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.

Why doesn't the skateboarder roll as high each time she goes up the ramp
Westkost [7]

Answer:

The skater has mechanical/gravitational potential energy at the two meter mark. The skater gets to two meters high on the other end of the ramp. In terms of the conservation of energy, the skater will never go higher than two meter on the other end of the the ramp because energy can be neither created nor destroyed.

An electron at Earth's surface experiences a gravitational force of magnitude F=(9.11×10−31 kg)⋅(9.8 m/s2). Part A How far away
katrin [286]

Answer:

r = 5,085 m

Explanation:

The force exerted by on the surface of the Earth on an electron is its weight

          W = F = 9.11 10⁻³¹  9.8

          W = 8.9 10⁻³⁰ N

The electric force between an electron and a proton is given by Coulomb's Law

         Fe = k q₁ q₂ / r²

         Fe = - k q² / r²

They ask us that W = Fe

         W = k q² / r²

          r = √ k q² / W

Let's calculate

        r = √ 8.99 10⁹ (1.6 10⁻¹⁹)² /8.9 10⁻³⁰

        r = √ 25.86

        r = 5,085 m

Let's look for the relationship of this distance with the harmonic distance

        R / R_atomic = 5,085 / 10⁻¹⁰

        R / R_Atomic = 5 10¹⁰

We see that this distance is 10¹⁰ times the interatomic distance, so the gravitational attraction force is very small at atomic scale

fredd [130]

Answer:

t = 39.04 1010 year

Explanation:

This is a nuclear disintegration exercise that is governed by the equation.

     N = N0 e (-lam t)

The average life time is related to nuclear activity

      T ½ = ln 2 / lam

Let's use these two equations for exercise, let's start by finding nuclear activity

     Lam = ln 2 / T ½

     Lam = ln 2 / 4.9 10 10

    Lam = 0.14146 10-10 y-1

They tell us that the relationship atoms

      No / N = 0.0040

Let's look

       No / N = 1/0040

       N/No = 250                                                                                                                                                                                

Let's calculate the time

       (-lam t) = ln (N / No)

,        t = - 1 / lam ln (n / No)

        t = - 1 / 0.14146 10-10 ln (250)

        t = 39.04 1010 year
