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

There's an electric field in some region of space that doesn't change with position. An electron starts moving with a speed of 2

tangare [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

speed of Electron $u=2\times 10^7\ m/s$

final speed of Electron $v=4\times 10^7\ m/s$

distance traveled $d=1.2\ cm$

using equation of motion

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where v=Final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

$(4\times 10^7)^2-(2\times 10^7)^2=2\times a\times 1.2\times 10^{-2}$

$a=5\times 10^{16}\ m/s^2$

acceleration is given by $a=\frac{qE}{m}$

where q=charge of electron

m=mass of electron

E=electric Field strength

$5\times 10^{16}=\frac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\cdot E}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}$

$E=248.3\ kN/C$

If wave A has twice the amplitude and three times the frequency as wave B, then the energy carried by wave A must be ____ times

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

4 times

Explanation:

As we know that the energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave,

Here, the amplitude of the wave A is twice as compared to B.

So, the energy of wave A is 4 times the energy of wave B.
