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:

P = 1471500 [Pa]

Explanation:

We must remember that pressure is defined as the relationship between Force over the area.

P=F/A

where:

P = pressure [Pa] (units of pascals)

F = force [N] (units of Newtons)

A = area of contact = 4 [cm²]

But first we must convert from cm² to m²

A = 4[cm^{2}]*\frac{1^{2} m^{2} }{100^{2} cm^{2} }

A = 0.0004 [m²]

Also, the weight should be calculated as follows:

w = m*g

where:

m = mass = 60 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

Now replacing:

w = 60*9.81\\w = 588.6[N]

And the pressure:

P=588.6/0.0004\\P=1471500 [Pa]

Because 1 [Pa] = 1 [N/m²]

When the termination is a terminal block, care must be taken to ensure a good electrical connection without damaging the conduct
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

When the termination is a terminal block, care must be taken to ensure a good electrical connection without damaging the conductor. Terminals should not be used for more than one

Explanation:

The Terminal block being a modular block, having insulated frame, which can secure more than two wires in it. It has a conducting strip in it. These terminal clocks helps in making the connection safer as well as organised. These terminal blocks are used for power distribution in safer way. Its potential is it can distribute power from single to multiple output. The conductor is used for making it proper contact.

what is the transfer of heat energy by direct contact. A . convection b. radiation c. thermal or heat and d. conduction ​
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

d. conduction ​

Explanation:

Conduction involves the transfer of electric charge or thermal energy due to the movement of particles. When the conduction relates to electric charge, it is known as electrical conduction while when it relates to thermal energy, it is known as heat conduction.

In the process of heat conduction, thermal energy is usually transferred from fast moving particles to slow moving particles during the collision of these particles. Also, thermal energy is typically transferred between objects that has different degrees of temperature and materials (particles) that are directly in contact with each other but differ in their ability to accept or give up electrons.

Any material or object that allow the conduction (transfer) of electric charge or thermal energy is generally referred to as a conductor. Conductors include metal, steel, aluminum, copper, frying pan, pot, spoon etc.

In conclusion, conduction typically involves the transfer of heat energy by direct contact between two or more conductors such as a pot and electric cooker.

D section a only still need help on this
SIZIF [17.4K]

Acceleration means speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction. The graph doesn't show anything about direction, so we just have to examine it for speeding up or slowing down ... any change of speed.

The y-axis of this graph IS speed. So the height of a point on the line is speed. If the line is going up or down, then speed is changing.

Sections a, c, and d are all going up or down. Section b is the only one where speed is not changing. So we can't be sure about b, because we don't know if the track may be curving ... the graph can't tell us that. But a, c, and d are DEFINITELY showing acceleration.
