 feet
I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

Describe different types of motion with examples. (4)
Illusion [34]

Answer:

a)

there r two types of motion, uniform and non-uniform

uniform means equal distance travelled at equal intervals of time

and non-uniform is exactly the opposite.

b)

quantities which can be represented by magnitude along r called scalar quantities such as speed.

quantities which need magnitude along with direction r called vector quantities such as velocity.

c)

velocity=10m/s

acceleration = u-v/s i.e initial final velocity - initial velocity upon time

acceleration= 0.2m/s sq

time= 30s

10 = displacement/time

10 = x/30

10 = 300

Answer is 300 meters - distance/displacement.
