Answer:

P=160000Pa

Explanation:

You haven't specified what to calculate

But looking at the parameters I think the question is asking to calculate the pressure exerted.

Pressure=Force/Area

P=40000/0.25m²

P=160000Pa

What is the predicted result when two different materials of equal mass absorb the same amount of energy by heat flow?

Ludmilka [50]

The correct is D.

Explanation: The specific heat is defined as heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass by one degree. Greater the specific heat, more is the heat required to raise the temperature for equal mass. So, the temperature of the material with lowest specific heat will increase the most for the same amount of heat energy.

Please help me with this physics prooblem

zaharov [31]

Take the missile's starting position to be the origin. Assuming the angles given are taken to be counterclockwise from the positive horizontal axis, the missile has position vector with components

$x=v_0\cos20.0^\circ t+\dfrac12a_xt^2$

$y=v_0\sin20.0^\circ t+\dfrac12a_yt^2$

The missile's final position after 9.20 s has to be a vector whose distance from the origin is 19,500 m and situated 32.0 deg relative the positive horizontal axis. This means the final position should have components

$x_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=(19,500\,\mathrm m)\cos32.0^\circ$

$y_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=(19,500\,\mathrm m)\sin32.0^\circ$

So we have enough information to solve for the components of the acceleration vector, $a_x$ and $a_y$ :

$x_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=\left(1810\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\cos20.0^\circ(9.20\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12a_x(9.20\,\mathrm s)^2\implies a_x=21.0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

$y_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=\left(1810\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\sin20.0^\circ(9.20\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12a_y(9.20\,\mathrm s)^2\implies a_y=110\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

The acceleration vector then has direction $\theta$ where

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{a_y}{a_x}\implies\theta=79.2^\circ$

A force of 10N acts on a car for 3 seconds. The impulse imparted on the car is

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

30N*s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 10N

Time = 3 seconds

To find the impulse;

Impulse = force * time

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Impulse = 10 * 3

Impulse = 30Ns
