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

A gardener mows a lawn with an old-fashioned push mower. The handle of the mower makes an angle of 320 with the surface of the l
Virty [35]

Answer:

N = 337.96 N

Explanation:

∅ = 32º

F = 249 N

m = 21 Kg

N = ?

We can apply:

∑ F = 0  (↑)

- Fy - W + N = 0   ⇒    N = Fy + W

⇒  F*Sin ∅ + m*g = N

⇒  N = (249 N*Sin32º) + (21 Kg*9.81 m/s²)

⇒  N = 337.96 N  (↑)

Why is it that an object can accelerate while
posledela

For the same reason that you can skate around a curve at constant speed but not with constant velocity.

The DIRECTION you're going is part of your velocity, but it's not part of your speed.

If the DIRECTION changes, that's a change of velocity.

The object doesn't have to change speed to have a different velocity. A change of direction is enough to do it.

And any change of velocity is called acceleration.
