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)

A car has 10,800 kg m/s of momentum as it collides with a trash dumpster AT REST.
Delvig [45]

Answer:

10800 kg m/s

Explanation:

Since the dumpster was initially at rest, its momentum before collision equal to zero. So that the total momentum of the car and dumpster before collision is 10800 kg m/s.

The principle of conservation of linear momentum states that: in a system of colliding bodies, total momentum is conserved. Therefore, the total momentum of the car and dumpster after collision is 10800 kg m/s.

A 250 kg flatcar 25 m long is moving with a speed of 3.0 m/s along horizontal frictionless rails. A 61 kg worker starts walking
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

x=31.09m

Explanation:

p1=p2

The momentum of flatcar and the momentum of the worker so

The velocity of the worker is:

m_{f}*v_{f}=m_{w}*v_{w}\\\\v_{f}=\frac{m_{f}*v_{f}}{m_{w}}\\v_{f}=\frac{61kg*3.0\frac{m}{s}}{250kg}\\v_{f}=0.732\frac{m}{s}

The total motion has a total velocity and is

Vt=v_{w}+v_{f}\\Vt=0.732\frac{m}{s}+3.0\frac{m}{s}\\Vt=3.732\frac{m}{s}

The time the worker take walking is

t=\frac{x}{v_{w}}\\t=\frac{25m}{3\frac{m}{s}}=8.33s

Now the total time and the total velocity determinate the motion of tha flatcar how far has moved

x=t*Vt\\x=8.33s*3.732\frac{m}{s} \\x=31.09m

A truck drives with a constant linear speed v_iv i ​ v, start subscript, i, end subscript down a road with two curves. The first
Alex

Answer:

(C) Decreases by factor of 3

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is given by

a = \dfrac{v^2}{r}

where <em>v</em> is the linear velocity and <em>r</em> is the radius of the curve.

Let the centripetal acceleration on the curve of radius <em>R</em> be a_1.

Then

a_1 = \dfrac{v_i^2}{R}

Let the centripetal acceleration on the curve of radius 3<em>R</em> be a_2.

Then

a_2 = \dfrac{v_i^2}{3R} = \dfrac{1}{3}\dfrac{v_i^2}{R} = \dfrac{1}{3}a_1

Here, we see that the acceleration decreases by a factor of 3.

A radioactive substance decays exponentially. A scientist begins with 200 milligrams of a radioactive substance. After 17 hours,
lianna [129]

75.17 mg of the radioactive substance will remain after 24 hours.

Answer:

Explanation:

Any radioactive substance will obey the exponential decay behavior. So according to this behavior, any radioactive substance will be decaying in terms of exponential form of disintegration constant and Time.

Disintegration constant is the rate of decay of radioactive elements. It can be measured using the half life time of the radioactive element .While half life time is the time taken by any radioactive element to decay half of its concentration. Like in this case, at first the scientist took 200 mg then after 17 hours, it got reduced to 100 g. So the half life time of this element is 17 hours.

Then Disintegration constant = 0.6932/Half Life time

Disintegration constant = 0.6932/17=0.041

Then as per the law of disintegration constant:

N = N_{0}e^{-xt}

Here N is the amount of radioactive element remaining at time t and N_{0} is the initial amount of sample, x is the disintegration constant.

So here, N_{0} = 200 mg, x = 0.041 and t = 24 hrs.

N = 200 ×e^{-24*0.041} =75.17 mg.

So 75.17 mg of the radioactive substance will remain after 24 hours.
