Calculate the pressure on the ground from an 80 kg woman leaning on the back of one of her shoes with a 1cm diameter heel, and c

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Pressure of woman will be $99.87\times 10^5N/m^2$

Pressure of the elephant will be $1716560.50N/m^2$

Explanation:

We have given that mass of the woman m = 80 kg

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

Diameter of shoes = 1 cm =0.01 m

So radius $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.01}{2}=0.005m$

So area $A=\pi r^2=3.14\times 0.005^2=7.85\times 10^{-5}m^2$

We know that force is given F = mg

So $F=80\times 9.8=784N$

Now we know that pressure is given by $P=\frac{F}{A}=\frac{784}{7.85\times 10^{-5}}=99.87\times 10^5N/m^2$

Now mass of elephant m = 5500 kg

So force of elephant = 5500×9.8 = 53900 N

Diameter = 20 cm

So radius r = 10 cm

So area will be $A=3.14\times 0.1^2=0.0314m^2$

So pressure will be $P=\frac{53900}{0.0314}=1716560.50N/m^2$

What is 1.2 kg converted into mg.<br> I need to know for step by step please?

astra-53 [7]

Here’s a good photo to reference when converting in the metric system.

Each time you move down a step you move the decimal to the right, each time you move up a step you move the decimal to the left.

We are going from 1.2 kg or kilograms, which is at the very top left of the ladder. To get to mg or milligrams, we would have to make six jumps, so we’d move the decimal over six times.

1.2 > 12. > 120. > 1200. > 12000. > 120000. > 1200000.

So our final answer would be 1,200,000mg.

An oscillator consists of a block of mass 0.373 kg connected to a spring. When set into oscillation with amplitude 33 cm, the os

aniked [119]

Answer:

(a) T = 0.412s

(b) f = 2.42Hz

(d) k = 86.75N/m

(e) vmax = 5.03 m/s

Explanation:

Given information:

m: mass of the block = 0.373kg

A: amplitude of oscillation = 22cm = 0.22m

T: period of oscillation = 0.412s

(a) The period is the time of one complete oscillation = 0.412s

The period is 0.412s

(b) The frequency is calculated by using the following formula:

$f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{0.412s}=2.42Hz$

The frequency is 2.42 Hz

(c) The angular frequency is:

$\omega=2\pi f=2\pi (2.42Hz)=15.25\frac{rad}{s}$

The angular frequency is 15.25 rad/s

(d) The spring constant is calculated by solving the following equation for k:

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\\\k=m\omega^2=(0.373kg)(15.25rad/s)^2=86.75\frac{N}{m}$

The spring constant is 86.75N/m

(e) The maximum speed is:

$v_{max}=\omega A=(15.25rad/s)(0.33m)=5.03\frac{m}{s}$

(f) The maximum force applied by the spring if for the maximum elongation, that is, the amplitude:

$F=kA=(86.75N/m)(0.2m)=17.35N$

The maximum force that the spring exerts on the block is 17.35N

Much of the oil and natural gas in the united states is located in

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

oil production in the USA are majorly from this states:

1.Texas

2. North Dakota

3. California

4. Alaska

5. New Mexico

6. Oklahoma

7.Colorado

8. Wyoming

Explanation:

While other states have seen a boom in recent years, Texas is still the epicenter of the U.S. oil industry, with 27 operable refineries, more than any state. Texas produced 1.2 billion barrels of oil in 2014, which accounted for 36% of total U.S. output, and the state has almost one-third of all proven oil reserves with 10.5 billion barrels.
