Answer:

40000 N/m²

Explanation:

Applying,

P =  F/A................... Equation 1

Where P = Pressure, F = Force, A = Area.

From the question,

The force(F) exerted by the person's foot is thesame as it's weight.

F = W = mg............ Equation 2

Where m = mass of the person, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

P = mg/A................ Equation 3

Given: m = 60 kg, g = 10 m/s², A = 150 cm² = (150/10000) m² = 0.015 m²

Substitute these values into equation 3

P = (60×10)/0.015

P = 600/0.015

P = 40000 N/m²

Answer:

First of all, “moist air” is air with a high water vapor content. Water vapor, the invisible, gaseous form of water, occurs in highly variable amounts in the atmosphere. Water is composed of a hydrogen atom and two oxygen atoms (H2O) and has a molecular weight of 18 grams per mole.

dangina [55]

Answer:

The correct option is D

Explanation:

In the course of the experiment, two key phrases/variables defined the experiment done,

i) the release height of the steel ball (independent variable)

ii) the distance the ball travels from the ramp before falling to the ground (dependent variable)

The only option that contains and relates this two variables as carried out during the course of the experiment is option D.

100 POINTS.<br> PLEASE EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER.
Drupady [299]

Explanation:

Draw free body diagrams for each mass.

There are 3 forces on the disk: weight force mg pulling down, normal force N pushing up, and tension force T pulling right.

There are 2 forces on the cylinder: tension force T pulling up and weight force 3mg pulling down.

Sum of forces on the disk in the centripetal direction:

∑F = ma

T = m v²/r

Sum of forces on the cylinder in the vertical direction:

∑F = ma

T − 3mg = 0

T = 3mg

Substituting:

3mg = m v²/r

3gr = v²

v = √(3gr)

Plug in values:

v = √(3 × 10 m/s² × 0.800 m)

v = √24 m/s

v ≈ 4.90 m/s
