Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply Pascal's law here to find the solution .According to this law if we apply a pressure on a particular area over an in-compressible liquid it gets transferred to other point inside or over the surface of the liquid without getting diminished.

in the present case force is applied on a car to crush it which is enormous in magnitude. This force is 20000 N, which is also called output force  Let the surface on which car is placed be A₂. We apply input force F₁ at other point over a small area be it A₁.

According to Pascal law ,

20000/ A₂ = F₁ / A₁

F₁ = 20000 X (A₁ / A₂)

= 20000 X 1/8

= 2500 N.

sledge (including load) weighs 5000 N. It is pulled on level snow by a dog team exerting ahorizontal force on it. The coefficient
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

2.5 x 10^{5} J

Explanation:

weight = 5,000 N

coefficient of friction = 0.05

distance = 1000 m

how much work is done by the dogs pulling the sledge

work done = force x coefficient of friction x distance

work done = 5000 x 0.05 x 1000 = 2.5 x 10^{5} J

A 38.5kg man is in an elevator accelerating downward. A normal force of 343n pushes up on him. what is his acceleration?
alexira [117]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 8.91 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{343}{38.5}  =  \frac{98}{11}  \\  = 8.909090...

We have the final answer as

<h3>8.91 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

When the electron in a hydrogen atom moves from n = 6 to n = 1, light with a wavelength of ________ nm is emitted?
Oduvanchick [21]
First we find the energy level with the following formula, where a is the energy level, n1 is the final energy level, n2 is the starting energy level and r is Rydberg's constant in Joules
a = r \times ( \frac{1}{n1}  -  \frac{1}{n2} )
We insert the values

a = 2.18 \times  {10}^{ - 18}  \times ( \frac{1}{ {1}^{2} } -  \frac{1}{ {6}^{2} }  )
= 2.12 \times {10}^{ - 18}
The wavelength is found with this formula, where h is Planck's constant and c is the speed of light
wavelength =  \frac{h \times c}{a}
Finally we insert the values
\frac{6.626 \times  {10}^{ - 34}  \times 3 \times  {10}^{8} }{2.12 \times  {10}^{ - 18} }  = 9.376 \times  {10}^{ - 8}
Which is the same as 93.8 nm

A 61 kg skater is traveling at 2.5 m/s while carrying a 4.0 kg bowling ball. After he throws the bowling ball forward at twice t
gregori [183]

The final velocity of the skater is 2.34 m/s forward

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum of the system before and after the ball is thrown must be conserved, in absence of external forces.

Before the ball is thrown, the total momentum is:

p_i = (M+m)u

where

M = 61 kg is the mass of the skater

m = 4.0 kg is the mass of the ball

u = 2.5 m/s (forward) is the combined velocity of the skater and the ball

After, the ball is thrown at twice the velocity, so the final total momentum is

p_f = MV+mv

where

V is the final velocity of the skater

v = 2(2.5) = 5.0 is the final velocity of the ball

Since the total momentum must be conserved, we can write

p_i = p_f\\(M+m)u = MV+mv\\V=\frac{(M+m)u-mv}{M}=\frac{(61+4.0)(2.5)-(4.0)(5.0)}{61}=2.34 m/s

So, the skater is moving at 2.34 m/s (forward) after the shot.

What is true of the moon's orbital and rotational periods?
Eddi Din [679]
The moon's orbital and rotational periods are identical or the same, I<span>ts rate of spin is done in unison with its rate of revolution (the time that is needed to complete one orbit). Thus, the moon rotates exactly once every time it circles the Earth.</span>
