Answer:

The force in this setting is called <em>centripetal</em>.

Explanation:

While the centripetal force acts in the direction pointing toward the center of the curvature (in this case the center of the merry-go-around), the foce opposing it is referred to as centrifugal.

Where does salt in the ocean come from
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Salt in the ocean comes from two sources: runoff from the land and openings in the seafloor. Rocks on land are the major source of salts dissolved in seawater. Rainwater that falls on land is slightly acidic, so it erodes rocks.

A hammer exerts 49.8 N of force on the head (r=0.00510 m) of a nail. How much pressure does it exert on the nail?
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

609547.12 Pa ≈ 6.10×10^5 Pa

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question. This include the following:

Force (F) = 49.8 N

Radius (r) = 0.00510 m

Pressure (P) =..?

Step 2:

Determination of the area of the head of the nail.

The head of a nail is circular in nature. Therefore, the area is given by:

Area (A) = πr²

With the above formula we can obtain the area as follow:

Radius (r) = 0.00510 m

Area (A) =?

A = πr²

A = π x (0.00510)²

A = 8.17×10^-5 m²

Therefore the area of the head of the nail is 8.17×10^-5 m²

Step 3:

Determination of the pressure exerted by the hammer.

This is illustrated below:

Force (F) = 49.8 N

Area (A) = 8.17×10^-5 m²

Pressure (P) =..?

Pressure (P) = Force (F) /Area (A)

P = F/A

P = 49.8/8.17×10^-5

P = 609547.12 N/m²

Now, we shall convert 609547.12 N/m² to Pa.

1 N/m² = 1 Pa

Therefore, 609547.12 N/m² = 609547.12 Pa.

Therefore, the pressure exerted by the hammer on the nail is 609547.12 Pa or 6.10×10^5 Pa

In a simple electric circuit, a 110-volt electric heater
Readme [11.4K]

Answer: 55 ohms

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage of heater (v) = 110-volt

Current drawn by heater (I) = 2.0 amperes

resistance of the heater (r) = ?

Since voltage, current and resistance are involved, apply the formula for ohms law.

Voltage = current x resistance

i.e v = ir

where r = v / i

r = 110 volts / 2.0 A

r = 55 ohms

Thus, the resistance of the heater is 55 ohms
