Crushing pressure. Human bodies are used to air pressure. The air pressure in our lungs, ears and stomachs is the same as the air pressure outside of our bodies, which ensures that we don't get crushed. Our bodies are also flexible enough to cope when the internal and external pressures aren't exactly the same.
The free fall of the phone is an uniformly accelerated motion toward the ground, with constant acceleration equal to
So, assuming the downward direction as positive direction of the motion, since the phone starts from rest the distance covered by the phone after a time t is given by
And if we substitute t=2.7 s, we find the distance covered:
measures angular displacement per unit time. Its units are therefore degrees (or radians) per second.
Answer:
27 blocks
Explanation:
First, the expression to use here is the following:
P = F/A
Where:
P: pressure
F: Force exerted
A: Area of the block.
Now , we need to know the number of blocks needed to exert a pressure that equals at least 2 atm. To know this, we should rewrite the equation. We know that certain number of blocks, with the same weight and dimensions are putting one after one over the first block, so we can say that:
P = W/A
P = n * W1 / A
n would be the number of blocks, and W1 the weight of the block.We have all the data, and we need to calculate the area of the block which is:
A = 0.2 * 0.1 = 0.02 m²
Solving now for n:
n = P * A / W1
The pressure has to be expressed in N/m²
P = 2 atm * 1.01x10^5 N/m² atm = 2.02x10^5 N/m²
Finally, replacing all data we have:
n = 2.02x10^5 * 0.02 / 150
n = 26.93
We can round this result to 27. So the minimum number of blocks is 27.
