Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, .

Pressure around scuba is

P = 10^5 Pa

1 Pa = 1 N/m²

Then

P = 10^5 N/m²

Descending height

h = 10m

Change in force per unit square centimetre

We know that,

Pressure = Force / Area

Then,

Force / Area is the required question we are finding

Then,

Force / Area = 10^5 N / m²

So, let convert the m² to cm²

100cm = 1m

(100cm)² = (1m)²

10⁴cm² = 1m²

Then,

Force / Area = 10^5 N/m² × 1m² / 10⁴cm²

Force / Area = 10 N/cm²

So, the force per unit square centimeters is 10.

What is the wavelength of visible light emitted at 4.2 x 10^8 Answer in units of M
Ber [7]

Answer:

0.714 m

Explanation:

From the question,

v = λf......................... Equation 1

Where v = velocity of visible light, f = frequency of visible light, λ = wave length of visible light.

make λ the subject of the equation

λ = v/f.................. Equation 2

Given: f = 4.2×10⁸ Hz

Note: Light is an electromagnetic wave, and all electromagnetic waves travels with the same speed (3×10⁸ m/s)

Constant: v = 3×10⁸ m/s

Substitute these values into equation 2

λ = 3×10⁸/4.2×10⁸

λ = 0.714 m

Which situation is work not being done? A) A bookcase is slid across carpeting. B) A stack of books is carried at waist level ac
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

B) A stack of books is carried at waist level across a room

Explanation:

Work is defined as:

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the force applied

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement

From the formula, we see that the work done is zero when the force and the displacement are perpendicular to each other. Let's now analyze each situation:

A) A bookcase is slid across carpeting. --> work is done, because the force that pushes the bookcase is in the same direction of the displacement

B) A stack of books is carried at waist level across a room. --> no work is done, because the force to carry the book is vertical, while the displacement of the books is horizontal

C) A chair is lifted vertically with respect to the floor. --> work is done, because the force that lifts the chair is vertical, and the displacement is vertical as well

D) A table is dropped onto the ground. --> work is done, because the force of gravity (that makes the table falling down) is vertical and the displacement of the table is also vertical.
