Consider a box weight 2700 newtons resting on the ground. If the area of the box touching the ground is 1.5 square meters, what

pressure does the box exert on the ground ?
Physics

Answer:

The answer to your question is 1800 Pa

Explanation:

Data

Weight = 2700 N

Area = 1.5 m²

Pressure = ?

Formula

Pressure = Force / Area

The Pressure is defined as the force exerted per unit area.

-Substitution

 Pressure = 2700 / 1.5

-Result

 Pressure = 1800 Pa

The units of pressure are Pascals (Pa)

Can a tank of oxygen gas ever be half empty?
alisha [4.7K]
No. Any amount of gas always expands to completely fill
whatever container it's in.

So, as you take oxygen out of the tank, the pressure of what's
left in the tank certainly becomes less and less, but whatever is
left in the tank always expands and fills the whole tank. 

(And then, eventually, when the pressure inside the tank drops
to equal the pressure outside it (atmospheric pressure), you could
cut off the whole top of the tank and nothing more would come out.)

SCUBA divers regularly talk about having a 'full tank', and 'half a tank',
and maybe a 'quarter tank'.  But that refers to the amount of time that
the tank can still deliver air to them under water.  It's not the amount
of volume inside the tank that's full or empty.  The inside of the tank
is always full. 

Think about it this way:  ==>  There's no way to take half of the air
out of a balloon, leaving it half empty and still inflated. Doesn't happen.

Car A is accelerating in the direction of its motion at the rate of 3 ft /sec2. Car B is rounding a curve of 440-ft radius at a
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Incomplete question

Check attachment for the diagram of the problem.

Explanation:

The acceleration of the car A is given as

a=3ft/s²

Car B is rounding a curve of radius

r=440ft

Car B is moving at constant speed of Vb=30mi/hr.

Car A reach a speed of 45mi/hr

Note, 1 mile = 5280ft

And 1 hour= 3600s

Then

Va=45mi/hr=45×5280/3600

Va=66ft/s

Also,

Vb=30mi/hour=30×5280/3600

Vb=44ft/s

Now,

a. Let write the relative velocity of car B, relative to car A

Vb = Va + Vb/a

Then,

Using triangle rule, because vectors cannot be added automatically

Vb/a²= Vb²+Va²-2Va•VbCosθ

From the given graphical question the angle between Va and Vb is 60°.

Vb/a²=44²+66² - 2•44•66Cos60

Vb/a²=1936+ 4356 - 5808Cos60

Vb/a² = 3388

Vb/a = √3388

Vb/a = 58.21 ft/s

The direction is given as

Using Sine Rule

a/SinA = b/SinB = c/SinC

i.e.

Va/SinA = Vb/SinB = (Vb/a)/SinC

66/SinA = 44/SinB = 58.21/Sin60

Then, to get B

44/SinB = 58.21/Sin60

44Sin60/58.21  = SinB

0.6546 = SinB

B=arcsin(0.6546)

B=40.89°

b. The acceleration of Car B due to Car A.

Let write the relative acceleration  of car B, relative to car A.

Let Aa be acceleration of car A

Ab be the acceleration of car B.

Ab = Aa + Ab/a

Given the acceleration of car A

Aa=3ft/s²

Then to get the acceleration of car B, using the tangential acceleration formular

a = v²/r

Ab = Vb²/r

Ab = 44²/440

Ab = 4.4ft/s²

Using cosine rule again as above

Ab/a²= Aa²+Ab² - 2•Aa•Ab•Cosθ

Ab/a²= 3²+4.4²- 2•3•4.4•Cos30

Ab/a²= 9+19.36 - 22.863

Ab/a² = 5.497

Ab/a = √5.497

Ab/a = 2.34ft/s²

To get the direction using Sine rule again, as done above

Using Sine Rule

a/SinA = b/SinB = c/SinC

i.e.

Aa/SinA = Ab/SinB = (Ab/a)/SinC

3/SinA = 4.4/SinB = 2.34/Sin30

Then, to get B

4.4/SinB = 2.34/Sin30

4.4Sin30/2.34 = SinB

0.9402 = SinB

B=arcsin(0.9402)

B=70.1°

Since B is obtuse, the other solution for Sine is given as

B= nπ - θ.   , when n=1

B=180-70.1

B=109.92°

1. A 1000 kg bag of sand has an<br> acceleration of 0.5m/s/s. What is the<br> force on the bag?
densk [106]

Answer:

We conclude that the force on the bag is 500 N.

Explanation:

Given

  • Mass m = 1000 kg
  • Acceleration a = 0.5 m/s²

To determine

Force F = ?

We know that when a force is applied to a body, it produces acceleration.

<u>Important Tip: </u>

  • We can determine the force on the bag using the formula F = ma

Using the formula

F = ma

where

  • F is the force
  • m is the mass
  • a is the acceleration

now substitute m = 1000, and a = 0.5 m/s² in the formula

F = ma

F = (1000)(0.5)

F=500 N

Therefore, we conclude that the force on the bag is 500 N.

Why solid keep their shape?
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Solids can hold their shape because their molecules are tightly packed together. ... Atoms and molecules in liquids and gases are bouncing and floating around, free to move where they want. The molecules in a solid are stuck in a specific structure or arrangement of atoms

Hope this helps ☆*:. o(≧▽≦)o .:*☆
