Answer:

Yes the tile can withstand a force 5 N

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting the dimensions from cm to in. This can be obtained as follow:

Dimension = 50 cm x 50cm

Recall

2.54 cm = 1 in

Therefore,

50 cm = 50 cm × 1 in / 2.54 cm

50 cm = 19.685 in

Thus, the dimension becomes:

Dimension = 19.685 in × 19.685 in

Next, we shall determine the area. This can be obtained as follow:

Dimension = 19.685 in × 19.685 in

Area = 19.685 in × 19.685 in

Area = 387.5 in²

Next, we shall determine the force to which the tile can withstand. This can be obtained as follow:

Pressure (P) = 40 N/in²

Area (A) = 387.5 in²

Force (F) =?

P = F/A

40 = F/387.5

Cross multiply

F = 40 × 387.5

F = 15500 N

Thus, the tile can withstand a force up to 15500 N.

Therefore, the answer to the question is:

Yes the tile can withstand a force 5 N

A bowling ball of mass 5.8 kg moves in a straight line at 4.34 m/s How fast must a Ping-Pong ball of mass 2.214 g move in a stra

lilavasa [31]

Answer: 11369.46 m/s

Explanation:

We have the following data:

$m_{1}=5.8 kg$ is the mass of the bowling ball

$V_{1}=4.34 m/s$ is the velocity of the bowling ball

$m_{2}=2.214 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.002214 kg$ is the mass of the ping-pong ball

$V_{2}$ is the velocity of the ping-pong ball

Now, the momentum $p_{1}$ of the bowling ball is:

$p_{1}=m_{1}V_{1}$ (1)

$p_{1}=(5.8 kg)(4.34 m/s)$

$p_{1}=25.172 kg m/s$ (2)

And the momentum $p_{2}$ of the ping-pong ball is:

$p_{2}=m_{2}V_{2}$ (3)

If the momentum of the bowling ball is equal to the momentum of the ping-pong ball:

$p_{1}=p_{2}$ (4)

$m_{1}V_{1}=m_{2}V_{2}$ (5)

Isolating $V_{2}$ :

$V_{2}=\frac{m_{1}V_{1}}{m_{2}}$ (6)

$V_{2}=\frac{25.172 kg m/s}{0.002214 kg}$ (7)

Finally:

$V_{2}=11369.46 m/s$

Explain: What happens to the velocity of a stream as the size of the sediment increases?

artcher [175]

Answer:

Also, as stream depth increases, the hydraulic radius increases thereby making the stream more free flowing. Both of these factors lead to an increase in stream velocity. The increased velocity and the increased cross-sectional area mean that discharge increases.

irina [24]

All the boats operating at night requires Navigation light.

Navigation light helps prevent collisions between boats and see if visibility is poor. The types of boat are : Rowboats, Tug boats, Vessels, Sailboat etc.

Various boats have different lightning color to show its use and side of the boat.
