Answer:

Pressure = 39200 N/m²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 60 kg

Area = 150 cm²

Conversion:

1 centimeter square = 0.0001 meter square

150 centimeter square = 150 * 0.0001 = 0.015 m²

To find the pressure exerted on the ground by the person;

Mathematically, pressure is given by the formula;

$Pressure = \frac {Force}{area}$

First of all, we would determine the force exerted by the person.

Force = mass * acceleration due to gravity.

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s².

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Force = 60 * 9.8

Force = 588 Newton

Next, find the pressure;

$Pressure = \frac {Force}{area}$

Substituting into the formula, we have;

$Pressure = \frac {588}{0.015}$

Pressure = 39200 N/m²

When is the kinetic energy of the ball zero and when is it at its highest? When is its potential energy at its lowest and at its

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

if there is only one planet in the universe and the ball is there it will have 0 kinetic energy if the ball is in the very center of that planet only if the planet itself is absolutely motionless. its at its highest if the planet is moving away from the ball at a slightly faster speed forever. Between point A and B both potential energy and kinetic energy are at perfect 0.

Explanation:

never will have a measurable kinetic or potential energy status unless every single object is included in the calculation.

A rocket has landed on Planet X, which has half the radius of Earth. An astronaut onboard the rocket weighs twice as much on Pla

Burka [1]

Explanation:

Let acceleration due to Gravity for a planet is given by:

$g_X=GM/R^2$

Here, $g_X = 2g$

Escape velocity is given by:

$v =\sqrt{ \frac{2GM} {R}} = \sqrt{2aR}$

Here, $R=R_earth/2$

and g_X = 2g

Therefore, $v=\sqrt(2(2g)(R/2))=v_0$

A particle moves along the curve below. y = sqrt(1 + x^3) As it reaches the point (2, 3), the y-coordinate is increasing at a ra

blagie [28]

Answer:7 cm/s

Explanation:

Given

Particle move along curve

$y=\sqrt{1+x^3}$

As it reaches the (2,3) its y coordinate is increasing at 14 cm/s

Differentiating y w.r.t time

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{3x^2}{2\sqrt{1+x^3}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}$

Now at (2,3)

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{3\cdot 2^2}{2\sqrt{1+2^3}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$14=\frac{3\times 4}{2\times \sqrt{9}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=7 cm/s$

It takes at least 4 people to push a refrigerator up a 10-meter ramp. How many people would be needed to push the same refrigera

vaieri [72.5K]

Double the amount of people because the ramp went from 10-meter to 20-meter, so times by 2. 4 times 2 is 8.
The answer is 8 people.

for an object that is speeding up in the positive direction, what does the displacement vs. time graph look like?

slava [35]

Answer:

The speeding up is steady, it is a parabola (a=V*t+(at^2)/2), and give it's an equation in connection to time, at that point, it is conceivable to discover the separation recipe by utilizing more substantial amount mathematics(integrals).
