Answer:

19 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Pressure (P) = 1.9 kPa

Length (L) = 10 cm

Force (F) =?

Next, we shall convert 1.9 KPa to N/m². This can be obtained as follow:

1 KPa = 1000 N/m²

Therefore,

1.9 KPa = 1.9 KPa × 1000 N/m² / 1 KPa

1.9 KPa = 1900 N/m²

Thus, 1.9 KPa is equivalent to 1900 N/m².

Next, we shall convert 10 cm to m. This can be obtained as follow:

100 cm = 1 m

Therefore,

10 cm = 10 cm × 1 m / 100 cm

10 cm = 0.1 m

Thus, 10 cm is equivalent to 0.1 m

Next, we shall determine the area of the square. This can be obtained as follow:

Length (L) = 0.1 m

Area of square (A) =?

A = L²

A = 0.1²

A = 0.01 m²

Thus, the area of the square is 0.01 m².

Finally, we shall determine the force that must be exerted on the sensor in order for it to turn red. This can be obtained as follow:

Pressure (P) = 1900 N/m²

Area (A) = 0.01 m²

Force (F) =?

P = F/A

1900 = F / 0.01

Cross multiply

F = 1900 × 0.01

F = 19 N

Therefore, a force of 19 N must be exerted on the sensor in order for it to turn red.

A box with a mass of 2 kg accelerates in a straight line
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer: 16N

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of box M= 2 kg

Initial speed V1 = 4 m/s

Final speed V2 = 8 m/s

Time taken T= 0.5 s

Average strength of this force F = ?

Now, recall that Force is the rate of change of momentum per unit time

i.e Force = momentum / time

Hence, F = M x (V2 - V1)/T

F = 2kg x (8 m/s - 4 m/s) / 0.5s

F = 2kg x (4 m/s / 0.5s)

F = 2kg x 8 m/s/s)

F = 16N

Thus, the average strength of this

force is 16 newton.
