Why are we not crushed by the weight of the atmosphere on our shoulders?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Due to equal pressure in all the direction at a particular level in a fluid medium (Pascal's Law)

Explanation:

We are not crushed by the weight of the atmosphere because atmosphere is a fluid and we are immersed into it. So, according to the Pascal's law the the pressure a each point in a horizontal level is equal in all the direction irrespective of the orientation of a body.

Variation of pressure in term of the height of a fluid medium is given as:

P=\rho.g.h

\rho=density of fluid

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height of the free surface of the fluid from the immersed object.

  • And atmosphere has very less variation of pressure with change in height as it is a rare medium fluid and so for a human height there is very negligible variation of pressure at the heat of a human with respect to his toe.

A truck with a heavy load has a total mass of 7100 kg. It is climbing a 15∘ incline at a steady 15 m/s when, unfortunately, the
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The load has a mass of 2636.8 kg

Explanation:

Step 1 : Data given

Mass of the truck = 7100 kg

Angle = 15°

velocity = 15m/s

Acceleration = 1.5 m/s²

Mass of truck = m1 kg

Mass of load = m2 kg

Thrust from engine = T

Step 2:

⇒ Before the load falls off, thrust (T) balances the component of total weight downhill:

T = (m1+m2)*g*sinθ

⇒ After the load falls off, thrust (T) remains the same but downhill component of weight becomes  m1*gsinθ .

Resultant force on truck is F = T – m1*gsinθ  

F causes the acceleration of the truck: F= m*a

This gives the equation:

T – m1*gsinθ = m1*a  

T = m1(a + gsinθ)

Combining both equations gives:

(m1+m2)*g*sinθ = m1*(a + gsinθ)

m1*g*sinθ + m2*g*sinθ =m1*a + m1*g*sinθ

m2*g*sinθ = m1*a

Since m1+m2 = 7100kg, m1= 7100 – m2. This we can plug into the previous equation:

m2*g*sinθ = (7100 – m2)*a

m2*g*sinθ = 7100a – m2a

m2*gsinθ + m2*a = 7100a

m2* (gsinθ + a) = 7100a

m2 = 7100a/(gsinθ  + a)

m2 = (7100 * 1.5) / (9.8sin(15°) + 1.5)

m2 = 2636.8 kg

The load has a mass of 2636.8 kg

A 4.00 kg ball is swung in a circle on the edge of a 1.50 m rope. The time it takes for the ball to complete one rotation is 3.4
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The length of the rope is equal to the radius of the circle formed by the complete rotation of the rope. Therefore the radius = 1.50 m.

a) The distance covered by the rope when completing one rotation is the same as the perimeter of the circle. Hence:

Distance covered in one rotation = 2π * radius = 2π * 1.5 = 3π meters

The velocity of the ball = Distance / time = 3π meters / 3.4 seconds = 2.77  m/s

b) The initial velocity (u) is 0 m/s, the final velocity is 2.77 m/s during time (t) = 3.4 s. Hence acceleration (a):

v = u + at

2.77 = 3.4a

a = 0.82 m/s²

c) Force on ball = mass * acceleration = 4 * 0.82 = 3.28 N

Someone please help. Describe how electric potential energy, kinetic energy, and work change when two charges of opposite sign a
erik [133]

Answer:

The answer is based on the conservation of energy law; something you should really understand by now.  

For convenience we can hold one of the two charges still; it becomes the frame of reference. And everything we say is in reference to the designated static charge, call it Q.  

So the moving charge, call it q, has total energy TE = PE. It's all potential energy as we start with q not moving.  

It has potential energy because in order to separate q from Q, we had to do work, add energy, on q. And from the COE law, that work added is converted into PE.  

It's a bit like lifting something off the ground. That's work and it becomes GPE. So there's some work, in separating the two charges in the first place.  

But there's more.  

Now we let q go. As opposites attract, q is pulled to Q. And that force from Q is working on q, force over distance. Which means the potential energy q started with is being converted into kinetic energy. q is accelerating and picking up speed.  

And there's more work, done by the EMF on charge q. That converts the PE into KE and the q charge smashes into Q with some kinetic energy.
