Answer:

P = 1333.33 N

Explanation:

The pressure exerted by the boy on the floor can be calculated by the following equation:

P = \frac{F}{A}

where,

P = Pressure exerted by the boy = ?

F = Force Applied = Weight of Boy = 40 kg = 40 N (since 1 kg = 1N)

A = Area of application of force = 2(Area of one show) = 2(6 cm x 25 cm)

A = 2(0.06 m x 0.25 m) = 0.03 m²

Therefore,

P = \frac{40\ N}{0.03\ m^2}\\\\

<u>P = 1333.33 N</u>

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

0.0034 sec

Explanation:

L = initial length

T = initial time period = 2.51 s

Time period is given as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

2.51 = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{9.8}}

L = 1.56392 m

L' = new length

ΔT = Rise in temperature = 142 °C

α = coefficient of linear expansion = 19 x 10⁻⁶ °C

New length due to rise of temperature is given as

L' = L + LαΔT

L' = 1.56392 + (1.56392) (19 x 10⁻⁶) (142)

L' = 1.56814 m

T' = New time period

New time period is given as

T' = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L'}{g}}

T' = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{1.56814}{9.8}}

T' = 2.5134 sec

Change in time period is given as

ΔT = T' - T

ΔT = 2.5134 - 2.51

ΔT = 0.0034 sec

The kinetic energy of a moving object is E=12mv2. A 61 kg runner is moving at 10kmh. However, her speedometer is only accurate t
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

e=3367.2J

%e=1.43%

Explanation:

From the exercise we know two information. The real speed and the experimental measured by the speedometer

v_{r}=10km/h=2.77m/s

Since the speedometer is only accurate to within 0.1km/h the experimental speed is

v_{e}=10km/h-0.1km/h=9.9km/h=2.75m/s

Knowing that we can calculate Kinetic energy for the real and experimental speed

E_{r}=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(61000g)(2.77m/s)^2=234023J

E_{e}=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(61000g)(2.75m/s)^2=230656J

Now, the potential error in her calculated kinetic energy is:

e=E_{r}-E_{e}=(234023-230656)J=3367.2J

%e=\frac{E_{r}-E_{e}}{E_{r}}x100=\frac{(234023-230656)J}{234023J}x100=1.43%
