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

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

2874.33 m/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-0^2}{2\times h}\\\Rightarrow v^2=2ah\ m/s

Now H-h = 0.588 - 0.002 = 0.586 m

The final velocity will be the initial velocity

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow 0^2-u^2=2gs\\\Rightarrow -2ah=2\times g(H-h)\\\Rightarrow -2a0.002=2\times g0.586\\\Rightarrow a=-\frac{0.586\times -9.81}{0.002}\\\Rightarrow a=2874.33\ m/s^2

Acceleration of the frog is 2874.33 m/s²

Perpetual motion machines have fascinated people especially inventors for hundreds of years before the laws of thermodynamics be
Cerrena [4.2K]

Given the fact that energy conversion is not entirely efficient, it is impossible to produce a perpetual motion machine.

<h3>What is a perpetual motion machine?</h3>

The perpetual motion machine in one that is able to work continuously without stopping. This would mean that the efficiency of this machine must that the machine is 100% efficient which violates the second law of thermodynamics.

Thus, given the fact that energy conversion is not entirely efficient and energy looses cause machines not function effectively, it is impossible to produce a perpetual motion machine.

A centrifuge in a forensics laboratory rotates at an angular speed of 3,700 rev/min. When switched off, it rotates 46.0 times be
ra1l [238]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given,

initial angular speed, ω = 3,700 rev/min

                                      = 3700\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}=387.27\ rad/s

final angular speed = 0 rad/s

Number of time it rotates= 46 times

angular displacement, θ = 2π x 46 = 92 π

Angular acceleration

\alpha = \dfrac{\omega_f^2 - \omega^2}{2\theta}

\alpha = \dfrac{0 - 387.27^2}{2\times 92\ pi}

\alpha = -259.28 rad/s^2
