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

If a 1-megaton nuclear weapon is exploded

Elenna [48]

Answer:

1,780,000 N

Explanation:

0.2 atm × (1.013×10⁵ Pa/atm) = 20,260 Pa

Force = pressure × area

F = 20,260 Pa × (3.89 m × 22.6 m)

F = 1,780,000 N

Which component of weight is cause for S.H.M of bob simple pendulum

jeka57 [31]

Explanation:

The Simple Pendulum. A simple pendulum is defined to have a point mass, also known as the pendulum bob, which is suspended from a string of length L with negligible mass ((Figure)). Here, the only forces acting on the bob are the force of gravity (i.e., the weight of the bob) and tension from the string.

A thermometer is removed from a room where the temperature is 70° F and is taken outside, where the air temperature is 10° F. Af

Answer:

$T=51.64^\circ F$

$t=180.10s$

Explanation:

The Newton's law in this case is:

$T(t)=T_m+Ce^{kt}$

Here, $T_m$ is the air temperture, C and k are constants.

We have

$70^\circ F$ in $t=0$

So:

$T(0)=70^\circ F\\T(0)=10^\circ F+Ce^{k(0)}\\70^\circ F=10^\circ F+C\\C=70^\circ F-10^\circ F=60^\circ F$

And we have $60^\circ F$ in $t=30 s$ , So:

$T(30)=60^\circ F\\T(30)=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{k(30)}\\60^\circ F=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{k(30)}\\50^\circ F=(60^\circ F)e^{k(30)}\\e^{k(30)}=\frac{50^\circ F}{60^\circ F}\\(30)k=ln(\frac{50}{60})\\k=\frac{ln(\frac{50}{60})}{30}=-0.0061$

Now, we have:

$T=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{-0.0061t}(1)$

Applying (1) for $t=1 min=60s$ :

$T=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{-0.0061*60}\\T=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)0.694\\T=10^\circ F+41.64^\circ F\\T=51.64^\circ F$

Applying (1) for $T=30^\circ F$ :

$30^\circ F=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{-0.0061t}\\30^\circ F-10^\circ F=(60^\circ F)e^{-0.0061t}\\-0.0061t=ln(\frac{20}{60})\\t=\frac{ln(\frac{20}{60})}{-0.0061}=180.10s$
