Dorji weight 1500n.if the total surface area of soles of his feet is 0.5 m2 what is the pressure exerted by his body on the grou
1 answer:
Answer:
P = 3000 Pa
Explanation:
Weight of Dorji, W = F = mg = 1500 N
The total surface area of soles of his feet is 0.5 m²
We need to find the pressure exerted by his body on the ground. The pressure is equal to the force acting per unit area. So,
So, the pressure exerted by his body on the ground is 3000 Pa.

The atom must lose 2 electrons
Explanation:
An atom consists of three types of particles:
- Protons, in the nucleus, with positive electric charge
- Neutrons, in the nucleus, with no electric charge
- Electrons, orbiting around the nucleus, with negative electric charge
As a result, the net electric charge of an atom is given by the number of protons minus the number of electrons:
Q = #p - #e
For a neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons is the same, so the net charge is zero.
In order for an atom to have a positive charge of +2, it means that there must be 2 protons more than the number of electrons. Since atoms exchange electrons (and not protons), this means that the atom must have "lost" 2 electrons.
In this problem, we have an atom with 13 protons: this means that initially it also has 13 electrons. However, later the atom lost 2 electrons, and as a result, the final charge is +2e.
