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

Dx= 7.14m and Dy = -7.55m<br> What is the direction and magnitude of the vector
KengaRu [80]

The Magnitude of the Vector is 10.39m and the direction of the vector is - 46.7°.

<u>Explanation:</u>

GIven dx=7.14m and dy= -7.55m,

The Magnitude of the Vector=\sqrt{dy^{2} +dx^{2} }

Magnitude d= \sqrt{(7.14)^{2} +(-7.55)^{2} } .

                  d=\sqrt{50.97+57}

                  d=\sqrt{107.98}

                  d= 10.39m.

Direction Ф = tan^{-1}\frac{dy}{dx}

                      =tan^{-1} \frac{-7.55}{7.14}      

                      = tan^{-1}(-1.06)

                Ф    = - 46.7°.

Modern oil tankers weigh over a half-million tons and have lengths of up to one-fourth mile. Such massive ships require a distan
sergiy2304 [10]

(a) -1.46\cdot 10^{-4} m/s^2

The average acceleration of the ship is given by

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time elapsed

Here we have:

u=34 km/h =9.44 m/s is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity

t=18 min =64800 s is the time elapsed

Substituting, we find

a=\frac{0-9.44 m/s}{64800 s}=-1.46\cdot 10^{-4} m/s^2

(b) 4.72 m/s

Assuming the acceleration is uniform, the average velocity of the ship is given by:

v_{avg} = \frac{v+u}{2}

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

Here we have:

v = 0

u = 9.44 m/s

So the average velocity of the ship is

v_{avg} = \frac{0+9.44 m/s}{2}=4.72 m/s

A large piece of jewelry has a mass of 132.6 g. a graduated cylinder initially contains 48.6 ml water. when the jewelry is subme
Lerok [7]

The density of the substance is<u> 10.5 g/cm³.</u>

The jewelry is made out of <u>Silver.</u>

Density ρ is defined as the ratio of mass <em>m</em> of the substance to its volume V<em>. </em> The cylinder contains a volume <em>V₁ of water</em> and when the jewelry is immersed in it, the total volume of water and the jewelry is found to be V₂.

The volume <em>V</em> of the jewelry is given by,

V=V_2 -V_1

Substitute 48.6 ml for <em>V₁ </em>and 61.2 ml for V₂.

V=V_2 -V_1\\ =61.2 ml -48.6 ml\\ =12.6 ml

calculate the density ρ of the jewelry using the expression,

\rho =\frac{m}{V}

Substitute 132.6 g for <em>m</em> and 12.6 ml for <em>V</em>.

\rho =\frac{m}{V}\\ =\frac{132.6 g}{12.6 ml} \\ =10.5 g/ml

Since 1 ml=1 cm^3,

The density of the jewelry is <u> 10.5 g/cm³.</u>

From standard tables, it can be seen that the substance used to make the jewelry is <u>silver</u><em><u>, </u></em>which has a density 10.5 g/cm³.

A stationary, 1000 kg car starts at the top of a 10 meter hill. What is the total energy of the car
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: 98,000 J

Explanation: The total energy or mechanical energy is expressed in the following equation:

ME= PE + KE

PE = mgh

= 1000 kg x 9.8 m/s² x 10m

= 98000 J

ME = PE - KE

= 98000 J - 0 J

= 98000 J
