Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure applied by the woman = 300N/m²

Area = 0.02m²

Unknown:

Force applied = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force per unit area on a body

Pressure = $\frac{force}{area}$

Force = Pressure x area

Force = 300 x 0.02 = 6N

44. A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose boat has sunk. One of the rescuers throws a life preserver straight down

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

18.4 m

Explanation:

(a)

The known variables in this problem are:

u = 1.40 m/s is the initial vertical velocity (we take downward direction as positive direction)

t = 1.8 s is the duration of the fall

a = g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

(b)

The vertical distance covered by the life preserver is given by

$d=ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

If we substitute all the values listed in part (a), we find

$d=(1.40 m/s)(1.8 s)+\frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^2)(1.8 s)^2=18.4m$

When the palmaris longus muscle in the forearm is flexed, the wrist moves back and forth. If the muscle generates a force of 45.

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Torque on the rocket will be 1.11475 N -m

Explanation:

We have given that muscles generate a force of 45.5 N

So force F = 45.5 N

This force acts on the is acting on the effective lever arm of 2.45 cm

So length of the lever arm d = 2.45 cm = 0.0245 m

We have to find torque

We know that torque is given by $\tau =F\times d=45.5\times 0.0245=1.11475N-m$

So torque on the rocket will be 1.11475 N -m

what does the presence of the mosesaurus fossils tell the initial location and positioning of soyth america africa and antartica

kicyunya [14]

The remains of Mesosaurus- a crocodile-like reptilian tells United States that South America, Africa and Antarctica were once joined along which implies they were once an enormous continent. However, because of the idea called the geological phenomenon, this one massive continent began to break so making individual continents.

A positively charged particle Q1 = +35nC is held fixed at the origin. A second charge of mass m = 3.5ug is floating a distance d

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Q1 = 35 nC = 35 x 10^-9 C

m = 3.5 micro gram = 3.5 x 10^-9 Kg

d = 35 cm = 0.35 m

(a) The electrostatic force between the two charges is balanced by the weight of another charge.

F = m g

$\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _{0}}\frac{Q_{1}Q_{2}}{d^{2}}=mg$

$Q_{2}=\frac{4\pi \epsilon _{0}mgd^{2}}{Q_{1}}$

(b) By substituting the values

$Q_{2}=\frac{3.5\times 10^{-9}\times 9.8\times 0.35\timees 0.35}{9\times 10^{9}\times 35\times 10^{9}}$

Q2 = 13.34 x 10^-12 C

Q2 = 0.0134 nC
