A Shaolin monk of mass 60 kg is able to do a ‘finger stand’: he supports his whole weight on his two index fingers, giving him a

total contact area of 4 cm 2 with the ground. Calculate the pressure he exerts on the ground (include units), and write your answer to two significant figures.

Answer:

1500000 Pa

Explanation:

The formula for pressure is force per unit area.

P=F/A where  F is force and A is area

Given that ;

F= mass * acceleration due to gravity

F= 60 * 9.81 = 588.6 = 589 N

A= area = 4cm² = 0.0004 m²

P= F/A = 589 / 0.0004

P= 1471500

P=1500000 Pa

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

What part of the light wave is related to the brightness of the light?

Amplitude

The amplitude of a wave tells us about the intensity or brightness of the light relative to other light waves of the same wavelength

The brightness of light is related to intensity or the amount of light an object emits or reflects. Brightness depends on light wave amplitude, the height of light waves. Brightness is also somewhat influenced by wavelength.

a child stands with each foot on a different scale. The left scale reads 200N and the right scale reads 150N. what is her mass i
vitfil [10]

Answer:

35.7 kg

Explanation:

We are given that

Left scale reads =200N

Right scale reads=150 N

We have to find the mass in kg.

We know that

Weight  of child= Sum of two scales=200+150=350 N

Acceleration due to gravity=9.8 m/s^2

We know that

Weight= mg

Using the formula

350=9.8 m

m=\frac{350}{9.8}=35.7 kg

Hence, the mass of child=35.7 kg

Beginning about 55 seconds into the video, you'll see an animation of a photographer looking through her camera at a man, a set
RideAnS [48]

Answer and Explanation

The concept of parallax and relative motion is responsible for this.

That is, the photographer's motion prompts her to see parallax for the man and the trees, because their positions appear to keep shifting even though they are not really moving.

How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 90g of water by 64oC?
wel
The heat released or absorbed by a process where temperature changes is calculated from the product of the mass of the sample, its heat capacity (4.18 J/g C for water) and the change of the temperature.

Heat = mC(T)
Heat = 90 (4.8) (64) = 27648 J or 27.65 kJ needed
