Answer:

Maximum pressure = 4450 N/m²

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the volume of the block. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume (V) = 5 cm × 3 cm × 2 cm

V = 30 cm³

Next, we shall determine the mass of the block. This can be obtained as follow:

Density = 8.9 g/cm³

Volume = 30 cm³

Mass =?

Density = mass /volume

8.9 = mass / 30

Cross multiply

Mass = 8.9 × 30

Mass = 267 g

Next, we shall covert 267 g to Kg.

1000 g = 1 Kg

Therefore,

267 g = 267 g × 1 Kg / 1000

267 g = 0.267 Kg

Thus, the mass of the block is 0.267 Kg

Next, we shall determine the force.

Force of gravity (g) = 10 N/Kg

Mass (m) = 0.267 Kg

Force (F) =?

F = mg

F = 0.267 × 20

F = 2.67 N

Next, we shall determine the minimum area since we are trying to obtain the maximum pressure. This can be obtained as follow:

Minimum area = 3 cm × 2 cm

Covert each measurement to metre (m) by dividing each measurement by 100

Minimum area = 0.03 m × 0.02 m

Minimum area = 0.0006 m²

Finally, we shall determine the maximum pressure. This can be obtained as follow:

Force (F) = 2.67 N

Minimum area = 0.0006 m²

Maximum pressure =?

Maximum pressure = Force /minimum area

Maximum pressure = 2.67 / 0.0006

Maximum pressure = 4450 N/m²

Westkost [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, the deadliest in history, infected an estimated 500 million people worldwide about one-third of the planet’s population and killed an estimated 20 million to 50 million victims, including some 675,000 Americans. The 1918 flu was first observed in Europe, the United States and parts of Asia before swiftly spreading around the world. At the time, there were no effective drugs or vaccines to treat this killer flu strain. Citizens were ordered to wear masks, schools, theaters and businesses were shuttered and bodies piled up in makeshift morgues.

Does this sound familiar?

Its the same thing but with a different name called the Corona virus pandemic the same thing happened in 1918 and now it is happening again in 2020 , but in in 2020 there are far less people infected by the Corona virus as compared to the Spanish flu the numbers approximate around 70 million infected and deaths are around 2 million.

The rapid spread of Spanish flu in the fall of 1918 was at least partially to blame on public health officials unwilling to impose quarantines during wartime. The public health response to the crisis in the United States was further hampered by a severe nursing shortage as thousands of nurses had been deployed to military camps and the front lines. But one of the chief reasons that the Spanish flu claimed so many lives in 1918 was that science simply didn’t have the tools to develop a vaccine for the virus. Microscopes couldn’t even see something as incredibly small as a virus until the 1930s.

That is why the Spanish Flu claimed so many lives in 1918 and the Corona Virus didn't claim that many.

The Corona Virus patients with respect to Spanish Flu patients exponentially decreased because in 2020 we had the specific tools to fight the virus and since mankind was aware when the world engrossed into the pandemic 100 years before the new the risks that it could impose on the world , People started to Quarantine themselves, more nurses/doctors are available rather than in the era of the 19th century.

Mathematically we would say that the exponential growth would be:

y=ab^x

This is an exponential function, which means as you increase  x , y  increases exponentially, and where a is the initial value and b is the growth factor.

For example:

There are 100,000 cases of Coronavirus when the virus outbroke. If the number of cases doubles every week then how many cases would be there in 10 weeks?

So the solution would be

y=ab^x\\y=100000(2)^{10}\\y=102400000

Which means people infected with the virus would be approximate 102.5 million. But since this kind of pandemic already broke out in 1918 called the Spanish flu mankind was wise and controlled its growth factor (b) by Quarantining people , shutting down businesses, schools  and implying them to work from home , closing off cafeteria's restaurants for dine in purposes and just allowing take away to reduce human contact, and since 1918 we have more doctors and nurses to treat the infected in 2020 we reduced the outbreak to 70 million in about 10 months other wise it could have been 100 million in just 2.5 months as we can see.

So guys stay indoors just go out if you REALLY need something, avoid meeting others , wear masks and gloves :)

You are given two unknown point charges, Q1, and Q2. At a point on the line joining them, one third of the way from Q1 to Q2 the
podryga [215]
The formula that is applicable here is E = kQ/r^2 in which the energy of attraction is proportional to the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance. In this case, 
kQ1/(r1)^2 = kQ2/(r2)^2  r1=l/3, r2=2l/3solve Q1/Q2
kQ1/(l/3)^2 = kQ2/(2l/3)^2  kQ1/(l^2/9) = kQ2/(4l^2/9)Q1/Q2 =   1/4

Calculate a rate of cooling down of air from 80 C to 5C Show calculation. Give an answer in cubic meters per minute and cfm.
antoniya [11.8K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Rate of cooling of air

Initial temperature= 80°C

Final temperature = 5°C

We need to calculate

Using newton's law of cooling

\dfrac{dT}{dt}=c(T-T_{0})

\dfrac{dT}{dt}=c(\dfrac{T_{1}+T_{2}}{2}-T_{0})

Where, dT=T_{1}-T_{2}

Here, T =\dfrac{T_{1}+T_{2}}{2}

T_{0} = 25°C  (surrounding temperature)

dt = 1 minute

\dfrac{dT}{dt}=c(\dfrac{T_{1}+T_{2}}{2}-T_{0})

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{80-5}{1}=c(\dfrac{85}{2}-25)

c=\dfrac{75}{17.5}

c=4.285\ cubic\ meter/minute

Hence, This is the required answer.

1.) True or False.
eimsori [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, forces always act in equal but opposite pairs. Another way of saying this is for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. This means that when you push on a wall, the wall pushes back on you with a force equal in strength to the force you exerted. 1.True 2.falues 3.true 4. not really sure on this one
