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

A long, straight, cylindrical wire of radius R carries a current uniformly distributed over its cross section.
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall solve this question with the help of Ampere's circuital law.

Ampere's ,law

∫ B dl = μ₀ I , B is magnetic field at distance x from the axis within wire

we shall find magnetic field at distance x . current enclosed in the area of circle of radius x

=  I x π x²  / π R²

= I x²  /  R²

B x 2π x = μ₀  x current enclosed

B x 2π x = μ₀  x  I x²  /  R²

B =  μ₀   I x  / 2π R²

Maximum magnetic B₀ field  will be when x = R

B₀ = μ₀I   / 2π R

Given

B = B₀ / 3

μ₀   I x  / 2π R² = μ₀I   / 2π R x 3

x = R / 3

b ) The largest value of magnetic field is on the surface of wire

B₀ = μ₀I   / 2π R

At distance x outside , let magnetic field be B

Applying Ampere's circuital law

∫ B dl = μ₀ I

B x 2π x = μ₀ I

B = μ₀ I / 2π x

Given B = B₀ / 3

μ₀ I / 2π x = μ₀I   / 2π R x 3

x = 3R .

The fictional rocket ship Adventure is measured to be 50 m long by the ship's captain inside the rocket.When the rocket moves pa
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Complete question:

Part A:) The fictional rocket ship Adventure is measured to be 50 m long by the ship's captain inside the rocket.When the rocket moves past a space dock at 0.5c , space-dock personnel measure the rocket ship to be 43.3 m long. The rocket ship Adventure travels to a star many light-years away, then turns around and returns at the same speed. When it returns to the space dock, who would have aged less: the space-dock personnel or ship's captain?

Part B: What is the momentum of a proton traveling at 0.62 c ?

Answer

a)Who would have aged less=The Captain would have aged less

b) p=3.96*10^{-19}kgm/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Length measured by captain l_c=50m

Speed of rocket past tje space dock V=0.5c

Length measured by space-dock personnel l_c=43.3m

a)

Generally time moves slower when moving at speed of light, due to time dilation or variation.

Who would have aged less=The Captain would have aged less

b)

Generally the equation for Relativistic Momentum  is mathematically given as

p=\frac{m*v}{1 - v^2/c^2}

p=\frac{1.67*10^2-27*0.62*3.0*10^8)}{\sqrt{ 1 -0.6^2}}

p=3.96*10^{-19}kgm/s

A ball is thrown off the top of a building and lands on the ground below.
natita [175]

Answer:

Mass and velocity.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy <u>is the energy that an object has due to its movement</u>, mathematically it is represented as follows:

K=\frac{1}{2} mv^2

where m is the mass of the object, and v is its velocity at a given point in time.

So we can see that to find the kinetic energy just before the ball hits the gound, we need the quantities:

  • mass of the ball
  • velocity of the ball before it hits the ground

With the knowledge of these two quantities the kinetic energy of the ball  before touching the gound can be determined.

Which statementsabout a neutral atom are correct? Check all that apply.
KIM [24]

Answer:

1, 2, 4, 5 are correct

Explanation:

1) This is true because In a neutral atom, the number of positive charges (protons) is equal to the number of negative charges (electrons).

2) This is true because the mass of the atom which is made up of the protons and neutrons, is located in the tiny nucleus.

3) This is not true because the positively charged particles in the nucleus are called protons.

4) This is true because electrons move around the nucleus in diffuse areas known as orbitals.

5) This is true because opposite charges attract each other. And electron is a negative charge.

6) This is not true because the radius of the electron cloud is normally 10,000 times larger than the radius of the nucleus.
