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 small but measurable current of 3.8 × 10-10 A exists in a copper wire whose diameter is 2.5 mm. The number of charge carriers
Karolina [17]

Answer:

a) 4.9*10^-6

b) 5.71*10^-15

Explanation:

Given

current, I = 3.8*10^-10A

Diameter, D = 2.5mm

n = 8.49*10^28

The equation for current density and speed drift is

J = I/A = (ne) Vd

A = πD²/4

A = π*0.0025²/4

A = π*6.25*10^-6/4

A = 4.9*10^-6

Now,

J = I/A

J = 3.8*10^-10/4.9*10^-6

J = 7.76*10^-5

Electron drift speed is

J = (ne) Vd

Vd = J/(ne)

Vd = 7.76*10^-5/(8.49*10^28)*(1.60*10^-19)

Vd = 7.76*10^-5/1.3584*10^10

Vd = 5.71*10^-15

Therefore, the current density and speed drift are 4.9*10^-6

And 5.71*10^-15 respectively

If a nearsighted person has a far point df that is 3.50m from the eye, what is the focal length f1 of the contact lenses that th
olga55 [171]

Answer:

f1= -350cm or -3.5m

f2= 22.1cm or 0.221m

Explanation:

A person is nearsighted when the person's far point is less than infinity. A diverging lens is normally used to correct this eye defect. A diverging lens has a negative focal length as seen in the solution attached.

Farsightedness is when a person's near point is farther than 25cm. This eye defect is corrected using a converging lens. The focal length of a converging lens is positive. This is evident in the solution attached. The near point is also referred to as the least distance of distinct vision.

Bill leaves his 60 W desk lamp on every day, including weekends, for eight hours. After one month (30 days), how much total ener
maxonik [38]

' W ' is the symbol for 'Watt' ... the unit of power equal to 1 joule/second.

That's all the physics we need to know to answer this question.
The rest is just arithmetic.

(60 joules/sec) · (30 days) · (8 hours/day) · (3600 sec/hour)

= (60 · 30 · 8 · 3600) (joule · day · hour · sec) / (sec · day · hour)

= 51,840,000 joules

Wait a minute !  Hold up !  Hee haw !  Whoa ! 
Excuse me.  That will never do.
I see they want the answer in units of kilowatt-hours (kWh).
In that case, it's

(60 watts) · (30 days) · (8 hours/day) · (1 kW/1,000 watts)

= (60 · 30 · 8 · 1 / 1,000) (watt · day · hour · kW / day · watt)

= 14.4 kW·hour

Rounded to the nearest whole number:

14 kWh

A car moves forward up a hill at 12 m/s with a uniform backward acceleration of 1.6 m/s2. What is its displacement after 6 s?
Romashka [77]

Answer:

The displacement of the car after 6s is 43.2 m

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of the car, v = 12 m/s

acceleration of the car, a = -1.6 m/s² (backward acceleration)

time of motion, t = 6 s

The displacement of the car after 6s is given by the following kinematic equation;

d = ut + ¹/₂at²

d = (12 x 6) + ¹/₂(-1.6)(6)²

d = 72 - 28.8

d = 43.2 m

Therefore, the displacement of the car after 6s is 43.2 m
