An average man is 80 k (800 N) and the area of the shoes he is wearing is 0.0092 m2. What is the pressure he is exerting on the

ground?

Answer:

P = 86956.52 Pa

Explanation:

Data:

F = 800 N
A = 0.0092 m²
P = ?

Use the formula:

$\boxed{\bold{P=\frac{F}{A}}}$

Replace and solve:

$\boxed{\bold{P=\frac{800\ N}{0.0092\ m^{2}}}}$

$\boxed{\bold{P=86956.52\ Pa}}}$

The pressure it exerts on the ground is <u>86956.52 Pascal.</u>

Greetings.

A firefighter of mass 81 kg slides down a vertical pole with an acceleration of 3 m/s 2 . The acceleration of gravity is 10 m/s

natima [27]

Answer:

The force of friction that acts on him is

$F_k=567N$

Explanation:

The firefighter with an acceleration of 3m/s^2 take the gravity acceleration as 10m/s^2 isn't necessary to know the coefficient of friction just to know the force of friction:

$F=m*a$

$F=F_w-F_k$

$m*a=F_w-F_k$

$F_w=81kg*10m/s^2=810N$

Sole to Fk

$81kg*3m/s^2=810N-F_k$

$F_k=810N-243N$

$F_k=567N$

Two stars have the same radius but have very different temperatures. the red star has a surface temperature of 3,000 k and the b

dangina [55]

I would say that insofar as the two stars temperatures are presumably closely related to their luminosity, that the blue star at 156,100 k compared to 3000k for the red star then the blue star has a luminosity of 52 times that of the red star.

Acceleration question plz help

andrezito [222]

For #5 It's helpful to draw a free body diagram so you know which way the forces are acting on the block.

the weight mg is acting downwards, and you need to find the vertical and horizontal components of mg using sin and cosine. so do 15x9.8xsin40 which is the force. Assuming no friction, this is the only force acting on the block, as the forces on the vertical plane cancel out i.e the normal force and weight of the block.

after, just do F=ma And since you know F and m, solve for a.

Match the indices of refraction with the corresponding effects on the waves.

Yanka [14]

Answer:

B) waves speed up

C) waves bend away from the normal

Explanation:

The index of refraction of a material is the ratio between the speed of light in a vacuum and the speed of light in that medium:

$n=\frac{c}{v}$

where

c is the speed of light in a vacuum

v is the speed of light in the medium

We can re-arrange this equation as:

$v=\frac{c}{n}$

So from this we already see that if the index of refraction is lower, the speed of light in the medium will be higher, so one correct option is

B) waves speed up

Moreover, when light enters a medium bends according to Snell's Law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where

$n_1 ,n_2$ are the index of refraction of the 1st and 2nd medium

$\theta_1,\theta_2$ are the angles made by the incident ray and refracted ray with the normal to the interface

We can rewrite the equation as

$sin \theta_2 = \frac{n_1}{n_2}sin \theta_1$

So we see that if the index of refraction of the second medium is lower ( $n_2$ ), then the ratio $\frac{n_1}{n_2}$ is larger than 1, so the angle of refraction is larger than the angle of incidence:

$\theta_2>\theta_1$

This means that the wave will bend away from the normal. So the other correct option is

C) waves bend away from the normal

A physics professor wants to perform a lecture demonstration of Young's double-slit experiment for her class using the 633-nm li

Alexeev081 [22]

Note: if the professor wants the distance between the m = 0 and m = 1 maxima to be 25 cm

Answer:

d = 1.0128×10⁻⁵m

Explanation:

given:

length L = 4.0m

maximum distance between m = 0 and m = 1 , y = 25cm = 0.25m

wavelength λ = 633nm = 633×10⁻⁹m

note:

dsinθ = mλ (constructive interference)

where d is slit seperation, θ is angle of seperation , m is order of interference , and λ is wavelength

for small angle

sinθ ≈ tanθ

$d (\frac{y}{L}) =$ mλ

$d (\frac{y}{L}) = (1)(633nm)$

$d(\frac{0.25}{4} ) = (1)(633nm)$

d = 1.0128×10⁻⁵m
