Answer:

5 Pascals

Explanation:

Pressure is equal to force/area and the area is 60cm to m is 0.6m. Then the area is 0.6m×5m=3m^2. which gives a pressure of 15N/3m^2=5Pa

Answer:

<h2>✍ What is quantum physics?</h2>

➳ It's the physics that explains how everything works; the best description we have of the nature of the particles that make up matter and the forces with which they interact.
Quantum physics underlies how atoms work, and so why chemistry and biology work as they do.

klio [65]

P waves

P-waves are sometimes called pressure waves, and sometimes they are called longitudinal waves. P-waves are transmitted through the Earth’s interior with a backwards and forwards motion along the line of travel, by alternating compression and dilatation. A jack hammer creates P-waves. They are capable of passing through any type of material they encounter, including the liquid of the Earth’s outer core, although they
will be bent and deflected when they pass across the boundaries separating
layers of different densities.

Consider this situation: Four ropes, each attached to the end

faust18 [17]

The forces acting on the elevator are:

Gravity force

Tension force

Air resistance

Explanation:

Let's go through each of the forces listed and see which ones are acting on the elevator.

Normal force: NO. The normal force is a force exerted by a surface whenever there is another object "pushing" on it. For instance, when a box is at rest on a table, the box is "pushing" on the table (due to its weight), and the table "pushes back" on the box, upward, in order to balance its weight: this is the normal force. In this case, the elevator is lifted, so it is not pushing on anything, therefore there is no normal force.
Gravity force: YES. The force of gravity acts on every object located in the gravitational field of the Earth; it pulls downward, and its magnitude is $mg$ , where m is the mass of the object and g is the acceleration of gravity.
Applied force: NO. Here there is no applied force, since there is nobody "pushing" or "pulling" the elevator.
Friction force: NO. As we are considering the forces on the elevator, and the elevator is not sliding against any surfaces, there is no force of friction. (The force of friction acts whenever there are two surfaces sliding against each other, which is not the case here)
Tension force: YES. The tension force is the force exerted by a rope or a string when pulling an object. In this case, there are four ropes pulling the elevator, therefore there are 4 forces of tension acting on the elevator, upward.
Air resistance: YES. As the elevator is moving through the air, the interaction between the molecules of air with the surface of the elevator produces a force (called air resistance) that "resists" the motion of the elevator, therefore pushing downward. However, the magnitude of this force is negligible in this case.
