If a board with an area of 3m2 has a 12 N force exerted on it, what is the pressure on the board?

4 N/cm^2 is the answer. the way you get this is the formula for pressure is P=F/A. So you would plug in the numbers which would make the equation P=12/3 which you know equals 4. The units for pressure is N/cm^2 or N/m^2

I hope this helps

Is the acceleration due to gravity in projectile motion always negative? please explain

umka21 [38]

Before you start working on any motion problem, YOU decide which direction you're going to call 'positive'. Everybody almost always calls UP positive, and the acceleration of gravity points down, so it winds up negative. But you could just as well call DOWN the positive direction. Then, the cannonball is fired with a negative vertical speed, and the acceleration of gravity eventually robs all of its negative speed, and makes it start falling in the positive direction. The whole thing is your choice.

Find the length of a pendulum that oscillates with a frequency of 0.16 hz. the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . answe

Vsevolod [243]

The period of the pendulum is the reciprocal of the frequency:
$T= \frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{0.16 Hz}=6.25 s$

The period of the pendulum is given by
$T=2 \pi \frac{L}{g}$
where L is the length of the pendulum, and g the acceleration of gravity. By re-arranging the formula and using the value of T we found before, we can calculate the length of the pendulum L:
$L=g \frac{T^2}{(2 \pi)^2}=(9.81 m/s^2) \frac{(6.25 s)^2}{(2 \pi)^2}=9.71 m$

Answer:

The Mass of a person is calculated to be 28.6kg .

Explanation:

This is based on Kinetic energy and we know, that Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by body by virtue of its motion .

It can be calculated by expression :

K.E=1/2mv²

Velocity of a person = 11.2m/sec

Kinetic energy = 1800J

Mass of person = ?

We know ,

K.E=1/2mv²

so, putting values we have :

1800=1/2 x m x (11.2)²

That is ,

m=1800 x 2 /11.2 x 11.2

m=3600/125.44

m = 28.6 kg
