ss7ja [257]

Answer:

P = 1471500 [Pa]

Explanation:

We must remember that pressure is defined as the relationship between Force over the area.

P=F/A

where:

P = pressure [Pa] (units of pascals)

F = force [N] (units of Newtons)

A = area of contact = 4 [cm²]

But first we must convert from cm² to m²

A = 4[cm^{2}]*\frac{1^{2} m^{2} }{100^{2} cm^{2} }

A = 0.0004 [m²]

Also, the weight should be calculated as follows:

w = m*g

where:

m = mass = 60 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

Now replacing:

w = 60*9.81\\w = 588.6[N]

And the pressure:

P=588.6/0.0004\\P=1471500 [Pa]

Because 1 [Pa] = 1 [N/m²]

A sled is accelerating down a hill at a rate of 1 m s2 . If the mass of the sled is suddenly cut in half and the net force on th
mihalych1998 [28]
We have that F=ma from the 2nd Newton law where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration. Suppose we have that F' is the new force and m' is the new mass. Then, we have that a'=F'/m' still, by rearranging Newton's law. We are given that F'=2F and m'=m/2. Hence,
a'= \frac{2F}{ \frac{m}{2} } = \frac{4F}{m} = 4\frac{F}{m}
But now, we have from F=ma, that a=F/m and we are given that a=1m/s^2.
We can substitute thus, a'=4a=4*1m/s^2=4m/s^2.

Anarel [89]

Answer:

5.714 hours / day

Explanation:

<u>Calculate the hours used in that week </u>

120000 / 3000 = 120 / 3 = 40 hours a week

<u>Calculate the amount it is used in one day</u>

40 / 7 = 5.71428571 hours or 5.714 hours/day

A key falls from a bridge that is 45 m above the water. the key falls straight down and lands in a model boat traveling at a con
erastova [34]

Let the key is free falling, therefore from equation of motion

h = ut +\frac{1}{2}gt^2..

Take initial velocity, u=0, so

h = 0\times t + \frac{1}{2}g t^2= \frac{1}{2}gt^2.

h = 0\times t + \frac{1}{2}g t^2= \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \\\ t =\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }

As velocity moves with constant velocity of 3.5 m/s, therefore we can use formula

d= v \times t

From above substituting t,

d = v \times \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }.

Now substituting all the given values and g = 9.8 m/s^2, we get

d = 3.5 \ m/s \times \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 45 m}{9.8 m/s^2} } = 10.60 m.

Thus, the distance the boat was from the point of impact when the key was released is 10.60 m.
