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>

Explain why gases are more compressible than solid
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

If we put pressure on a solid or a liquid, there is essentially no change in volume. ... The kinetic-molecular theory explains why gases are more compressible than either liquids or solids. Gases are compressible because most of the volume of a gas is composed of the large amounts of empty space between the gas particles.

A thin, metallic spherical shell of radius 0.227 m has a total charge of 6.03 × 10 − 6 C placed on it.
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

radius r=0.227 m

Charge on surface Q=6.03\times 10^{-6} C

Point Charge inside sphere q=1.15\times 10^{-6} C

Electric Field at r=0.735 m

Treating Surface charge as Point charge and applying Gauss law

E_{total}A=\frac{q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon _0}

where A=surface area up to distance r

E_{total}=\frac{Q+q}{4\pi r^2}

E_{total}=\frac{6.03\times 10^{-6}+1.15\times 10^{-6}}{4\pi (0.735)^2\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}

E_{total}=1.194\times 10^{5} N/C

A juggler throws a ball straight up into the air. The ball remains in the air for a time (t) before it lands back in the juggler
natka813 [3]

Answer:

9.8 m/s^2, downward

Explanation:

There is only one force acting on the ball during its motion: the force of gravity, which is given by

F=mg

where

m is the mass of the ball

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (downward)

According to Newton's second law,

F=ma

where F is the net force on the object and a is its acceleration. Rearranging for a,

a=\frac{F}{m}

As we said, the only force acting on the ball is gravity, so F = mg and the acceleration of the ball is:

a=\frac{mg}{m}=g

Therefore, the ball has a constant acceleration of 9.8 m/s^2 downward for the entire motion.

An open cart is rolling to the left on a horizontal surface. A package slides down a chute and lands in the cart. Which quantity
Marat540 [252]

Answer: the horizontal component of total momentum

Explanation:

Since the open cart is rolling to the left on the horizontal surface, the quantity that has the same value just before and just after the package lands in the cart is the horizontal component of total momentum.

Momentum, is the product of the mass of a particle and the velocity of the particle. The change of momentum depends on the force which acts on it. The addition of the the individual momenta is the total momentum.
