pascal is the unit of pressure

The units of pressure is called derived units because it is simply derived from base unit which is distance and a derived unit which is force, which is derived from acceleration, a derived unit as well, and mass, a base unit. As we all know, work is defined as the force x distance. Thus making work a derived unit.Jun 23, 2020

A 1 900-kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 4.00 m before coming into contact

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

471392.4 N

Explanation:

From the question,

Just before contact with the beam,

mgh = Fd.................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the beam, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height. F = average Force on the beam, d = distance.

make f the subject of the equation

F = mgh/d................ Equation 2

Given: m = 1900 kg, h = 4 m, d = 15.8 = 0.158 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

F = 1900(4)(9.8)/0.158

F = 471392.4 N

A horse walks along a straight path. it travels 3 in one second, 4 m in the next second, and 5 m in the third second. describe t

Temka [501]

Answer: The horse is moving with a uniform acceleration

Explanation:

According to the described situation, we are dealing with a <u>constant acceleration</u> (also called <u>uniform acceleration</u>), since the horse's velocity is changingn by a constant rate.

Let's prove it:

Firstly we are told the horse follows a straight path. In addition we are given its velocity:

3 m/s, then 4 m/s and 5 m/s

Since acceleration $a$ is defined as the change of velocity in time we can calculate it:
