Answer:

<em>The greatest pressure is 2178 Pa</em>

Explanation:

<u>Pressure</u>

It's the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which the force is distributed.

If F is the force applied and A is the surface area, the pressure is calculated as:

\displaystyle P=\frac{F}{A}

The brick has dimensions of 25 cm by 9 cm by 5 cm. There are three possible areas of contact:

A_1=25*9 = 225 cm^2=0.0225\ m^2

A_2=25*5= 125 cm^2=0.0125\ m^2

A_3=9*5= 45 cm^2=0.0045\ m^2

The  brick has a mass of m=1000 g = 1 Kg and exerts a force equal to its weight when placed on a flat surface, thus:

F = m.g = 1 * 9.8 = 9.8 N

The greatest possible pressure will occur when the area is the least possible (0.0045\ m^2), since the pressure and the area are inversely proportional, thus:

\displaystyle P_{max}=\frac{9.8}{0.0045}

\displaystyle P_{max}=2178 \ Pa

The greatest pressure is 2178 Pa

There are two different alleles for the number of fingers on the hands: 5 finger allele and 6 finger allele. When both the 5 fin
padilas [110]

Answer:

The 6 fingers allele is dominant

Explanation:

We are told that the the individual is genotypically heterozygous, that is the have both types of the finger allele: the 5 finger allele and the 6 fingers allele however phenotypically, 6 fingers are observed. From this we can conclude that the 6 fingers allele is the one that is dominant because it is the one that is expressed phenotypically.

The girl makes a microscope with a 3.0 cm focal length objective and a 5.0 cm eyepiece. The microscope tube length is 10 cm. Use
saul85 [17]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to Magnification. Magnification is the process of enlarging the apparent size, not physical size, of something. This enlargement is quantified by a calculated number also called "magnification".

The overall magnification of microscope is

M = \frac{Nl}{f_ef_0}

Where

N = Near point

l = distance between the object lens and eye lens

f_0= Focal length

f_e= Focal of eyepiece

Given that the minimum distance at which the eye is able to focus is about 25cm we have that N = 25cm

Replacing,

M = \frac{25*10}{3*5}

M = 16.67\approx 17\\

Therefore the correct answer is C.

Visible light falls into wavelength ranges of 400-700 nm, for which 1 m = 1 × 10 9 nm . The energy and wavelength of light are r
Paul [167]

Answer:

E = 3.54 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

The energy of the photon can be given in terms of its wavelength by the use of the following formula:

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

where,

E = energy = ?

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ Js

c = speed of light = 2.998 x 10⁸ m/s

λ =  wavelength of light = 560.6 nm = 5.606 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

E = \frac{(6.626\ x\ 10^{-34}\ Js)(3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s)}{5.606\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}\\

<u>E = 3.54 x 10⁻¹⁹ J</u>

5. An acrobat, starting from rest, swings freely on a trapeze of
34kurt

The energy conservation and trigonometry we can find the results for the questions about the movement of the acrobat are;

     a) The maximum speed is v = 4.89 m / s

     b) The maximum height is h = 1.22 m

The energy conservation is one of the most fundamental principles of physics, stable that if there are no friction forces the mechanistic energy remains constant. Mechanical energy is the sum of the kinetic energy plus the potential energies.

               Em = K + U

Let's write the energy in two points.

Starting point. Highest part of the oscillation

            Em₀ = U = m g h

Final point. Lower part of the movement

            Em_f = K = ½ m v²

Energy is conserved.

            Emo = Em_f  

            m g h = ½ m v²

            v² = 2 gh

Let's use trigonometry to find the height, see attached.

         h = L - L cos θ

         h = L (1- cos θ)

They indicate that the initial angle is tea = 48º and the length is L = 3.7 m, let's calculate.

         h = 3.7 (1- cos 48)

          h = 1.22 m

this  is the maximum height of the movement.

Let's calculate the velocity.  

          v= \sqrt{2 \ 9.8 \ 1.22}  

          v = 4.89 m / s

In conclusion using the conservation of energy and trigonometry we can find the results for the questions about the movement of the acrobat are;

     a) The maximum speed is v = 4.89 m / s

     b) The maximum height is h = 1.22 m
