Prove p=f/a science chapter pressure​

Physics
1 answer:
Shalnov [3]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Let 'F' be force acting perpendicularly, 'A' be the area and 'P' be the pressure exerted.

Then,

Pressure is directly proportional to the the force acting perpendicularly i.e.

P ∝ F ............. (i)

Pressure is inversely proportional to the area on which force acts i.e.

P ∝ 1/A ........... (ii)

Combining equations (i) and (ii),

P ∝ F/A

or, P = K × F/A [where K is a constant]

If F is 1N, A is 1m² and P is 1 N/m², then K is 1.

So, P = F/A proved...

A 55 kg track and field athlete has an average power output of 5.4 kW during the 200 meter dash. How quickly did she finish the
olga_2 [115]

The time taken for the athlete to finish the race is 20 s (Option A)

<h3>What is power? </h3>

Power is simply defined as the rate at which work is done. It can be expressed mathematically as

Power (P) = work (W) / time (t)

But

Work = weight × distance

Therefore,

Power = (weight × distance ) / time

<h3>How to determine the time </h3>
  • Mass (m) = 55 Kg
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Weight = mg = 55 × 9.8 = 539 N
  • Power (P) = 5.4 KW = 5.4 × 1000 = 5400 W
  • Distance (d) = 200 m
  • Time (t) =?

Power = (weight × distance ) / time

5400 = (539 × 200) / t

5400 = 107800 / t

Cross multiply

5400 × t = 107800

Divide both side by 5400

t = 107800 / 5400

t = 20 s

When sanitizing dishcloths or cutting boards at home using chlorine bleach, how much bleach should be added, per quart of water?
ahrayia [7]

When using chlorine bleach, the proper amount for one gallon of water is 8 ounces, or one cup. Now, since there's 4 quarts in a gallon,divide the 8 ounces by 4. You get 2. So you should put 2 ounces (or 1/4 cup) of chlorine bleach in a quart of water. Hope this helps!

If the mass of a material is 50 grams and the volume of the material is 12 cm^3, what would the density of the material be?
AlekseyPX
The density of the material would be 
25/6 grams per cm^3.
to obtain the result above this is what we do:
density is calculated as: (the mass of the given material or object) / volume of the material 
which leads us to 50grams /12cm^3
