Answer:

47911.1 pa

Explanation:

The SI base unit of pressure is pascal, which is N/m^2.

2200 kg is 2200*9.8=21560 N, and 4500 cm^2=4500/10000=0.45 m^2.

So the total pressure exerted on the ground (!!) is 21560/0.45= 47911.1 Pa.

Answer:

pressure =

47911.11 \:  \: pascals

Explanation:

here's the solution :-

force = weight of elephant.

=》f = mg

( where m = mass and g = acceleration due to gravity )

=》f = 2200 × 9.8

=》force = 21560 N

( note : acceleration due to gravity is also taken as approximate 10 , unless it is not mentioned in question we are taking it as 9.8 )

Area of footprint of elephant = 4500 cm^2

=》

\frac{4500}{10000} \:  meter {}^{2}

=》0.45 m^2

now,

=》pressure = mass ÷ area in contact

=》

p =  \frac{21560}{0.45}

=》

p = 47911.11 \: pascals

siniylev [52]
I can tell you're not very educated because everyone knows that breathing pure oxygen for long periods of time can sometimes hurt us. Oxygen in lower levels, such as levels found in atmosphere are just right for us to breathe. Get a life and stop trying to scare young kids that just want help on their homework.

the copper anode is weighed before and after the electrolysis reation. if the copper anode is not completely dry when it is weig
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Faraday's constant will be smaller than it is supposed to be.

Explanation:

If the copper anode was not completely dry when its mass was measured, mass of the copper must be heavier than it should have been. Hence, the calculated Faraday’s constant would be smaller than it is supposed to be since when calculating Faraday’s Constant, the charge transferred is divided by the moles of electrons.

A homogeneous mixture or solution consists of _____.
Fed [463]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A mixture in which the components are evenly distributed or the components are present in same proportion throughout the mixture is known as a homogeneous mixture or solution.

As a result, there exists only one phase in the mixture. The components of mixture can be in solid, liquid or gaseous form.

For example, when sodium chloride (solid phase) is added in water (liquid phase) then it completely dissolve in it. Thus, there will be no boundary between the solute and solvent. Hence, it forms a homogeneous solution.

Therefore, we can conclude that a homogeneous mixture or solution consists of substances in more than one phase.
