Answer:
64 kPa
Explanation:
The pressure exerted by a force on a surface is given by

where
p is the pressure
F is the force
A is the area on which the force is exerted
In this problem, let's call:
F = the weight of the performer, which is the force
A = the area of 1 stilt
At the beginning, the performer is standing on both stilts, so the area on which he exerts pressure is 2A. So the pressure is
(1)
Later, he stands on one stilt only. The force exerted is still the same (his weight), however, the area is now reduced to A; therefore, the new pressure is

which is twice the value calculated in (1); so, the new pressure is

Answer:
The new kinetic energy would be 16 times greater than before.
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is found using this formula:
- KE = 1/2mv²
- where KE = kinetic energy (J), m = mass (kg), and v = velocity (m/s)
We can see that kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the velocity, meaning that if the speed was increased by 4 times, then the kinetic energy would get increased by a factor of 16.
The velocity just before the ball hits the ground can be found by the equation:
Let's substitute h = 10 m and h = 40 m into this formula.
We can see that the velocity increases by a factor of 4 (10 m → 40 m).
Therefore, this means that the kinetic energy would also be increased by a factor of (4)² = 16. Thus, the answer is D) The new kinetic energy would be 16 times greater than before.
Answer:
373 K
Explanation:
To convert from °C to kelvin, you add the value to 273
Therefore,
100°C = (100+273)K
= 373K
