Walking down a pebble beach becomes less painful as you enter the sea. Explain why.

Physics
1 answer:
SVEN [57.7K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:Since pressure = force/area, the same force on a smaller area means more pressure. When you are walking on sand, the force being applied by your body is spread out over the entire surface of your foot. ... So, more pressure applied on a given area of your foot causes more pain.

The 9-m boom AB has a fixed end A. A steel cable is stretched from the free end B of the boom to a point Clocated on the vertica
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

27000 Nm

Explanation:

The boom end at A is fixed and end at B is subjected to a 3kN force. Boom AB has length of 9m. The moment about A is the product of force 3kN (3000 N) at B and the moment arm of 9m

M = FL = 3000 * 9 = 27000 Nm

So the moment about A is 27000 Nm

A gas is stored in a sealed container of constant volume. The temperature of the gas increases.
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

If the gas volume is decreased, the container wall area decreases and the molecule-wall collision frequency increases, both of which increase the pressure exerted by the gas. Avogadro's law. At constant pressure and temperature, the frequency and force of molecule-wall collisions are constant.

Explanation:

As the temperature increases, the average kinetic energy increases as does the velocity of the gas particles hitting the walls of the container. The force exerted by the particles per unit of area on the container is the pressure, so as the temperature increases the pressure must also increase.

A tow truck exerts a force of 1850 N on a 840 kg car. What is the acceleration of the car during this time?
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

<h2>2.2 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{1850}{840}  =  \frac{185}{84} \\   = 2.20238095...

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.2 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
