Answer:

pressure=height × density×acc due to gravity

pressire is directly proportional to height hence it decreses with decrease in height

here air column height is measured upside down so decreases witn increment

A worker drives a 0.562 kg spike into a rail tie with a 2.26 kg sledgehammer. The hammer hits the spike with a speed of 64.4 m/s

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of sledge hammer;

Mh =2.26 kg

Hammer speed;

Vh = 64.4 m/s

The expression fot the kinetic energy of the hammer is,

K.E(hammer) = ½Mh•Vh²

K.E(hammer) = ½ × 2.26 × 64.4²

K.E ( hammer) = 4686.52 J

If one forth of the kinetic energy is converted into internal energy, then

ΔU = ¼ × K.E(hammer)

∆U = ¼ × 4686.52

∆U = 1171.63 J

Thus, the increase in total internal energy will be 1171.63 J.

A chair of weight 70.0 N lies atop a horizontal floor; the floor is not frictionless. You push on the chair with a force of F =

Annette [7]

Answer:

94.67 N

Explanation:

Consider a free body diagram with force, F of 41 N applied at an angle of 37 degrees while the weight acts downwards. Resolving the force into vertical and horizontal components, we obtain a free body diagram attached.

At equilibrium, normal reaction is equal to the sum of the weight and the vertical component of the force applied. Applying the condition of equilibrium along the vertical direction.

$\begin{array}{l}\\\Sigma {F_y} = 0\\\\N - W - F\sin \theta = 0\\\\N = W + F\sin \theta \\\end{array}$
