This dude was sitting in the chair. Someone pulls the chair out from under him. He does not move in the direction of the chair.

He simply falls to the ground in the same spot he was sitting. This shows inertia because:

Answer:

This shows inertia because inertia is an object's resistance to change in motion. When the person (imma call them a she) who pulled the chair from under the guy did that, the chair was the one affected by the force of the girl, not the guy. The guy continued heading in the direction he was originally going, which was down.

At least, that's about how I would answer this question.

Which would you expect to freeze faster pure water or salt solution why?
krek1111 [17]
Pure water.

A salt solution contains impurities whereas pure water will not contain any impurities.

Impurities increase the boiling point (freezing point) of a substance.

Thus, I would expect the pure water solution to freeze faster than the salt solution.

What is the force required to move a block of mass 150 pound by a distance of 5ft in 8 seconds?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Force required to move a block is 1.615 N

Given:

mass of block = m = 150 pounds = 68 kg

distance = d = 5 ft = 1.52 metres

time = t = 8 sec

To Find:

force required to move the block

Solution: Force is defined as product of mass and acceleration and it's unit is N or Newton.

Velocity = displacement/ time = 1.52 / 8 = 0.19 m/s

Acceleration = velocity/time = 0.19/8 =

0.023 m/s^2

Force = mass x acceleration = 68x0.023 = 1.615 N

Hence, force required to move the block is 1.615 N

A 81 kg person sits on a 3.8 kg chair. Each leg of the chair makes contact with the floor in a circle that is 1.2 cm in diameter
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

1.9 MPa

Explanation:

Mass of person = 81 kg

Mass of chair = 3.8 kg

Diameter of contact point = 1.2 cm = D

Radius of contact point = 1.2/2 = 0.6 cm

Total mass of chair and person = 81 + 3.8 = 84.8 kg = M

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Force acting on the floor

<em>F = Mg</em>

<em>⇒F = 84.8×9.81</em>

<em>⇒F = 831.888 N</em>

Area of the contact point

<em>A = πR²</em>

<em>⇒A = π0.006²</em>

<em>⇒A = π0.000036 m²</em>

Area of the four points is

<em>4A = 0.000144π m²</em>

Pressure

p=\frac{F}{A}\\\Rightarrow p=\frac{831.888}{0.000144\pi}\\\Rightarrow p=1838876.21\ Pa=1.83887621\times 10^6\ Pa=1.9 MPa

Pressure exerted on the floor by each leg of the chair is 1.9 MPa

Compute the density in g/cm^3 of a piece of metal that had mass of 0.485 kg and a volume of 52cm^3
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

9.3 g/cm³

Explanation:

First, convert kg to g:

0.485 kg × (1000 g / kg) = 485 g

Density is mass divided by volume:

D = (485 g) / (52 cm³)

D = 9.33 g/cm³

Rounding to two significant figures, the density is 9.3 g/cm³.

A fisherman is fishing from a bridge and is using a "50.0-N test line." In other words, the line will sustain a maximum force of
umka21 [38]

Answer:(a) 50 N

(b)38.34 N

Explanation:

Given

Maximum tension(T) in line 50 N

(a)If line is moving up with constant velocity i.e. there is no acceleration

This will happen when Tension is equal to weight of Fish

T-mg=0

T=mg

Maximum weight in this case will be 50 N

(b)acceleration of magnitude 2.98 m/s^2

T-mg=ma

50=m\left ( g+a\right )

50=m\left ( 12.78\right )

m=3.91

Therefore weight is 3.91\times 9.8=38.34 N
