How many joules of work are done against a truck when a force of 50 N pushes it 1 kilometer away

ELEN [110]

Answer:

Work = 50,000 J

Explanation:

Work = force * distance

Given that,

force = 50N
Distance = 1km = 1000m

Work = 50 * 1000

Work = 50,000 J

How is the surface area of an average person is 2m^2 in the chapter pressure

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

We have to show surface area $=2m^2$ ,with few conditions that is by considering Force $=200000\ N$ and Pressure $=100000\ Pa$ to be respectively.

Explanation:

The atmospheric pressure is $=10^{5}\ Pa$ on Earth's surface.

The magnitude of the force exerted on a person by the atmosphere is $=2\times 10^{5}\N (or)\ 200kN\ (or)\ 20\ ton$ .

Now to calculate surface area we can find it from $pressure=\frac{force}{area}$ and re-arranging it to.

$area=\frac{force}{pressure}$

So plugging the values,

Surface area $=\frac{20000}{10000}=2\ m^{2}$

Hence from the above calculations we can say that surface area is $2m^2$ .

So the surface area of an average person can be said to have $2m^2$ , using the concept of pressure and force.

Amy is standing still on the ground; Bill is riding his bicycle at 5 m/s eastward; and Carlos is driving his car at 15 m/s westw

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

20 m/s westward

Explanation:

Taking eastward as positive direction, we have:

$v_B = +5 m/s$ is the velocity of Bill with respect to Amy (which is stationary)

$v_C = -15 m/s$ is the velocity of Carlos with respect to Amy

Bill is moving 5 m/s eastward compared to Amy at rest, so the velocity of Bill's reference frame is

$v_B = +5 m/s$

Therefore, Carlos velocity in Bill's reference frame will be

$v_C' = v_C - v_B = -15 m/s - (+5 m/s) = -20 m/s$

and the direction will be westward (negative sign).

A piece of wood is floating in a bathtub. A second piece of wood sits on top of the first piece, and does not touch the water. I

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

the water level remains same

Explanation:

This can be explained by Archimedes's principle which says that the wood will sink if weight of wood is more than the weight of the water displaced with weight equal to the water displaced otherwise the wood will float.

Therefore, buoyancy or the buoyant force is the same as the weight of wood, the weight of the water displaced by wood is also the same as that of the weight of wood.

Thus, we can see that the weight of the wood remains same and so is the level of water.
