Answer:

Pressure is defined as the force divided by the area perpendicular to the force over which the force is applied, or. P=FA. A given force can have a significantly different effect depending on the area over which the force is exerted Pressure the effect of a force applied to a surface is a derived unit, obtained from combining base units. The unit of pressure in the SI system is the pascal (Pa), defined as a force of one Newton per square meter. The conversion between atm, Pa, and torr is as follows: 1 atm = 101325 Pa = 760 torr.

Explanation:

Pressure and force are related, and so you can calculate one if you know the other by using the physics equation, P = F/A. Because pressure is force divided by area, its meter-kilogram-second (MKS) units are newtons per square meter, or N/m2. If you convert an atmosphere to pounds per square inch, it's about 14.7 psi.

Jada is rowing a boat across a river that has a current of 5 m/s in the ˆ j direction. Leanne, standing on the shore, observes J

olchik [2.2K]

Answer: d. 8.25 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that Current= 5 m/s in j direction

Velocity= 8 m/s i + 3 m/s j

Now, we have to find Jada's speed with respect to the water.

First we find Jada's velocity with respect to water

v= (8 i + 3 j) - (5 j)

v= 8i - 2 j

To find the speed, we take the magnitude of this velocity vector we have

|v|= $\sqrt{(8)^2+(-2)^2}$

|v|= $\sqrt{68}$ = 8.246 m/s

which comes out to be around = 8.25 m/s

So option d is correct.

A spherical snowball melts at a rate proportional to its surface area. (a) write a differential equation for its volume, v. (use

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The rate of change in volume is proportional to the surface area:

dV/dt = kA

Integrating:

V = kAt + C

At t=0, V = s, so:

s = kA(0) + C

C = s

Therefore:

V = kAt + s

Weak magnetic fields can be measured at the surface of the brain. Although the currents causing these fields are quite complicat

STALIN [3.7K]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to a magnetic field in spheres.

By definition we know that the magnetic field in a sphere can be described as

$B = \frac{\mu_0}{2}\frac{Ia^2}{(z^2+a^2)^{3/2}}$

Where,

a = Radius

z = Distance to the magnetic field

I = Current

$\mu_0 =$ Permeability constant in free space

Our values are given as

$D=2a = 16cm \rightarrow$ diameter of the sphere then,

$a = 0.08m$

Thus z = a

$B = \frac{\mu_0}{2}\frac{Ia^2}{(a^2+a^2)^{3/2}}$

$B = \frac{\mu_0I}{2(2^{3/2})a}$

$B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2^{5/2}a}$

Re-arrange to find I,

$I = \frac{2^{5/2}Ba}{\mu_0}$

$I = \frac{2^{5/2}(3*10^{-12})(8*10^{-2})}{4\pi*10^{-7}}$

$I = 1.08*10^{-6}A$

Therefore the current at the pole of this sphere is $1.08*10^{-6}A$

Two steamrollers begin 100 m apart and head toward each other, each at a constant speed of 1.00 m/s . At the same instant, a fly

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The fly travels 2.4 m

Explanation:

Since the Two steamrollers begin 100 m apart and head toward each other, each at a constant speed of 1.00 m/s, we can find the time until they crash by the formula:

Distance = Speed × Time

Time = Distance /Speed

Time = (100 m) / (1 m/s)

Time = 100 hours

Now, the fly will spend the same amount of time traveling as the steamrollers.

Since the fly moves at a speed of 2.4 m/s and we have a time of one hour the steamroller take to collide, then the fly will go a distance of;

Distance = speed x time = 2.4 × 1 = 2.4 m
