Answer:

300 Pascal

Explanation:

Given

weight or force (F) = 6000 N

area (A) = 20 m²

pressure (p) = ?

we know

the force acting normally per unit area is pressure. So

P = F / A

= 6000 / 20

= 300 Pascal

Hope it will help :)

A worker drives a 0.562 kg spike into a rail tie with a 2.26 kg sledgehammer. The hammer hits the spike with a speed of 64.4 m/s

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of sledge hammer;

Mh =2.26 kg

Hammer speed;

Vh = 64.4 m/s

The expression fot the kinetic energy of the hammer is,

K.E(hammer) = ½Mh•Vh²

K.E(hammer) = ½ × 2.26 × 64.4²

K.E ( hammer) = 4686.52 J

If one forth of the kinetic energy is converted into internal energy, then

ΔU = ¼ × K.E(hammer)

∆U = ¼ × 4686.52

∆U = 1171.63 J

Thus, the increase in total internal energy will be 1171.63 J.

What do you need to calculate the mechanical advantage of a block and tackle

Ira Lisetskai [31]

In a block and tackle, some friction in the pulleys will reduce the mechanical advantage of the machine. To include friction in a calculation of the mechanical advantage of a block and tackle, divide the weight of the object being lifted by the weight necessary to lift it.

Hope this helps

Suppose a yo-yo has a center shaft that has a 0.230 cm radius and that its string is being pulled.

Fofino [41]

Answer:

Part a)

$\alpha = 782.6 rad/s^2$

Part B)

$\omega = 587 rad/s$

Part c)

$a_t = 24.3 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that

$a = R \alpha$

so we will have

$a = 1.80 m/s^2$

$R = 0.230 cm$

$\alpha = \frac{a}{R}$

$\alpha = \frac{1.80}{0.230 \times 10^{-2}}$

$\alpha = 782.6 rad/s^2$

Part B)

Angular speed of the yo-yo

$\omega = \alpha t$

so we have

$\omega = 782.6 \times 0.750$

$\omega = 587 rad/s$

Part c)

Tangential acceleration is given as

$a_t = R \alpha$

$a_t = (3.10 \times 10^{-2})(782.6)$

$a_t = 24.3 m/s^2$
