A 55-kg woman is wearing high heels. If each heel has a circular cross-section 6.0 mm in diameter and she puts all her weight on

bogdanovich [222]3 years ago

Answer:

The pressure exerted by the woman on the floor is 1.9061 x 10⁷ N/m²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the woman, m = 55 kg

diameter of the circular heel, d = 6.0 mm

radius of the heel, r = 3.0 mm = 0.003 m

Cross-sectional area of the heel is given by;

A = πr²

A = π(0.003)²

A = 2.8278 x 10⁻⁵ m²

The weight of the woman is given by;

W = mg

W = 55 x 9.8

W = 539 N

The pressure exerted by the woman on the floor is given by;

P = F / A

P = W / A

P = 539 / (2.8278 x 10⁻⁵ )

P = 1.9061 x 10⁷ N/m²

Therefore, the pressure exerted by the woman on the floor is 1.9061 x 10⁷ N/m²

80 grams of iron at 100°C is dropped into 200 of water at 20°C contained in an iron vessel of mass 50 gram find the resulting te
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

the resulting temperature is 23.37 ⁰C

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the iron, m₁ = 80 g = 0.08 kg

mass of the water, m₂ = 200 g = 0.2 kg

mass of the iron vessel, m₃ = 50 g = 0.05 kg

initial temperature of the iron, t₁ = 100 ⁰C

initial temperature of the water, t₂ = 20 ⁰C

specific heat capacity of iron, c₁ = 462 J/kg⁰C

specific heat capacity of water, c₂ = 4,200 J/kg⁰C

let the temperature of the resulting mixture = T

Apply the principle of conservation of energy;

heat lost by the hot iron = heat gained by the water

m_1c_1 \Delta t_1 = m_2c_2\Delta t_2\\\\m_1c_1 (100 - T) = m_2c_2 (T- 20)\\\\0.08 \times 462 (100-T) = 0.2 \times 4,200 (T-20)\\\\36.96 (100-T) = 840 (T-20) \\\\100 - T = 22.72 (T-20)\\\\100-T = 22.72 T - 454.4 \\\\554.4 = 23.72T\\\\T = \frac{554.4}{23.72} \\\\T = 23.37 \ ^0C

Therefore, the resulting temperature is 23.37 ⁰C

Why transparent object don't form a shadow​
Pani-rosa [81]

Explanation:

Transparent objects do not form shadows. The light passes completely from the transparent objects thus these objects will not form shadow. ... In such objects, the light gets refracted thus, such objects forms shadow. The refraction is also the reason why we can see such objects.

Please help me with this question, especially the angle part. I have solved the initial velocity already. I don't know what to d
Helga [31]
I think you almost got it.

At the top, the velocity only has horizontal component, so v=12 m/s is v_x, which is v*cos(theta), because v_x is constant, so the same when it was launched or now.

With the value of the initial speed (28 m/s, which is the total speed), you can set

v_x = v * cos( theta ) ---> 12 = 28*cos(theta) --> cos(theta)=12/28=3/7

or theta = 64.62 deg, it is D. Think about it. I hope you see it.
