The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

A floating ice block is pushed through a displacement vector d = (15m)i - (12m)j along a straight embankment by rushing water, which exerts a force vector F = (210N)i - (150N)j on the block. How much work does the force do on the block during displacement?

Answer: W = 4950J

Explanation: <u>Work</u> (W), in physics, is done when a force acts on an object that has a displacement form a place to another:

W = F · d

As the formula shows, Work is a scalar product, i.e, it results in a number, so, Work only has magnitude.

Force and displacement for the ice block are in 2 dimensions, then work will be:

W = (210)i - (150)j · (15)i - (12)j

W = (210*15) + (150*12)

W = 3150 + 1800

W = 4950J

During the displacement, the ice block has a work of 4950J

the sole of a tennis shoe has a surface area of 0.0290 m^2. if it is worn by a 65.0 kg person, what pressure does the shoe exert
AURORKA [14]

Answer: 21965.517 Pa

Explanation:

Pressure P is the force F exerted by a gas, a liquid or a solid on a surface (or area) A, its unit is Pascal Pa which is equal to N/m^{2} and its formula is:  

P=\frac{F}{A} (1)

In this case we have the surface of a sole of a tennis shoe:

A=0.0290 m^{2} (2)

And the mass m of the person who wears it:

m=65 kg

On the other hand, we know the weight is the force  F the Earth exerts on people and objects due gravity g :

F=m.g=(65 kg)(9.8m/^{2})

F=637N (3)

Substituting (2) and (3) in (1):

P=\frac{637N}{0.0290 m^{2}} (4)

Finally:

P=21965.517 Pa This is the pressure the shoe exert on the ground

Air temperature in a desert can reach 58.0°C (about 136°F). What is the speed of sound (in m/s) in air at that temperature?
Veronika [31]

The approximate speed of sound in dry (0% humidity) air, in meters per second, at temperatures near 0 °C, can be calculated from

c_{air} = (331.3+0.606 \upsilon)

Here

\upsilon = Temperature in Celsius

Replacing with our values we have that

\upsilon=58\° C

c_{air} = (331.3+0.606*58)

c_{air} = 366.1m/s

Therefore the speed of sound in air at that temperature is 366.1m/s

An astronaut floating in space throws a wrench forward with the force of 10 N.
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

10N

Explanation:

1. Every Action has an equal and opposite reAction.

2. If 10N of force is acted upon an wrench, then the wrench will react with an equal amount of force, but in the opposite direction.
