A brick is 32cm long and 10cm wide. It weighs 16N and is lying on the ground. Find the pressure exerted by the brick on the grou

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Below

Explanation:

First, we need to convert the dimension from cm to m before plugging it into the equation:

32 / 100 = 0.32 m

10 / 100 = 0.1 m

You can use this equation to find the pressure exerted on the ground

Pressure = Force / Area

Plugging our values in.....

Pressure = 16 Newtons / (0.1)(0.32)

= 16 Newtons / 0.032

= 500 N/m^2

Hope this helps! Best of luck <3

if you toss a stick into the air, it appears to wobble all over the place. Specifically, about what place does it wobble?

12345 [234]

Foolish, ambiguous question, with no correct answer, but at a wild guess, it MIGHT wobble about it own axis????

Following are the different layers of the sun’s atmosphere. Rank them based on the order in which a probe would encounter them w

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Going from earth to the sun a probe would encounter the next layers in order:

Corona
Transition Region
Chromosphere
Photosphere
Convection Zone
Radiative Zone
Core

A brief description of them:

Corona is the outermost layer and it cannot be seen with the naked eye, is starts at about 2100 km from the surface of the sun and it has no limit defined.

Transition Region is between the corona and the chromosphere, it has an extension of about 100km

The chromosphere is between 400 km from the surface of the sun to 2100 km. In this layer the further you get away from the sun it gets hotter.

The photosphere is the surface of the sun, the part that we can see, and extends from the surface to 400km.

The convection zone is where convection happens, hot gas rises, cools and rises again.

Radiative Zone is where the photons try to rise to move to higher layers.

The core of the Sun is where nuclear fusion occurs due to the very high temperatures.

In physics, the use of force to move an object is called what

valentina_108 [34]

Answer: work

Explanation:

Often in physics, work is defined as the use of force to move an object. Technically, work is actually a change in energy caused by a force external to the system. The formula for work is W = F⊥d or W = FdcosΘ. Using this formula, we can see that work is just when a force is applied for a certain displacement. In simpler terms, that's just a force used to move an object a certain distance.

Suppose one night the radius of the earth doubled but its mass stayed the same. What would be an approximate new value for the f

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

g' = g/4

Explanation:

The value of the free-fall acceleration at the surface of the earth, can be obtained applying Newton's 2nd law, assuming that the only force acting on an object at the surface of the earth, is the one produced by the mass of the Earth, i.e. gravity.
This force can be expressed according the Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation , as follows:

$F_{g} = G*\frac{m_{x} *m_{E} }{r_{E}^{2} } (1)$

From Newton's 2nd Law, we have:
$F = m* a (2)$
Since the left sides in (1) and (2) are equal each other, both right sides must be equal each other also.
Simplifying the mass m, we can write the acceleration a in (2) as the acceleration due to gravity, g, as follows:

$g = G*\frac{m_{E} }{r_{E}^{2} } (3)$

Since G is an universal constant, and the mass mE remains constant, if we double the radius of the Earth, the new value for the acceleration due to gravity (let's call it g'), is as follows:

$g' = G*\frac{m_{E} }{(2r_{E})^{2} } =G*\frac{m_{E} }{4*r_{E}^{2} } = g*\frac{1}{4} =\frac{g}{4} (4)$
