Answer:

300N/m²

Explanation:

Pressure is calculated using the formula;

Pressure = Force/Area

Given

Force = 2400N

Area = 4m×2m = 8m²

Substitute the given parameters into the formula as shown;

Pressure = 2400/8

Pressure = 300N/m²

Hence the pressure the statue exerts on the floor is 300N/m²

( 8c5p79) A certain force gives mass m1 an acceleration of 13.5 m/s2 and mass m2 an acceleration of 3.5 m/s2. What acceleration

Talja [164]

Answer:

$4.725 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

We know that from Newton's second law of motion, F=ma hence making acceleration the subject then $a=\frac {F}{m}$ where a is acceleration, F is force and m is mass

Also making mass the subject of the formula $m=\frac {F}{a}$

For $m1= \frac {F}{13.5}$ and $m2=\frac {F}{3.5}$ hence $F=(m2-m1)a= (\frac {F}{3.5}-\frac {F}{13.5})a=0.2116402116\\\frac {1}{a}=0.2116402116\\a=4.725 m/s^{2}$

a 1.05 kg water bottle is sitting on the teacher's desk it is .20 m tall and has a radius of .03 m find the force that the water

arsen [322]

The force applied would be 1.05*9.8 = 10.3 N
the pressure is equal to F/a
area will be πr^2 = 0.002826
thus pressure will be = 10.3/0.002826= 3644.72 N/m^2

A Foucault pendulum consists of a brass sphere with a diameter of 31.0 cm suspended from a steel cable 11.0 m long (both measure

kozerog [31]

Answer:

43.7 °C

Explanation:

$\alpha_b$ = Coefficient of linear expansion of brass = $18\times 10^{-6}\ ^{\circ}C$

$\alpha_s$ = Coefficient of linear expansion of steel = $11\times 10^{-6}\ ^{\circ}C$

$L_{0b}$ = Initial length of brass = 31 cm

$L_{0s}$ = Initial length of steel = 11 m

$\Delta L$ = Total change in length = 3 mm

Total change in length would be

$\Delta L=\Delta L_b+\Delta L_s\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=L_{0b}\alpha_b\Delta T+L_{0s}\alpha_b\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\frac{\Delta L}{L_{0b}\alpha_b+L_{0s}\alpha_b}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\frac{0.003}{0.31\times 18\times 10^{-6}+11\times 10^{-6}\times 11}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=23.7\ ^{\circ}C$

$\Delta T=23.7\\\Rightarrow T_f-T_i=23.7\\\Rightarrow T_f=23.7+T_i\\\Rightarrow T_f=23.7+20\\\Rightarrow T_f=43.7\ ^{\circ}C$

The final temperature is 43.7 °C

A box is initially sliding across a frictionless floor toward a spring which is attached to a wall. the box hits the end of the

Serjik [45]

The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by
$U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2$
where k is the spring's constant and x is the displacement with respect to the relaxed position of the spring.

The work done by the spring is the negative of the potential energy difference between the final and initial condition of the spring:
$W=-\Delta U = \frac{1}{2}kx_i^2 - \frac{1}{2}kx_f^2$

In our problem, initially the spring is uncompressed, so $x_i=0$ . Therefore, the work done by the spring when it is compressed until $x_f$ is
$W=- \frac{1}{2}kx_f^2$
And this value is actually negative, because the box is responsible for the spring's compression, so the work is done by the box.
