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...

Forces of attraction limit the motion of particles most in

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Solids

Explanation:

Solids have definite shapes and definite volumes. The forces of attraction between the molecules of a solid substance are strong and the intermolecular spaces are very small. Due to this, the motion of molecules within a solid substance are very difficult that they only vibrate in their positions.

For liquids, they have definite volumes and indefinite shapes. The forces of attraction between the molecules of a liquid are intermediate and the the intermolecular spaces are intermediate as well. Due to this, the motion of molecules within a liquid substance is not as difficult as it is within solids.

Finally, for gases, they have indefinite shapes and indefinite volumes. The forces of attraction between the molecules of a gas are weak and the intermolecular spaces are large. Due to this, the motion of particles of gas is very easy.

Hope this helps :)

A driver of a car traveling 14.6 m/s must slam on the brakes to avoid hitting a black bear crossing the road. If it takes 3.00 s

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

a = (V2 - V1) / t = (0 - 14.6) / 3 = -4.87 m/s^2

It might be useful to convert 14.6 m/s to mph

14.6 m/s * 39.37 in/m = 575 in /s

575 in/s / 12 in/ft = 47.9 ft/sec

47.9 ft/s / 88 ft/sec * 60 mph = 32.6 mph

A singly charged 7Li ion has a mass of 1.16 10-26 kg. It is accelerated through a potential difference of 523 V and subsequently

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

$R=0.023m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass $m=1.16*10^{-26}$

Potential difference $V=523V$

Magnitude $m=0.370 T$

Generally the equation for Velocity is mathematically given by

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2=ev$

$v=\frac{2ev}{m}$

$v=\frac{2*1.6*10^{-19}*542}{1.16*10^{-26}}$

$v=12.22*10^4m/s$

Generally the equation for Force is mathematically given by

$F=qvBsin \theta$

Where

$qVB=m\frac{v^2}{R}$

$F=m\frac{v^2}{R}sin\theta$

Therefore

$R=\frac{mv}{qB sin \theta}$

$R=\frac{1.6*10^{-26}*12.2*10^{4}}{1.60*10^{-19}*0.394 sin 90}$

$R=0.023m$

how is the color of an object related to the wavelengths of light that are reflected and the wavelengths that are absorbed

Gekata [30.6K]

The color of an object is related to the wavelengths of light that are reflected and the wavelengths that are absorbed because:

Visible light is light that has wavelengths that can be detected by the human eye. The wavelength of visible light determines the color that the light appears. The light with the longest wavelength is red, and light with the shortest wavelength is violet.

An opaque object doesn’t allow light to pass through it. But, it reflects or absorbs the light that strike it. Some objects like the leaves reflect one or a few wavelengths of visible light and absorb the others. The reflected wavelengths are used to find the color of an object as it is seen by the human eye. Example: The leaves are in green as they reflect green light and absorb the other wavelengths light. A transparent or translucent material, such as window glass, transmits some or all of the light that strikes it. This means that the light passes through the material rather than being reflected by it. Hence, we see the material because of the transmitted light. So the wavelength of the transmitted light is used to find the color that the object appears.
