Answer:

The force on one square foot of the earth’s surface caused by the atmosphere is 101.4 kN.

Explanation:

To force is given by:

F = P*A   (1)

Where:

P: is the pressure = 14.7 lb/in²

A: is the area = 1 m²

By entering the above values into equation (1) we have:

F = P*A = 14.7 \frac{lb}{in^{2}}*\frac{4.45 N}{1 lb}*\frac{1550 in^{2}}{1 m^{2}}*1 m^{2} = 101.4 kN                  

Therefore, the force on one square foot of the earth’s surface caused by the atmosphere is 101.4 kN.

I hope it helps you!

8. A car initially has 100 J of total energy. After driving down the road, the car's
sveta [45]

The work done on the car is -20 J.

Work done on the car is negative, meaning that the car actually does work on the external system.

<h3>Energy and law of conservation of energy</h3>
  • Energy is the ability to do work
  • the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy in a system is conserved

From the law of conservation of energy, the initial energy of the car before it moves down the road remains constant or unchanged.

  • Initial energy = 100 J
  • Initial energy = Final energy - work done on car
  • Final Energy = Work done on car + initial energy

80J = Work done on car + 100 J

Work done on car = 80 - 100J

Work done on car = -20 J

Hence, the work done on the car is -20 J

Work done on car is negative.

Since work done on the car is negative, it means that the car actually does work on the external system. Hence, the decrease in the energy of the car.

A rocket in deep space has an empty mass of 220 kg and exhausts the hot gases of burned fuel at 2500 m/s. What mass of fuel is n
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let fuel is released at the rate of dm / dt where m is mass of the fuel

thrust created on rocket

= d ( mv ) / dt

= v dm / dt

this is equal to force created on the rocket

= 220 dv / dt

so applying newton's law

v dm / dt = 220 dv / dt

v dm = 220 dv

dv / v = dm / 220

integrating on both sides

∫ dv / v    = ∫ dm / 220

lnv =  ( m₂ - m₁ ) / 220

ln4000 - ln 2500 = ( m₂ - m₁ ) / 220

( m₂ - m₁ ) = 220 x ( ln4000 - ln 2500 )

( m₂ - m₁ ) = 220 x ( 8.29  - 7.82 )

= 103.4 kg .

Why do streets and highways have speed limits rather than velocity limits?
andrew11 [14]

They actually DO have velocity limits. There are legal restrictions on both speed and direction.

-- Speeds are limited according to the black numbers on white signs that you see on sign-posts everywhere.

-- Directions are limited by the layout of the pavement and curbs on all the highways, avenues, roads, boulevards and streets, as well as the countless signs that say "One Way", "No Left Turn", "Keep Right", "Keep Left", etc. Violate one of these, and you get nailed as sure as if you had exceeded a posted speed limit.
