its cause if pressue

because the wide side if the nail is where is is hammered and we need to touch it so by increasing the area we redue pressure so it doesnt pirece you

mel-nik [20]

a = F/(m1+m2)
1.2 = F/48,000
F = 57,600N

a = F/(m1+m3)
a = 57,600/24,000
a = 2.4 m/s^2

A 15 kg block is on a ramp which is inclined at 20o above the horizontal. It is connected by a string to a 19 kg mass which hang
12345 [234]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration of the 19 kg block is 1.414 m/s²

Explanation:

From Newton's second law of motion;

F_{Net} = ma

where;

m is the mass of the objects involved, kg

a is the acceleration of the object, m/s²

different forces on the block and string

⇒force due to 15 kg block

=mgcosθ = 15×9.8×cos20 = 15×9.8×0.9396

= 138.12 N

⇒Tensional Force on 19 kg mass:

T = mg = 19×9.8 = 186.2 N

F_{Net} = T-mg = a(m_1+m_2)

186.2 - 138.12 = a(15+19)

48.08 =  a(34)

a = 48.08/34

a = 1.414 m/s²

Therefore, the magnitude of the acceleration of the 19 kg block is 1.414 m/s²

Calculate the focal length of the mirror formed by the convex side of a shiny spoon that has a 1.54 cm radius of curvature. (b)
blondinia [14]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of curvature of the mirror, R = 1.54 cm

(a) We have to find the focal length of the mirror. The relationship between the focal length and the radius of curvature is given by :

R=2f

f = focal length of the mirror

f=\dfrac{1.54\ cm}{2}

f = 0.77 cm

(b) The power of mirror is given by the reciprocal of focal length i.e.

Power, P=\dfrac{1}{f}

P = 1.29 diopters

Hence, this is the required solution.
