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

A 5 kg ball is sitting on the floor without moving. What is the momentum of the ball?
natita [175]

Answer:

The ball has no momentum

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the ball = 5 kg

The velocity of the ball = 0 (The ball is sitting on the floor without moving)

The momentum of the ball = The mass of the ball × Velocity of the ball

Therefore, the momentum of the ball = 5 kg × 0 m/s = 0

The momentum of the ball is zero, the ball has no momentum.

If a 7 kg bowling ball is lifted 2 m into the air and dropped, what speed will it strike the ground? (
Naily [24]

Answer:

6.32m/s

Explanation:

note:Now these calculations are based in the fact that acc. due to gravity is 10m/s²

okay so I'm thinking you think the speed of a body depends on the mass of the body also,umh... well it doesn't at all!

when two bodies of different masses fall from the same height,they fall at the same time( this is just to say)

now enough of the talking let solve....

so the ball was dropped .ie from rest to the ground through a distance of 2m,

the formula for calculating the distance if a body moving in a straight line is given by:

S=ut + ½at² where u is initial velocity, a is acceleration ( of the body or due to gravity, but since its falling freely under the influence of gravity its " we use the acceleration due to gravity ,which is 10m/s²) and t is the time taken to cover the distance.

from our question the ball was dropped from rest thus its u is 0 therefore we use this equation to find the time it took to touch ground (S=½at²)

solving ....

we get t to be 0.632s

to find the speed we substitute t in the equation below:

V=u+at ,but since u=0

V=at =10•0.632=6.32m/s

therefore the speed the body uses to strike the ground is 6.32m/s
